Transformed Tuesday Link Party #21 & Features

PJH Designs

 



 Hello all my friends out in Cyberland! I hope you are having a great week and have avoided the dreaded flu bug! Yuck! :-(

We woke up to some sleet and a little snow here in east Texas, so my grandson and I are staying in today out of the weather. He is three months now and I've been reminded what a massive endeavor it is to go ANYWHERE with a baby. God bless all you Moms with little ones out there! I feel you!

So, let's get on to our features this week, but before I get started I would like to explain a little about link parties, for those who are new at linking up.

First, just so you know (unless your lucky like my friend that has her own blog and won a years worth of link parties) it cost money to run a link party.

Second, it takes a lot of work out of your week to set it up, visit people that have taken time to link up (and I appreciate all of you who have been so faithful) and just do little things to promote the party so everyone will get a few visitors.

Third, the main purpose of the party is to get people to visit the hostess's blog, your blog, and to get people to visit the other post that are listed in the party. So, in a perfect world everyone wins. :-)  

That is why we ask that you put the link for our parties on the same page as the post to get people back to the party from your blog. If you put the back link on another page it would be very rare for someone to find it.

Fourth, you should thank the host or hostess for hosting the party and visit at least one other blogger to share the love. 

I hope that clears things up for those of you that aren't familiar with how it works. Now on to our features this week.

I'm so proud that although we did not have as many entries this week we had a record number of hits and everyone received several visits! For a small party that is great! Thanks everyone!


Your favorite post this week was Penny's Treasures's tips for decorating on the cheap. You really found some great deals and some lovely ones too Penny! Thanks for sharing.



Lulu's Musing shared her bright and cheery bedroom makeover. I love the little distressed tables Lulu and aren't those little chairs adorable?!



Biljana at Biljana Shabby shared her silver teapot makeover.  A family heirloom. So pretty Biljana. Thanks for sharing. :-)


Shannon at Sewing Barefoot shared her tutorial on making this cute crochet hook holder. I definitely need one of these.

 Happy New Year everyone! I'm starting this party a little later than usual so y'all could all enjoy your Holiday.

I shared your favorite top ten post for 2012 the other day and the top one was...(drum roll please!)  DIY Butcher Block Style Counter-tops! Click here for the full post and to see the other nine.



Now on to our features from the last party! Three of these are ideas for Christmas decor that you can use for this year.  



Suzy from Simply Vintageous shared her makeover of a great dresser, but the story definitely tops the furniture redo.
Thanks Suzy I needed a good laugh. 


Penny kindly gave us a tour of her gorgeous home all decorated for Christmas.



At It's All Connected Maureen shared her decorated country lamp shade. So cute Maureen.




Jeannie at French Hen's Nest shared how she gets into a frenzy, like most of us do, at all the options we have when decorating for the Holidays.

Your Favorite Posts of 2012

 
I can't believe this year is over already! It went by so fast!

I wanted to take time to share with you my top 10 post for 2012.  I think you may be surprised to find that most of them were on my kitchen remodel and not my furniture. :-)

So here we go. The most viewed post was my tutorial on how to make your own butcher block, style, counter-tops out of oak flooring. They are finished out with a thick, polyurethane coating.  I love them and after several months they still look great!


You may click any of the pictures to go to the full post.


The second most viewed post was a furniture redo. My tutorial on transferring an image onto a small foyer table with a product called "TAP".




Third was my tutorial on painting your stock, kitchen cabinets to look vintage using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and a dry brushing technique. I use this technique on my furniture all the time.




The fourth most popular was my glass-tile back-splash on a budget.



Next I shared how to upgrade your stock, kitchen cabinets by closing in the bottom and adding molding.


Sixth was the kitchen REVEAL!


Seventh was a re-purpose of a vintage bed to a porch or garden bench.



Number eight was my birds and roses dresser. I share how to use lace to paint a stencil.



Ninth was a tutorial on removing a popcorn ceiling. Folks there is no way to do this neatly. lol


My tenth most popular post was when I shared images of what I dreamed my kitchen could be. 


I'm so glad for each and every one of my new "friends" this year and for all of you that have been with me since the beginning. Thank you for joining me and I hope I have been able to educate, inspire, and encourage you with every post.

Have a wonderful 2013!

Hugs,

Free Graphics Wednesday #39



   

Wow! Are you recovered yet? I've been taking it pretty easy all day. Although I did get out and slap some paint on a chifferobe I'm working on. :-)  I'll be sharing soon.

I know we are all tired so I'll get right to business. Here are your free images.

I'm sharing graphics for you to use in your Valentine's projects today.




First up we have a Dicken's style card. This little fellow has a prop on the back so you can stand him up.




Love the beautiful handwriting of this vintage French post card.



One of my favorite cards this one has such a devoted vintage couple. He looks like he just adores her.




Two lovely cherubs.


Without cherubs.


Cherubs only. :-)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful New Year!
