So, how about some features from last week?


ROOM MAKEOVERS

Our lovely friend Leslie from Goodbye House Hello Home shared her incredible dining and living room transformation! It is just so beautiful and full of wonderful details. You have to see the Before photos to truly appreciate what a big transformation this really is!

Apparently we aren’t the only ones with dining rooms on the brain because another gorgeous one came to us by way of Jennifer of Town and Country Living.
This just has Spring written all over it, doesn’t it? Beautiful!

Our wonderful friend Kristin from My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia recently completed this gorgeous Loft Makeover and not only was this a huge transformation, it is also just filled with so many incredible details. You have to go take a look for yourself!



RECIPES

With a Grateful Prayer and a Thankful Heart shared this Cream Cheese Pound Cake which not only sounds yummy but looks divine. Now if only someone could figure out how to keep Pound Cake from putting on the “pounds”!

And if some Cream Cheese Pound Cake isn’t enough sweetness for you we invite you take a bite of one of these gorgeous Take Six’s Cupcakes that Lisa created!

GREAT IDEAS

Andrea of Signs by Andrea created this incredible Personalized Baseball Scoreboard for a client which was inspired by a Pottery Barn version. Isn’t that just fantastic??!

We love this idea from RE-invented Style for a Mom Camp!
She and her friends got together and created an awesome Summer Camp for their kids where each mom takes a different day and theme and

We know for those of you who sew, keeping your fabric organized can be the biggest challenge. We love this idea from Shirley at I “Shir” Can Craft that is both pretty and functional!

  41. Hi girls! Hope y’all are having a great week. I’ve been out of town a lot lately, so I haven’t gotten to peruse blogs as much as I like. But I’m grateful to be with you today. I’m linking up my simple little pantry update–a chalkboard on the back of the pantry door. Thanks for hosting the party!!

  46. Hi Vanessa and Heather, thanks for hosting! I put up a post about babywearing, a super healthy protein bar recipe perfect for teen”s lunch boxes or as a well deserved snack after a work-out. I also put up best natural cold remedy foods as we all know someone who has the snuffles and finally three tried and tested recipes for soothing baby’s butt. One is a barrier cream, the second a baby wipe solution and the third a healing salve along with a short tutorial on how to make calendula oil . Those of you who have made my healing salve or lip balms will probably have most of the ingredients to hand already!
    Some of you may know I also host a linky,-although still in its early days- and am seeking even more wonderful creative women to come and share their beautiful posts there too! It’s called Seasonal Celebration and can be found at Natural Mothers Network https://naturalmothersnetwork.com
