We sure hope so! BUT…We have a SPECIAL REQUEST of you, if you visit INSPIRATION FRIDAY and like to PIN the great projects you see here!

We are asking you to PRETTY PLEASE (with sugar on top) visit the ACTUAL PROJECT and PIN from there! Here’s why…

ONE: If someone clicks on your pin and ends up here…they’ll be disappointed, because the project they want information on won’t be HERE, it will be on the original blog…we don’t want to be accused of  the old bait and switch…lol and they’ll have to search for the original feature or IF link.

TWO: We want YOU…yes YOU, you fabulous, talented, creative and inspiring friends of Inspiration Friday to receive the credit, traffic and acoulades deserving of such amazing projects! We want people to find your lovely blogs through Pinterest and to see your amazing stuff!

SO PLEASE take that extra step to PIN from ORIGINAL SOURCES…it will make Pinterest a better place for all bloggers!  Now, if you like what you see here At The Picket Fence that WE create, then by all means pin away from here…we won’t mind! 😉

We are just slightly crazy for this amazing Boy’s Room shared with us by Maple Leaves and Sycamore Trees! Check out that ceiling. It was made using Pallets! There are so many incredible details in this space that you simply must, MUST, go over and see the entire post.

And speaking of pallets…ummm…wait…what just happened…oh sorry! We were just completely distracted by these 2 ADORABLE children totally stealing the thunder from this darling little pallet table!
I mean, can you blame us? This project was shared with us by Brooke of Start at Home and even though the table was upstaged by those sweeties, we still think this is an amazing idea!

Our mouths started watering when we saw this gorgeous Herb and Gruyere Quiche from Allison at
Main St. Cuisine …she calls it “simple” we call it gorgeous and yummy!

We also loved how Dee Dee of ddzine created one-of-a-kind artwork in her living room when she framed the architectural blue prints of their home.  The punch of color it adds is perfect for this already beautiful space!

And speaking of art, we adore the original owl artwork that Vikki from the Quirky Quail created for her new grandson! The colors are so cheerful and fun, perfect for a baby’s room! Welcome baby Oliver to the world, you have one creative Nanna!

And finally, we had to share this amazing kitchen makeover from Jody at Homey Home Design.  Jody shared her kitchen reveal  and then wrote a follow up post with all of the great tips!  Just gorgeous!!
