Inspiration Friday Party No. 20!

Welcome to the Party!

How is it possible that this is the 20th Inspiration Friday?
We are some party animals around here!

There was so much wonderful Inspiration linked up last week that we are just going to get right to it.

Pamela at From My Front Porch to Yours shared this AMAZING transformation of an inherited kitchen island.

She took it from this...

TO THIS!!!

It is hard to believe it is the same island!

Just look at some of the details she added.

It is just gorgeous, Pamela and you did an absolutely fantastic job!

Next up is the Homemaker on a Dime.

She found this $18 Goodwill dresser and had a vision...

A vision that took it from this,

TO THIS!!!

I know! Isn't that incredible?

I'm lovin' those lamps too by the way!



Now when I get cabin fever I find myself doing a lot of things.

Most are not productive.
Like eating too much.

But, not the Town and Country Mom!

She and her handy hubby found themselves snowbound and took that opportunity to complete a project.

I'm guessing that is probably the healthier way to combat Cabin Fever.

They have this gorgeous fireplace which is flanked by 2 bookcases and they wanted to make it more integrated as well as visually interesting, capitalizing on the character of their home.

Enter a board and batten treatment and VOILA!

Doesn't that look like the perfect spot for curling up with a good book? It reminds me of something you would see in the English countryside.

I'm noticing a theme this week in the Highlights...can you tell I have a hankering for some big projects???

Might just have to get myself over to the Hardware Store!

So what have you been up to this week?
If you are new to Inspiration Friday, you should know that this is a party where ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is welcome!
Recipes, home decorating, crafts (just because I'm not crafty doesn't mean I don't appreciate those who are!), stories reflecting your heart and everything in between.

We want to see it!

So, here are the guidelines and be sure to pop over and visit each other. I'm thinking we may have some new bloggers joining us this week so let's make them feel warmly welcomed.

1. Add your Permalink to your entry but not your General Blog Address. To get your Permalink, click on the title of the blog post you are wanting to submit and copy and paste the address into the URL box. You will also have to add your email address but it will not be visible to anyone else.

2. Do not try and Link up until you have actually published that particular post on your blog.
3. Please link back to the host blog, Southern In My Heart, so that those who visit your blog will be able to find some wonderful Inspiration from everyone else.



Have a fabulous weekend my friends!
