Happy Sunday y’all.  Together with my buddy Amanda, we bring you another round of BOTB with a few of our favorite picks from across blog land this week.

Love fabric and color?  Who says you have to choose just one when making over chairs like these by Rush Artist (via All Things Thrifty).

  3. Love the bunny tail project. I am going to make this for my daughter’s pre-school class.

  4. I love Beach Brights’ kitchen. She did such a good job with it! Did you mean to link to a specific post about it, though? It took me to her homepage and there’s no mention of the kitchen there.

    I’m also loving those colorful chairs. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

  5. LOVING the pics this week! Those colorful chairs are amazing! The West Elm headboard knock-off is one of my faves! Those nightstands are purely glam! The kitchen is screaming… Come cook in me! And that full room closet is to-die-for!

    Thanks for sharing ALL of the amazing inspiration!!!

  6. Thanks for the shout out Kate! The tables in your post are actually Rebeca’s and mine are the darker ones shown. Honored to be mentioned on your amazing blog!

  7. Wow, I’m tickled pink to be included in your BOTB this week with these other great projects. Mine is so utilitarian, nothing pretty. But hey, useful is useful. LOL Going to check out some of these other projects for more ideas that I don’t need to add to my list but inevitably will…because I just can’t help it when I see something awesome! :-) Sandra

  9. Thanks so much for featuring my chairs! I am so honored to be included among so many fantastic projects. I think I need t go paint some nightstands right now. I love your blog. You taught me to have the courage to paint my laminate. :-) A step that is changing the look of our house. So thankful for the shout out!

  10. Thanks for sharing my chairs! I was just checking in for my “Kate fix” and saw them… so, so sweet of you to share them :)

    After seeing the multi colored ones now I’m double thinking the white – those look fabulous!

  11. What a fun feature! Thanks Kate & Amanda! I love seeing these all in one place. I’ve seen a few of these fabulous projects but there’s a few I’ve missed and/or didn’t know about! So pretty!
