Wow Us Wednesdays #77

8.01.2012

Another week has flown by and how can it be a new month starting already? I even saw on our local news yesterday that some schools started back yesterday. They are starting back earlier and earlier. I remember not going back until after Labor Day.

Anywho, lots of great links last week. Here are just a few.

Wonderful dining room reveal shared by City Farmhouse. 

Brandi shares an inspiring story from a reader who surprised his wife with a master bed and bath makeover while she was out of town. What a sweet man.

A wonderful laundry room/powder room reveal is shared by Recaptured Charm. You must see the powder room, too.

Just look at that cute pose, but the chair is the star. Check out how this chair fabric was painted at 

What looks like an intricately inlaid table was actually created with a stencil! Check it out at Domestic Imperfection.

Great transformation by The Golden Sycamore.

You must check out how this wall was transformed with a barn wood look by A Vintage Fairy.

Echoes of Laughter shares a scrumptious salmon cakes recipe.

This watermelon slushy sounds so refreshing for a hot summer day. Our watermelons will be picked soon so maybe I will whip up some of these. Find the recipe at Cranky Puppy Farm.

Thanks to all who joined and linked back last week. If you were featured you can grab a "featured" button from my sidebar.

Now show us your "wows" for thist week.

    Kim something crazy is going on with the link. It keeps saying that my post does not have a link back but it does. I made sure like 6 times. Guessing it is an issue since there aren't any entires yet.

    All of the posts that you featured are just amazing. I'm so glad that you do that for us each week 'cause I always miss seeing some of the posts. Thanks so very much for hosting. I remember not starting back to school till after Labor Day too. Even though I don't have school aged children any more myself, it seems to chop off part of summer for school to start so early.

    Hi Kim,
    As usual, there is more creativity going on here than I can barely handle! That "inlaid" table? Amamzing. I could spend the entire day reviewing all of the posts!

    And Jim, the slip cover guy?! I wish he had a brother doing the same thing here, in California. I have heard of the concept before and it makes so much sense! It's going to be beautiful too! Love the fabric!
