Hey there, thanks so much for linking up to the Paint Projects Party earlier this week, here are a few highlights I wanted to share!

Check out this media wall built by Yellow Brick Home, absolutely fantastic Kim & Scott!

How lovely is this painted stair runner by Anna at Take the Side Street?  Consider me inspired!

Nothing like a fresh coat of white paint to refresh an older piece like this china cabinet by Natty by Design

Hello gorgeous, how about this painted zebra lampshade by Bon Temps Beignet?  Fantastic!

I love this French style buffet by Julie at Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss and the accompanying ‘if you give a girl a buffet’ poem, reminiscent of the popular children’s books by Laura Numeroff.

How pretty is this dining room set repainted by B.E. Interiors?

I love spray painted branches like these by Behind Closed Drawers, they are a simple way to have big impact, and they work for all seasons.

Speaking of spray paint, Lynda of Focal Point gave her outdoor patio set a new look with some spray paint, and a few other small splurges.

This bright and cheerful playroom by Emily at Remodeling this Life is a space any child would love!

You really can paint leather?  Will wonders never cease.  Check out Karen’s ottoman at Shabby Sweet Cottage.

Finally, I’m dying to try this idea, using screen print ink and tape to create beautiful patterns on fabric.  Check out Cyndy’s fabulous screen print fabric pillows

  5. Thanks for the shout-out! I got a lot of great ideas from this link party. Can’t wait to try some of them in my own home.

  6. love the champs elysee and all the dresses at shabby apple! so hard to decide!

  7. Love the crate chest! I’ve been looking for old crates for my home, but they’re so difficult to find on the cheap – once they’ve made it into trendy vintage furniture stores, the prices are already jacked up beyond the standards of centsational girls everywhere! Great feature!
