Now, how about a recap of what’s been happening around the Fence this week?

On Sunday, Vanessa shared the latest installment of her Labor of the Heart series and we got to learn more about what Mother’s Day means to her.

Next, Heather showed us How to Age New Garden Pots .

Features from last week!

INSPIRED ROOMS

Bethany of Pitter and Glink revealed her “super organized, amazingly beautiful, makes me want to do a happy dance Craft Room Makeover” and we couldn’t agree with her sentiments more!
This is just such a darling playroom created by Suzy at Worthing Court for her granddaughters!
Check out that cool pendant light and the fabulous fabric!
Every time we pay a virtual visit to the gorgeous home of Mary Ann from Classic Casual Home we feel like we are looking through the pages of a magazine! And last week was no exception when she showed us her beautiful Spring/Summer Living Room.
Ahhhh…we can almost here the ocean in the distance.

MAKEOVERS
The talented Kate from Salvage Dior turned an old director’s chair (found curbside of course) into this fabulous coffee table! And do you see that round end table over there in the corner? That was made using an old water bottle stand! How cool and clever is that?!
Little Miss Maggie turned old cabinet doors into these beautiful French Menu signs!
We just love all of the charm and character she game them and how authentic they look. We can almost imagine we are sitting at a beautiful bistro in Paris!
CRAFTS & CREATIONS
Sarah from Welcome to the Good Life gave us a great tutorial on dying jeans to keep up with the latest trend. We are loving the minty color she created and now we would just like her to also show us how to look that good in them! Winking smile
Shari from Turnstyle Vogue showed us how to make these fantastic PB Knock-Off Rope and Glass Gloches and we think even Jack Sparrow would approve of them!

And while things are being knocked-off, check out this DIY Factory Cart Table inspired by Restoration Hardware and shared with us by Amy at The Blissful Bee! She gives an excellent tutorial on how to make this which only added to how impressed we are by her talent!
RECIPES & PARTIES
We know quite a few kiddos (and adults!) who are going to want this next feature at their birthday party!
How adorable is this Paper Mache Angry Birds Pig? It was shared with us by Molly from Just a Little Creativity and she gives a full tutorial on how to make this yourself!
Margarita Cupcakes? Ummm…yes please!! Joanne from Double Wide in the Sky shared this incredible recipe and we think that it is a match made in heaven for sure!

  35. Hi Vanessa and Heather! I hope y’all have had a great week! Mine has been so busy that I’m really late getting this post written and linked, but I’m so glad to be here. I love to write posts about how I decorate my house, but I also love the fact that this party is not limited just to home decor. I thank you so much for giving me a place to share my story!
