Be Inspired Features and Link Party #101

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back for features and party day!


In addition to today's features, there were a ton of really wonderful Top 10 posts at the party last week. If you have a chance, I suggest you go back and take a look!
Meet Bernadette from White Cottage Boutique. She is just stunning in navy blue!


Over the weekend, Megan and I were talking about how maybe navy blue could have been (should have been) the Pantone color of the year.  Upcycled Treasures shared a post filled with lovely images using radiant orchid. Not sure it really works in my house, but if a big vase of lilacs qualify, then count me in!


Deb from Twice Nice used the frosty weather as inspiration for the beautiful vintage chest on chest dresser with a hand-painted detail!


Gail from My Repurposed Life just might be the queen of turning headboards into benches. This time around, she shared a wonderful tutorial for making a corner headboard bench!


I love the simplicity of this DIY sofa table from Urbane Jane!


Jamie from Anderson & Grant beautifully transformed thrift store glass vases into candlesticks with a little paint and sandpaper. Don't you love when a simple idea knocks your socks off?


Debbie from Painted Therapy shared her method of painting hardware. Sometimes a girl has to get creative!

Aren't they gorgeous?

I agree Sharon, navy blue is popping up all over the place. Sometimes the color "setters" aren't the ones in the know. LOL

Hope your week is filled with the Extraordinary!

I agree about the navy blue also... not sure I'm wild about the orchid. :)

LOVE the painting hardware tip.

That radiant orchid sure demands attention, doesn't it? I agree with you, I think navy blue is going to be really big this year. Great features this week, Sharon!

I agree on the Navy. I don't think the violet color would work in too many people's homes, but those lilacs are gorgeous, I can almost smell them!

Great party, Sharon. I love the navy. I had navy and rose back in the 80's when everyone had mauve and country blue. lol 'course I had that, too, later.

I saw a whole huge lavender display today. I do have a guest room with lavender accents-lilac colored ones-that I love but I don't think I would want a whole house of it. I do think it blends beautifully with grey though- xo Diana

Thanks for hosting, Sharon! :) I've always loved navy blue- that is a great color, and inspires me to get going on a dresser I've had waiting in the wings.

Thanks for hosting the linkup this week! Those lilacs are beautiful! I'm looking (and posted about) into re-designing my bedroom and a color palette of grey, lavender and white is one of the ideas I had. Thanks for sharing!

Following you on facebook!
