Be Inspired Features and Link Party #166

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back for features and party day!

Lots of great features to share again this week, so let's get right to it .....

If you love beautiful garden tours, then you should be following Tracie over at Fishtail Cottage. Her gardens are positively swoon-worthy!

Last week I featured the amazing coastal home from Finding Silver Pennies. This week Danielle shared her charming back porch deck. It's a beautiful extension of her home!

I love the combination of natural wood and paint on the desk from Start @ Home!

This beautiful vintage dresser from Mary at Orphans With MakeUp is headed to a nursery!

Even the inside is pretty!

And more beautiful vintage goodness from Mary Beth's Place!

I am a huge fan of navy blue and it was the perfect color choice for this tradition desk from Cynthia at Clockwork Interiors. Navy and gold is a classic combination that will never go out of style!

Jamie from Anderson + Grant created a beautifully simple rustic mantel for summer and also shared the details on her DIY rustic wood candlesticks!

You will love the story behind the bits and pieces that came together to create this Primitive Junk Angel from Scavenger Chic!

So did you make a New Year's resolution this year? Do you even remember? Well I loved this post from Style In Season about making one small, realistic resolution each month of the year. You can start today!

And hopefully your resolution is not to completely give up sweets, because this Lemon Bundt Cake from Simply Suzanne's At Home looks amazing!

Early June Garden Happenings

It's been a wet and chilly week around here, but I have a feeling that we'll be richly rewarded once the sun finally returns. In the meantime, here's a peek at what's been happening so far!

I love carefree perennials in the flower beds, but fill pots with annuals and herbs for color and immediate impact. The only real downside is that they need to be watered almost daily in the heat of summer. 

I like pots in groups of three and I try different varieties and color combinations every year!

Here in Maryland, we are just transitioning from the spring flowering bulbs, shrubs and trees to the perennials.

The vegetable gardens are my husband's domain and they are off to a great start. 

Yesterday I spotted the very first peas.

Last year we were overwhelmed with green beans, so the plan this year is to plant a half a row at a time.

This is the salad bed. We've already been enjoying the onions and radishes.

So there you have it, a quick garden tour between rain showers.

And here's my little garden helper, curls blowing in the breeze.
She likes to water, just like her mommy!
