Wow Us Wednesdays #66

5.17.2012

Welcome to Wow us Wednesdays! We had a lot of great links again last week. Here are just a smidgen of them that I picked out to feature.

Worthing Court shared this playroom that her granddaughters play in when she babysits them. So cute!

Here is another cute idea for a space for the kids. Unused wall space turned into kids craft area by Our Fifth House.

Can you believe this ottoman has been painted. I'm not talking about the legs. The fabric has been painted. Bold move by Oak Ridge Revival.

Sandy at Copper n Things found this wonderful old mantel for only $35 and created this beautiful spot outside.

I love flavored teas in the summer. Sherry shared how to make this blackberry tea. Find the recipe at The Charm of Home.

Cookin Up Good Times shares a strawberry chipotle  jam recipe.

Rose Petals and Rust shares her dynamic Cecil Brunner roses. I wish I could grow those here.

This beautiful outdoor rug was hand painted with a homemade pattern by Serendipity.

Love the French Linen and Old White chalk paints together on this desk by Whimsical Perspective.

Thank you to all of you who joined last week and linked back to the party.

    Kim,

    Love those playroom ideas. I'm in that grown up "tween" stage of life where my kids don't need a playroom .... and yet I'm still a few years off from being a grandma.

    So I'll pin from their blogs and keep in mind for when I'm hosting the babies ...

    :)

    Hi Kim, I'm loving your party. I love that you featured the painted fabric. That technique seems to be popping up a lot lately and it fascinates me, but since I sew, I'm not that tempted to try it. I linked up my homemade roller shades, but next week, I'll have my slip-covered French settee post to link up, so I'll be back.
