Simply Saturday

I'm so glad it's Saturday! We have a busy weekend with a birthday party for my younger son but I'm looking forward to having the hubby around so I can call upon his muscles to move some things around.

Here is a small sampling of the things that I really appreciated around blogland this week.

I have a major sweet tooth so this post from Melissa at The Inspired Room really hit the spot for me. Somehow she managed to share beautiful ideas and pictures with us while helping to plan her daughter's wedding. This candy bar from the reception was beautiful to the eye and the mouth.


Jen from Sanctuary Arts at Home is one of my favorite bloggers. Her blog was recently hacked, but she is back up and running. She is talented and inspiring and she does the most amazing things with furniture. I love what she did with this curbside find! You also MUST read her post from Tuesday where she gave instructions for adding molding to a plain door to make a faux paneled door. Brilliant!

Another Jen at The Cottage Nest showed a great before and after on a sweet little cabinet that she found at an estate sale. I love little cabinets like this and her French inspired version is so oo-la-la! Fantastique!

Wendy from The Shabby Nest combined two fantastic things - toile and barn stars - in one fabulous project. I actually squealed with delight when I saw the finished product! If you haven't already, you must take a few moments and browse through some of her old posts. She has a beautiful blog and such great ideas!
