I wrote this post on Thursday night… I wanted to add that my heart goes out to all of those in CT affected by the tragic events of yesterday.  At times like this, there are no words.  Just pray.  Just hug your babies.  Just let the people you love know how much they mean to you.  And do everything you can to be a positive influence in the lives of all the people you meet and see on a daily basis, because whether you know it or not, you make a difference…. in the smallest moments, just a smile even, you make a difference.

Happy Saturday!  My in-laws arrived safely last night and we will be celebrating Christmas with them this weekend!  We are all excited to spend time with them and celebrate!  Emmy may or may not be receiving the Molly American Girl from my in laws…. I think she is going to be so excited!!!  I can’t wait to see her face.  I also have a handmade gift I plan to share next week that I made for my mother-in-law. 🙂

Well, let’s check out this week’s POWW faves, shall we?  It was a smaller party this week, but I imagine most people are getting ready for the holidays and not painting- I know that’s me right now!

Kristine from The Painted Hive shared these awesome chairs with seats that were replaced with metal- I love this idea!  I have used plywood before, but this has a super cool look and doesn’t need to be upholstered.

Dear Emmeline’s Jessica showed off this amazing built in her husband created for her!  LOVE it!

Groovy Green Designs shared this cool Where the Wild Things Are desk…

How gorgeous is this dresser from At Home, Sweet Home?  Love those knobs!

And finally, love this “Jude” cabinet from Simply Reinvented.  You have to head over to hear the story behind the name of the piece, and also send some prayers.

Happy Saturday!  Hope you have an amazing weekend!

Happy Saturday!  Chris is away this weekend, golfing with his brother for his birthday weekend in North Carolina, so I am solo mama! This morning the kids and I are off to the town fire hall for breakfast, then off to Emmy’s soccer game (Sawyer doesn’t have one this weekend), and then Emmy’s got a birthday party to go to!  After the party, who knows?  It’s going to be gorgeous, so whatever we do we will do it outside!  Tonight, I think we shall al snuggle in my bed with a movie…. that sounds heavenly!  Do you have any fun plans this weekend?

How bout some eye candy to start off your weekend?  Let’s check out the faves from this week’s party!

I am always a sucker fro French grey beds, and these beds from Sharon at Elizabeth and Co fit the bill! Dreamy!

I am totally in a gray phase right now, so totally digging this piece from Leone Design.

Strawberries and Sweet Love shared adorable dresser makeovers for her daughter’s room- this space is fit for a princess!

How gorgeous, sexy, and glamorous is this vanity from A Girl and a Brush?  The person who owns it needs to be all those things, too.  I mean, don’t you think if you have a piece of furniture like this in your home, you owe it that much?

I love this fun green campaign chest makeover from Honey Sweet Home…. stunning!

Another  glossy bright makeover came from Design Par Deux… LOVE this fun chair!

And another gorgeous bed makeover from Raspberry Row.… This bed is so gorgeous!

WOW.  Were those all amazing features or what?  Awesome week, friends!  Make it an awesome weekend!
