Feeling Bleu...and a Give Away

If you're like me you're over winter and ready to bring some Spring color and decor to your home and table. I've been playing with my dishes, and dreaming of warmer days, green growing things, and creating new vignettes. Are you thinking that you might need some new place settings for Easter? Add to your collection of transfer ware? Or set a pretty tea?

Be Inspired #177

Hey Everyone...
Welcome to Be Inspired!
These weeks are rolling by and it's hard to believe that it's time for another Be Inspired party. You all have not let the winter pounding get you down. It seems that everyone has been busy finishing up some fabulous projects just in time for Spring. Here are some pics of some of that great inspiration from last week's party:

Sometimes a pic comes across that you can just "see" featured in a magazine. This amazing Black Accent Wall from Dawn at Down to Earth Style has it all... Love the gallery wall, the great contrast of elements, and of course that dramatic black paint. I dared Dawn to paint the rest of the room!





This Simmons Steel Dresser definitely has a past.
Check it out from Denise at Pink Postcard.



There were so many great ideas in this post,
but the Slipcovered Ottoman from
Jamie at So Much Better With Age says it all.





Want a Restoration Hardware look?
Try this Dry Brush Painting Technique
from Melanie at Lost and Found



Love this wonderful creation, Finding Direction,
from Lynn at Blue Skies





You'll enjoy seeing this Vintage Dresser
and meeting Victoria and her adorable little ones at
 Trois Petites Filles.



And a tutorial for Ribbon Roses
from Lynn at Shabby Story.
Lynn always creates such beautiful things.



Thanks so much gals, for joining in!
