Pssst: There's a fun little metamorphosis at the end of this post...one I captured with my camera phone in a parking lot recently. It made me laugh out loud when I saw it.
Inspirational Before and Afters Linked for Last Week's Met Monday:
Turnstyle Vogue Design and Styling had some great tips for a fab book shelf transformation.
Homey Home Design revealed her kitchen renovation and it's bright and beautiful. Here's the Before. You're going to love the After!
Pondered Primed Perfected's new pantry really packs a punch. It was a pleasure to peruse!
Check out this kitchen renovation at The 2 Seasons. Beautiful transformation! Here's the Before:
Wow, wish I had Betsy's talent for sewing. This chair transformation is truly amazing and she shares all the details on how she did it.
I love a great craft room renovation and this one at The Cottage is pure eye candy! I mean really...doesn't it look like a candy store? Such a happy place to work and play.
With spring just around the corner, check out My Cozy Corner's beautiful backyard transformation. It's guaranteed to give you spring fever.
Another beautifully revamped bookcase was shared by Studio of Decorative Arts.
Carole is renovating an 111 year-old farm house on a tight budget. She has some great money-saving, DIY tips.
Spotted this car outside Big Lots recently and it totally made me laugh! I guess this means it's a "girl" car, huh? Even cars can go through a little metamorphosis from time to time. :)

DeleteI have tried several times to post today, but inlinz tells me I do not have a backlink to your site and I DO. I've removed it and re-typed it and I still get the same message. Is any one else having this problem?
ReplyDeleteLinda @ A Toile Tale
Linda, unfortunately, InLinkz doesn't recognize where you tried to link back since it's not an actual/physical link. Just turn that into a link and it should cooperate for you.
DeleteGreat ideas and inspiration.Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration! Thanks for these highlights and for hosting

ReplyDeleteAgain - thank you so much!!!

Susan,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for featuring The 2 Seasons today. Jordan and I have had so much fun with our blog. Even though we live over 900 miles apart, it keeps us close. I have been a reader of your blog from the beginning, and I feel honored that you selected our blog as one of your picks.
Oh gosh! now I want lashes for my bug. Guess I'd better not if I ever want my husband to ride with me though.
ReplyDeleteI just kept staring at the car wondering what was so funny and then I laughed out loud. Thanks for the laugh today.
ReplyDeleteI really loved your favorite things post. Thanks for that also.
thank you so much for hosting this spectacular party and thank you sooooo much for featuring my little candy craft project!!! (hugs) your blog ROCKS!!!!
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring my kitchen and the before and after of the cabinets. It was a ton of work but it paid off and I love the end results. Thanks again and we love your parties! Have a great day!
Susan, For obvious reasons, I was late linking up. Please look at my post as it has a life and death importance and has a potent message.
ReplyDeleteOf course there is the required before and after message too.,
Susan, I enjoyed your favs and particularly the eyelashes on the auto. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.
Blessings to you, Ginger
Thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the armoire/bookcase rehab you featured... I have one similar to it that I want to paint soon :)
Happy decorating!!!
Susan - The Turnstyle Vogue bookcase entry illustrates what we discussed about painting
ReplyDeletethe interior of shelves in black or an ultra dark color....differences in book sizes just
fade into background giving a uniform appearance and the color is a good foil for
highlighting decorative pieces. How is the library coming along, by the way?
Gentility
I see what you mean. It's a dramatic look...really pretty! Well, I had someone come out a couple of weeks ago to give me an estimate. I have a feeling this year is going to be the year to spend money in the front yard though...need to sod my front yard and re-landscape the front of the house. So, sadly, the library may have to wait a bit longer. One day...
DeleteWow this is an incredible blog and I'm so glad I discovered it! I love that craft corner, I did think it looks like candies! I wish I could link up by I don't think I have a metamorphasis post! Oh well!
