Crazy for Color Fabulous Features

August 7, 2012  Uncategorized

From crafts to furniture to vintage makeovers to entire rooms …

everyone hit it out of the park and over the rainbow with all things colorful at our Crazy for Color link party!

Features were tough to pick (like my kids, I love them all!) but here goes …

 

Vintage

A Night Owl shares my love of globes but she took hers to another level with paint and Washi tape.

These painted oars as art from Lisa Goulet Designs really rock my boat.

This vintage swimsuit was framed against a colorful background by Savvy Southern Living.  The rest of her colorful guest room is equally fabulous.


Furniture

Bambie, Thumper and Flower love this reverse painted woodland dresser from Dear Emmeline.

This drip and drag painted table from Lake Girl Paints is amazing.

I love the little paint drip detail on the legs of this Craigslist end table makeover by Drab to Fab.

Crafts

With a Dash of Color had me at map – then she turned it into a planter!

This yarned lampshade from Creatively Living is creative indeed.

How cool is this lampshade made from zip straps from Sheila Zeller Interiors!

Art

Happily Home After took a picture, did a little photo editing to get this one of a kind statement piece of art.

Old doors turned nautical signal flags by Leone Designs.

See how 20 State created this knife art.

Rooms

A Vintage Fairy knocked off my socks with “barn wood” wall made from shims.

I love everything about Unskinny Boppy‘s colorful laundry room but especially her Smurf glass collection!

Nellie Bellie is rocking a colorful mix of vintage and new on her patio.

Mom 4 Real decked out her breakfast nook with beautiful blue – love that shutter!

I am in love with the use of color in Scribbler Unfocused‘s living room.
Head on over to my four fabulous Colorful Co-Hosts to see who they’ve featured.

    I absolutely love your colorful living room. I have a friend that decorates in shabby chic, using mostly whites. She fusses at me for being so colorful. I am happiest when surrounded by color. You living room makes me happy!
