POWW Faves! and Shabby Apple Giveaway Reminder!

June 25, 2011 by Cassie 16 Comments

Hi kids!  What a weekend… not in a good way!  I started feeling a wee bit of a sore throat Wednesday night, and Friday morning went to the Dr. thinking I had strep.  Fortunately it was not strep, but unfortunately that means there is nothing they can prescribe to cure me of this miserable viral cold.  For the second evening in a row, I am in bed with long sleeves and all the blankets, even though it’s in the 80’s outside.  YUCK.

But despite how I am feeling,  wanted to share my favorites from this week’s POWW party.  And maybe it’s because I don’t feel well and I am cranky, but I had to delete 6 links this week… please follow the rules! I hate being a meanie, but I will if I have to!

You guys really make it hard for me to pick faves each week, but here we go!

This dresser from Twice Nice is so fresh and funky!  Classic with a fun twist, and I love it!

Love this DIY frame headboard from Fab Rehab Creations.  It has a very funky Anthropologie feel to me and is mixed beautifully with the patterns and colors in the bedding.

And I thought this dresser reinvention into a bar was pure genius from Artsy VaVa.  And the added mirrors are a glamorous bonus!

Lastly I loved this graphite colored French piece from A Few Good Pieces.  The color is so bold and masculine, and works so nicely on such a curvy and feminine piece.  It’s a beautiful marriage, and perfect because Kathie is celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary this weekend!

I also want to give an honorable mention to Inspired Apartment.  Elle finished a beautiful desk and chair, and something is wrong with her comments…. I wasn’t the only one who noticed I was unable to comment.  So Elle, please know that it is not that we didn’t all love your project, but we were unable to leave you any comment love on this fabulous project!

I went to bed at 7:30 last night and I think I may do the same tonight.  Trying to get a house ready to sell is exhausting anyhow, but add being sick to the mix, and I. Am. Done.
Oh, and don’t forget about my Shabby Apple Giveaway!  It ends tomorrow night, winner announced Monday!  Here is what you could win!

    So excited that you featured Twice Nice’s dresser!!! She was so unsure of this project because it was outside the norm and ask all of her followers to chime in. I was almost screaming at her to leave it. I was so excited to see something different in a world that is filled with chalk paint projects out of the same three colors!!! lol I am so happy for her. This is inspiration to many to stay true to what feels right and to put it out there!! Yeah!

    YEE HAW, THANK YOU!! How awesome to be featured as a fave. Particularly with a piece I was feeling very insecure about. What an awesome community out here. I’ve lurked on your blog for the longest time admiring your work! Dolly was painted while I was suffering through a similar summer cold 2 weeks ago. Who knows what you’ll be up once that fever passes!:-) Thanks again, Deb

    Hi Cassie..hope you feel better real soon!
    I am just getting over something that sounds like yours…started with a dsore throat and ended up being a dry cough that would have its uncontrollable outbursts.
    Annoying, although my energy level never failed me..now hubby has it ๐Ÿ™
    Anyway, your DIY’s are beautiful!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Deborah xoxo

    Ooooooh….all of those pieces you chose are beautiful! And I am so sorry that you aren’t feeling well. Stay warm and cozy and I will help to will it away for you. It’s the best I can do from Ca. If I was there, I would totally make you tea and soup! ๐Ÿ˜‰
