Motivated Monday March 19th

Much to my dismay Google is retiring Google Friend Connect, which means that after March 1, 2012 BeColorful will no longer support the Google Friend Connect community that we’ve developed.  

I will miss your nearly 600 faces in my side bar!

If you would like to continue following BeColorful through google this is my new BeColorful Google+ page . 

I'm not sure how it all works yet so bear with me if this is your link of choice.

If you would prefer you can still stay up to date with the latest BeColorful posts by subscribing via

If this is how you have already been following then you don't need to do anything differently.

Regardless of how you follow BeColorful, I am always flattered when some one finds something here relevant enough to them that they want to return for more.

For that I want to give you a a big shout out.

Thank you.

If my posts did not show up this week here is what you missed...

Hello Spring {again}

My nod to Spring on our front door.

...And now on to the link event that is Motivated Monday

This was a week of projects that are near and dear to my heart.

For starters, look at these wonderfully colorful painted pieces like this red low boy via

 A Girl and a Brush

Isn't she gorgeous?

Then there was this jaw dropper delight from

 Chantilly Charm

 

 I'm in love!

Another colorful creation came our way from The Boonie Life. Totally smitten. This is just a teaser photo. Be sure and stop by her blog to see this beauty in all of it's emerald glory.

It wasn't all painted pieces though. There were some great craft ideas too, like these

This grain sack lamp was another head turner from

 Generation to Generation

So very Pottery Barn looking.

Falling Down House

has a solution for remembering whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty. Want to know what it is? Click here. 

 This seems to be a universal issue. We may all be doing our own take on this idea.

For a bit of design motivation you will want to visit

Betsy Speert's Blog

and take in her Tropical dining space and spirited writing style.

 

Finally, if you are serial renovators like Mike and I then you will appreciate this post from

Pretty Old Houses

This post is an interview with a serial renovator that  will have you bonding with a fellow re-modeler and nodding your head in approval. 

Crazy, but I was so inspired that I started getting those stirrings that maybe we are ready for another major project.

... it's a sickness. :D but seriously, doesn't that pretty house pic make you want to go create, paint, build or update something?

No? maybe we are a rare breed.
