Be Inspired #186

Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a wonderful Easter Weekend! Ours was warm and sunny, perfect day for enjoying family and friends. There were so many great Easter and Spring posts last week, full of color and inspiration. These are just a few highlights...

I've never met a lamby face that I haven't fallen in love with.
How can you resist? See all the wonderful images and this Lamb Pastel 
from Violet Skiles at Create Beauty.

Trois Petites Filles has been this week's obsession.
If you haven't yet, you'll want to see Victoria's French Bed
and how she created this ethereal look.

I did a double take to make sure I was actually seeing
Hydrangea Bunnies, from Mary at Home is Where the Boat Is

Barbara from 21 Rosemary Lane has created a fun and fresh

space with her Spring on the Front Porch.

Look at these wonderful colors of Easter Eye Candy.

Teacups from Sherry at The Charm of Home

Take a "Peep" at the Easter Carrot Cake

from Catherine at Living the Gourmet

A big THANK YOU to those of you

 who took the time to join in for the Celebration last week!

Hi Everyone, and Welcome to Be Inspired!

If you had a few minutes to go through some of the links from last week, you'll know that it was over-the-top full of Spring Inspiration. Amazing how some warm weather and a few flowers can re-energize us and get us planning gardens, doing furniture makeovers, and generally waking up our spaces and spirits with excitement. 

I'm a person that cannot pass up a cupboard full of white ironstone, so take a peek at some Farmhouse Touches from Thoughts from Alice. Then check out the other features this week...

Jacqueline styles a Vintage Basket and transferware for Easter

at the always lovely Cabin and Cottage.

Cristina from Remodelando la Casa comes up with the best holiday craft decor. She's one super talented and imaginative gal. So be sure and see her Easter Egg Tree and meet all the bunnies, chicks and ducks that are hanging out having some wonderful Springtime Fun.

Also I had to share these Fabric Painted Chairs she finished.

Wow, what a transformation!

Patti shows how to makeover a ho-hum decor basket
 into a Mossy Basket for Spring, at Old Things New.

A post to celebrate Daffodils

at Simply Suzanne's at Home.

Jann from Mrs. Olson's adds a new Sheep friend

 to join in on the vignette at the top of her cupboard.

and...

I've tried making a bedskirt before and I wish I'd thought of this...

No Sew Bedskirt from Patty at Creative Ideas.

thanks gals for all the ideas and inspiration!

Hi Everyone, so glad you're here! It's time to put on your Spring party hats and link up all that you've been up to last week.

So share your posts and then stay to check out some of the rest of the ideas and inspiration. Here are some great links from last week:

 Blue and White from around her home.

Always amazing what white paint can do!
