BFF Open House Link Party

Happy Friday Eve all! It's been HOT here even for the desert this week. 117 degrees. I now live on the Sun lol. Hope you've all had cooler weeks, filled with cool creative projects. See what I did there? Let's take a look at some ideas from last week's party! 


I'm in love with barn style hanging doors and this one from Repurpose and Upcycle is no exception. 


If you're lucky enough to have (or have access to) a Lake House, then Follow The Yellow Brick Home has some wonderful ideas for Vintage Cottage Summer decor and entertaining. Even if you don't, you can bring a little of the lake to you! 


A little paint and a paint pen are all you need to transform an old metal lamp into a fun addition to any room. In this case, Le Cultivateur transformed this one for her son's sports themed room! 



Finally, one of the hallmark signs of Summertime for me is strawberries. I've never made my own jam but this easy recipe from Butter With A Side Of Bread looks very doable and delicious! 


Now let's see what everyone's been up to this week!

BFF Open House Link Party


Happy Friday Eve all! Hope you've had a creative week. Got my soon to be new office accent wall finished and did some stenciling so sometime in the future you'll get to see. In the meantime, here are some features from last week's party! 


Who doesn't love a good IKEA hack? Loving this Farmhouse look from Hannah at Handmade Weekly. I would never have guessed this was brand new from IKEA. 


Who says a chicken feeder only has to be used for chicken feed? Lisa, from Fresh Vintage By Lisa S, transformed an old one into a great succulent planter but kept the original purpose associated by stenciling it. Cute! 


I'm going to have a lot of wall space to cover and always appreciate a DIY idea. Carol from The Red Painted Cottage has a great tutorial on making Watercolor Canvases using Watercolor Grounds. 


Finally, what's better than a two-bite brownie ( or 5 or 6 lol) ? A Lowfat Two Bite Brownie like these from This Happy Mommy, made using Greek Yogurt. YUM!

Now, let's see what everyone's been up to !

BFF Open House Link Party


Happy Friday Eve all! Hope everyone's survived the week. Getting used to my first monsoon season here in the desert. We've been here for a few but nothing like this! Been distracted the past couple of weeks and looking forward to soon being settled in new digs. Here are some features from last week's party!


Artsy Va Va was back with another amazing makeover! Check out this gorgeous Record Cabinet Makeover! 


I have seen these stands at antique and vintage stores and they've been overpriced. I just discovered that they sell a version of them at Harbor Freight Tools so with a little spray paint, I can antique my own and have a cool tiered stand like this one from Penny's Vintage Home ! She found hers for 75% off at Hobby Lobby. 


There's nothing quite like German Glass Glitter but it can get pricey. Eco Friendly Saver has a great way to make your own using broken glass ornaments!


Finally, nothing says Summer like S'Mores but how about as ice cream? Better yet, No Churn Ice Cream from All That's Jas

OK now let's see what everyone's been up to this week!

BFF Open House Link Party


Ack! Been busy with house stuff and forgot my own party. Hope everyone had a nice Fourth! I will get back on track with features, but for this week it'll be "party on". Thanks for understanding!
