POWW Faves

December 15, 2012 by Cassie 8 Comments

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!
Please remember if you wish to pin, pin from the original source, or repin from my FEATURES BOARD.

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!

    Wonderful projects this week. And yes, the girls got some extra hugs yesterday from their sniffling mom. So, so sad and senseless, my heart breaks.

    I love those chairs! Just when you think you have seen all there is to do with old Kitchen Country chairs.

    Thank you for the sweet words re the Connecticut tragedy. Just so heartbreaking. I had such a difficult time explaining this to my kids. Of course, they heard about it before I could tell them, texting! They didn’t tell them at school, which I was grateful for. Yes, just count each moment you have with your loved ones as that much more meaningful.

    Some beautiful pieces here, Cassie. Always very inspiring.

    It has been difficult trying to get into a normal routine. The tragedy has hit close to home. It is important that we maintain a sense of normal for our children.

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!

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?

    they are all awesome Cassie! Love the drawer window boxes.

    My Saturday is done and dusted, and I am off to bed. I have an early start tomorrow, up at 5am for a market. Today I was busy finishing off a few pieces for the market. Next weekend I am looking forward to some family time with no paintbrushes in sight!

    Enjoy your weekend

    Oh how I love furniture transformations! They are all beautiful, but that bed at the end is killer!

    Have fun with the kiddos this weekend, you’ll have to do some wild and crazy things while Daddy is away. Breakfast for dinner before your movie perhaps? That’s my kids’ fave when dad is away. Enjoy 🙂
