We will have even more incredible items to share with you next week and we would love it if you would pay these talented folks a visit and check out all that they have to offer!
 
And…one last thing we want to share with you…Are you following us on
Pinterest

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! 😉


THANK YOU !!

Now, let’s get to our Features from last week’s party!
We love that our sweet friend Ange from The Blooming Hydrangea is taking a “go big or go home” approach with her beautiful master bedroom makeover. Check out how fantastic those coral colored nightstands (thrifty finds of course!) look against that amazing stenciled wall. You rock Ange!
Janel of Hating Martha…Imperfection at its best created these gorgeous Log Moss Gardens. She doesn’t actually hate Martha! Winking smile
But she does want to keep things real and we definitely appreciate that!
Lisa from Simply…This, That and The Other created these adorable Felt Baby Booties. She is just so talented and you must pay her blog a visit to see more of her creativity!
Miss Kopy Kat shared an amazing tutorial with us on how to turn a Print into a Painting. We absolutely loved how she enhanced the frame as well as the print and made it all look like it belongs in an art gallery!
The sisters of Be Book Bound shared the recipe for these scrumptious Lemon Blueberry Scones.
We love sisters who blog together, especially when they share such yummy inspirations with us!
Now, you know we love having Inspiring stories linked up at our party and we so appreciated reading this one shared with us by Inspired by Family Magazine. It was part of a February Series entitled Loving Your Man When it Hurts and is an honest and real look at the roller coaster ride that is marriage.

We are sure you, like us, have been seeing these two gorgeous kitchens showing up at several features the last few weeks…and rightfully so!!

This first kitchen remodel is from Carmel of Our Fifth House…isn’t it fabulous?!

and we LOVE Kelli at Eclectically Vintage’s gorgeous new makeover as well! Aren’t these wine jug fixtures amazing?!

Make sure you pop in and visit both of these amazing kitchens!

  2. Hi Heather and Vanessa!

    LOVING your features this week – I just can’t get over the bedroom makeover by Ange from The Blooming Hydrangea; it’s STUNNING!

    Wow, I’m super early to the party this week!! I’ll certainly have to stop by again a few times to see all the other amazing projects.

    This week I’m linking up to a Ballard Designs bulletin board knock-off I did for my monthly contributor spot over at Remodelaholic (link # 2). I hope you all like it! I’m thrilled with how it turned out (and it ended up being WAY more cost-effective than the original! Gotta love saving money, right!?)

    Thanks for hosting!

    Take care,
    Christina

  10. Thanks as always for hosting. I’m all linked up. Love your awesome features. Great tip to all about pinning. I always try to do that and I always try to leave a comment letting someone know I am pinning their photo. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel right.

  56. Heather THANKYOU so much for commenting on my Mardi Gras Table post. It means so much to me that you came. And for it to be on your facebook….well I’m honored and flattered. I’m going there in a flash. With 377 links on your party..I’m honestly overwhelmed.

    And thankyou for hosting this fun party. There are at least 15 or more of those links that I am going to see. I don’t recall that I have ever seen so many in one party that just took my eye. What amazing bloggers you have hooking up to the parties. Wow.

    Hugs,

    Nann
