Simply Beautiful Late Summer Style at TFT

Summer decorating and home decor ideas by top bloggers

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am so happy to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and a wonderful group of blogging friends as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too! If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and be inspired each week, this is the place to be. *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave me a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! (If you missed last week’s party you can find it here.???? To get the party started, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:

 

Vintage French Farmhouse Style Basket Makeover (Easy DIY Gray Wash Paint Tutorial)

On Tuesday I shared how I completely transformed an outdated basket into a “vintage” French farmhouse style basket using a gray wash technique I came up with. It was so easy, and I love how it turned out!

I also created a little vignette using the “new” basket and a sneak peek of a few vintage treasures that I found over the summer. I will be sharing more about them in an upcoming post.

 

Allergy-Friendly recipes, cooking tips, gluten free, vegan refined sugar free recipes for fall

For this week’s Pin Away Wednesday’s post I shared highlights from my Allergy-Friendly Cooking and Recipes Pinterest board, focusing on fall recipes. Now is the time to start gathering ideas for your healthy and delicious fall menu!

 

 

On Friday I shared my late summer French Farmhouse Lemons and Sunflowers Tablescape for the Late Summer Tablescapes Blog Hop hosted by Chloe of Celebrate and Decorate. The inspiration came from the pretty lemon dishes I found at Dollar Tree back in late spring. Pairing the lemons with sunflowers made the table seem perfect for August. I would love for you to check it out after linking up today if you haven’t already. You will also find links to 24 other beautiful late summer tablescapes to inspire.

 

Last Monday my friend Debra from Common Ground and I kicked off our new Monday link party, All About Home! We had a good turnout for the first week and we know that it will continue to grow as we approach fall. Thank you to everyone who came over and linked up or checked out the links for our “grand opening!”

The All About Home party focuses on home decor, vintage style, gardening, home makeovers, diy’s and crafts. You can always continue to find tons of inspiration by bloggers in a wider variety of categories here at TFT. Since the parties are different, I am thrilled to co-host each one which allows me to interact throughout the week with many different niche bloggers and readers. I am truly grateful for all of you! Thank you for partying with me here at Follow The Yellow Brick Home!

 

Now it’s time for some beautiful features from last week’s TFT party!

    Gorgeous features, Amber, and that pantry to mud room story stopped me in my tracks since plans are underway for my pathetic “laundry/mud area.” Thanks so much for hosting! I am sharing my late summer kitchen (#197) and bedroom (#198) and hope these glimpses help others in their scheming and dreaming. Bon weekend, lovely. xox
