  1. Hi Kate and Abi-

    Thanks for the feature. Not going to be able to enjoy them this weekend. Irene has forced me to stow them safely away in my garage. Loving the bar cart – so chic and versatile.

    Hope you both have an enjoyable Sunday.

    My best- Diane

  2. Love people with DIY prowess! I think the hutch transformation is wonderful. I especially love using wallpaper on the back of hutches, bookcases, armoires.

  3. I love that inherited piece that is painted blue! I would never have imagined that could look so cute!

  4. Great features! Love the Hutch re-do and the pendant light too! Thanks so much for the shout out for My Favorite Hate Mail! We have a lot of fun writing it and love when people send in their comments. :)

  5. That wainscoting is over the moon! I’m looking around my living room and imagining….

  6. I LOVE the wainscoting you featured from Soul Style. I have been searching all over the internet for something like this for MONTHS after seeing a similar wainscot featured on Martha Stewart. I hopped right on over to the Soul Style blog and then right on over to her wainscot resource web site. I’m gonna have to get me some! Thanks!!
