Hi Everyone and Welcome to Be Inspired!

I know everyone is excited to see some warmer weather coming in. Outdoor planting and projects still may be a little ways out, but we can have fun bringing in a Breath of Fresh Spring Air with our tables, mantels and vignettes. There were so many wonderful Spring inspired posts last week; here are a few to definitely get you out of the winter frame of mind.

Babs from Upstairs Downstairs

gave us Not the Easter Bunny in this wonderful Spring tablescape.

Cindy at Beaux R'eves was busy painting her bedroom, when she decided to also transform this small dresser into a Country French Painted Chest.

I love this New Potting Table for the Greenhouse

from Penny's Vintage Home
(in Penny's new Greenhouse)

This Peter Rabbit Inspired Party is such a creative idea

 for a Spring Birthday, from So Much Better With Age

Painting Pine Floors and some graceful moves from

Suzan at Simply Vintageous.

Denise from Pink Postcard

gave us a great DIY tutorial on aging inexpensive new statuary.

Thinking Spring on the Sideboard

Hi Everyone, and welcome to
  Be Inspired!
If you can see the ground through the snow then please join me in a loud
"whoo hoo"!!!
If March is here then Spring has to come...eventually.

Thanks for all the BirthDay wishes, I've always loved having a March Birthday because it's starting to green up and signs of Spring are all around...but not this year. Dressing like an Eskimo isn't a lot of fun. I'll be hitting the mall to celebrate when I don't have to wear layers and layers of clothes.

Here are some great links from last week. Each time I see Anita's wonderful Dining Room, I sigh. It has such an Old World quality to it. Love those antlers above the sideboard.

Collecting Creamware

from Anita at Far Above Rubies

Pamela From My Front Porch to Yours found a wonderful mirror,
but it needed a new finish. Check out the post,

Updated Fireplace Mirror

If you haven't enjoyed the current Simply Shabbilicious Magazine

from Kerryanne at Shabby Art Boutique,
 then head over for some beautiful inspiration!

Sherry from No Minimalist Here shares another amazing way
 to use a transfer with her DIY and tutorial Cheese Slab.

A breathtaking Garden Angel is now adorning the pergola Garden,

from Betty at My Cozy Corner.

This was a new one on me. Did you know that there's a product that turns ANYthing into a chalkboard surface? Check out D.D.'s Cottage and Design Chalkboard Breadboard. pretty cool.

And if you're needing a breath of fresh Spring Air then take a look at the Simple Spring Wreath from Christy at Confessions of a Serial DIYer.

thanks so much gals!

Hey you all...

Welcome to Be Inspired!

I'm in the "transition mode" here, living in a lease house, so finding inspiration is sometimes a real job. Each week I look forward to seeing what you all are doing out there, so I'm filing away ideas and soaking up all the creativity you bring over here each week. Thank you for making Be Inspired such a fun party, you always show up with the goods! Here are some great posts from last week's party:
