Thank you so much for coming by to party with us again this week. I have to tell you that I was completely blown away by all of the incredible talent linked up to 
Share Your Style #2.

It was a tough job picking out my faves, but since I had to narrow it down to just a few here are the links which really caught my eye!

Home is Where the Boat Is  shared this darling potting shed which is being featured in the current issue of Flea Market Gardens Magazine. 

Oh how I long for a potting shed to play around in, and this is the shed I'd certainly love to have! 

Next up is an incredible china hutch transformation by Kris of Junk Chic Cottage. It is literally jaw "droppingly" gorgeous! You simply must stop by to see what this cabinet looked like before Kris performed on it her own special magic!

And who doesn't love incredible flea market finds? This stunning flea market vanity makeover is by D.D.'s Cottage and Design. I adore the soft aqua color with the pretty gold gilding, and she really knocked it out of the park by paring it with a beautiful gold framed mirror and those fabulous pink tulips!

I have always been a huge fan of any recipe which includes shrimp, so when I came across this spicy twist on shrimp scampi by Jas of the blog All That Jas, I totally flipped! 

Have you ever tried to define your own personal design style in a word or two? Well Heather from the blog Southern State of Mind has and her style is what she likes to call Preppy Eclectic! Stop by Heather's blog to find out just what Preppy Eclectic is, I think you will like both her definition and her style!

And those are my features for this week. I sure hope I did OK choosing ones you will enjoy checking out! 

If your style was featured, please make sure to take along our little party gift before you go.

A Pair of Cane Back Chairs

Hi there friends...

While out antiquing a few weeks ago I came across a pair of these pretty cane back chairs. 

 I LOVE any chairs that have either cane or rush on them...and when the owner of the shop said he would give them both to me for $50 I said SOLD!

~~~

Of course they got a makeover...

Here's the before...they were in great condition but when I bought them I knew I was going to use them in my kitchen as the head chairs so I painted them AS Versailles to match the other chairs in there.

Cute fabric...I just didn't like the way it went in my kitchen.

I always love seeing a before and after side by side...

I'm having a new valance made for the window over my kitchen sink and this tiny check fabric is one of the fabrics that will be used...so I tried a piece out on the chair cushions.

Once I'm done making the changes in my kitchen and family room...I'll show you how the chairs look in there. 
~~~
I love having head chairs that don't match the rest...how about you?

A Tole Container & New/Old Bench

 Hi there friends...

I think I need an intervention of some sort because I can't seem to stay away from the flea market or antique stores!!

I've been on a good luck streak every time I go...and everything that's come home with me I've gotten amazing deals on so I couldn't pass them up!

~~~

Take for instance this large tole container...it was originally marked $100 and the owner of the space had it marked down to $30 because it was sitting there so long...

I got it for $25...(insert happy dance)!!

 I filled it with dried hydrangeas that I had in my storage room for over two years and they still look great!

 ~~~

 Next up was a freebie thanks to my mom...she brought this little beauty home for me...thanks mom I love it!!

Isn't this little bench so sweet...

I moved it in a few different spots but I love the way it looks tucked under my sofa table. 

   That's all for today...gotta go and finish up a painting project that I started!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Don't forget to link your new finds or projects up that show your style at "Show Your Style" here
