Blogs I Enjoyed During My Bout with Cabin Fever


My kids have been out of school for a full week due to snow and ice. And we live in central Georgia.  Amazing!


Instead of completing a long list of projects or painting a masterpiece, I have been doing a lot of dishes and a ton of laundry.  I've also baked way too many cookies/brownies/muffins. (it keeps "them" quiet - happy.)

And I've been reading blogs.
Lots of blogs.


Here are a few of the blog posts I enjoyed this week.
 

I enjoyed Holly's post about her HGTV shoot....


So nice to see a bed in the middle of her dining room next to a portable sewing machine.  (She is apparently a real person, not just an amazing designer.)


An informative post I saw this week was by Kate at Centsational Girl, entitled Ten Lessons Learned from Building a Kitchen.  




I have been planning to renovate my kitchen for a mere 10 years. Kate has a few key ideas that I need to keep handy if my money tree ever grows out back.

Speaking of kitchen redesign (since it is stuck in my brain), here is a great before and after I made my husband read......

Cote de Texas


I also ran across these great-looking slipcovers at Check It Off (via Pink and Polka Dot).




Surely those cute things will make me pull out my sewing machine !


As should these cute pillows....




And only Janell could paint furniture this neatly....



I will pretend not to be shocked that someone can paint a bureau with all items placed at 90°
angles while not splashing paint on the floor and wall.  I am a very neat 90° painter, too, after all. 

In addition,
my heart breaks for Edie .
I appreciate Emily's beautiful writing ability as she helps me conquer my fear. 
And, Jamie is trying to help me get a little more disciplined.

Have a nice weekend (and fingers crossed that these kids will get back to school by Tuesday!).








Weekend Bloggy Reading

ooo--Awesome links here!!! I am such a messy painter. I'd need to have a hazmat suit or something on to paint like Janell did. ;) Thank you for linking up with my Weekend Bloggy Reading party. :)
Thank you for all of these links to lovely blogs.

Fun links! I haven't visited Holly's blog for a while and didn't know about her HGTV shoot, I'll have to check that out. Hope life is back to normal for you next week!

Great posts you found! I have caught up on my blog reading this week as well (though we weren't out of school as long as GA). I found you via Amanada's Weekend Bloggy Reading party and can't wait to read more. Hope you will come visit me at Southern Somedays!
I see a couple of blogs I am not familiar with. Thanks for the introduction.
