Wow Us Wednesdays # 62

4.18.2012

Welcome welcome, it is that time of week again. Time for you to share what you have been up to in the past week. There are always so many great links, but I can only feature a few. Let's take a look at some from last week.

The cutest colorful and organized craft closet shared by Fancy Frugal Life.

June & Bear shares this wonderful living room transformation. I love that sign.

I would love to hang out on this colorful front porch. Check out this makeover at Coastal Cottage Dreams.

Oh, how I love the colors of this hutch transformation by A Bit of Whimsy.

Wonderful tour of the outside of this beautiful home shared by Simply Organized.

This stunning ceiling was a lot of work. Check out the steps it took at Studio of Decorative Arts.

Pink Postcard shares this gorgeous black and gold chest.

T-shirt transformed into the cutest shrug by Trumatter.

After you look at all those features you may need a piece of chocolate cake. This one looks really good and moist and easy to make shared by CondensedLoveHome.

Thanks to everyone who joined the party last week. If you were featured you can grab a "featured" button from my sidebar.

Today is a special day. My first born came into this world 33 years ago. Not sure how that is possible seeing that I am only 39. a hem cough cough!
Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Now on to the party!!


Party Guidelines:
I hope you will grab my new Wow Us Wednesdays button from my sidebar or
have a visible link in your post to this party so others can find it and join in. If you find your link deleted then just add a visible link or button and try again.
No etsy or advertising links.
Only link up link parties that are sharing a project of your own in that post.
If you are new here I hope you will become a follower. If you already follow through GFC I hope you will follow through Linky Follower, too just in case Google decides to include blogger blogs on not having GFC any more.
Please don't post the same thing you did last week.

Please turn off word verification. It now asks that you copy two words. One was bad enough. It takes too much time to copy that and then get it wrong and have to do it again. I will not leave a comment where that is turned on.

  1. Hi Kim! I sure do love that olive bucket that you scored. I'm cringing to think of how many of those I may have passed over, not realizing how great they would look. Thanks for hosting!

  15. Hi Kim, Love that painted cabinet with the blue interior and looking at that ceiling made "broke neck" memories kick in from my days of decorative painting - we did several similar and it's rough on your neck - we even glued Swarovski crystals all around the design!!! - but how gorgeous they are when they are finished.
    Thanks for hosting.

  26. Happy birthday to your baby boy!

    I still remember, so vividly, when I came face-to-face with my very own baby boy 15 years ago ...

    ... and I know when I get to say 33 years ago the memory will be just as vivid as that day ...

    :)

  50. Kim, I got so excited I forgot to say Happy Birthday to your baby!!!
    I was shouting (my voice is really raspy because of the cold) to my son downstairs, about being featured, lol! He is 17 and the love of my life! I know, how did we get to have GROWN UPS for babies???!!!
    Last year my son actually asked THIS VERY CAKE for his Birthday. I cut into squares and made a "pile" as cute as I could on a cake plate and placed candles in some of the squares!

  58. Hi Kim!

    Wow, thank you so much for featuring our outdoor home tour. I appreciate that SO much! After all of that hard work in the yard/beds, it was so nice to have some credit for it - haha! I know you can relate because you work in your yard as well. :-)

    Just wanted to thank you again and I really enjoy reading your blog and linking up. So, thank you again for hosting this week!

    Happy birthday to your son too! Those birthdays can be tough on us mommies - people always say "enjoy them now because they grow up so quickly". For the longest time (when my boys were toddlers and into everything) I couldn't understand that. It seemed like they would never grow up or the bad phase they were in would never end. But it does - time goes so quickly...and these birthdays make me a little nostalgic for those baby and toddler days all over again. :-)

    Have a great day!

  82. Hi, Kim. I can't believe how many projects are now linked up each week -- congratulation and thank you for hosting! I started following you before you even had your first WUW. I don't have my own blog (due to a full time job, a husband, three teenagers, and three dogs) so I really love blurfing, and yours is one of my favorites. I respect you because you stay true to your style, don't jump on the trends bandwagon, yet still keep your decor fresh. Thanks again!

  86. Hi Kim...Thank you for featuring my ceiling design...and happy day after birthday to Ryan too!

    I put up another project in my home today - my old world range hood. Hope people will love it as much as my ceiling (and it was less taxing on my back!).

    Thank you also for emailing me to tell me to turn off the word verification. I've received so many more comments because of that. So - thanks for that alone!!

    So glad that you are doing these link parties - it really helps people to get to know other bloggers and their work!
