Time Travel Thursday #87 & Talented Time Travelers #86

"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories.

Some take us forward, they're called dreams."

Welcome to the 87th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories, grandest dreams,

and most creative projects? Great!

Want to take a peek at some of our

talented time travelers from last week first?

I thought you might!   ; )

Armed with a handful of fabulous flea-market finds,

Lori @ All Things Chic 2 set out to give her bathroom a bit of sweet shabby style.

Mission accomplished, Lori!

Here's another gorgeous bathroom transformation

by Andrea @ Queen B and me.

To appreciate just how marvelous this makeover really is, you must

visit Andrea and see the "before" pics...

if you dare!

When I spotted this pretty pic—with all its festive colors—

I was reminded of a New Year's celebration

 from just a few months ago.

This cheerful teacup vignette was lovingly assembled by

Anne @ A Little Fur in the Paint.

Have you ever walked away to contemplate the purchase of a 

diamond in the rough...

only to return and find it SOLD?

Such was the case for this lovely vanity transformed by Diddie @ citicasita.

 

Of course, as you can see,

the story ended on a happy note.

This is such a cute bedroom makeover by kcandcoley @ Blessings and Bling.

Though the residents of this sweet suite are boys...

no doubt, girls would be thrilled to sleep on suspended beds, as well.

Now...

are you ready to dazzle us with your creative endeavors this week?

Time Travel Thursday #86 & Talented Time Travelers #85

"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories.

Some take us forward, they're called dreams."

Welcome to the 86th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories, grandest dreams,
and most creative projects? Great!

But it just wouldn't be right if we didn't have at least a little fanfare for some
of our talented time travelers from last week's party, so...

Green is one of my very favorite colors. 

And by now, you're keenly aware of my fondness of antique and vintage items.

Needless to say...

when I spotted this fantastic antique dresser—masterfully transformed by the

painterly touch of Shari @ turnstyle vogue DESIGN & STYLING—

my heart went pitter-patter.   ; )

If it were not for the telltale signs—the fire extinguisher and the exit sign

over the exterior door—you would most likely never guess that this cheery space

 is actually the residence of a senior in an assisted living center.

In the words of Linda @ Beautiful Ideas, "The room ‘BEFORE’ was institutional,

bleak, impersonal and, admittedly, depressing…"  But once Linda applied

her loving touch to the space, it became a place of

comfort and homeyness for her mom.

Black is another color that I love to see used in

decorating schemes.

It can be bold and modern or serenely sophisticated...

as demonstrated by Jennifer @ DECORATING IDEAS Made Easy.

In many décors—including my own—it is even considered a neutral.

That makes it a favorite among decorators.

Now what creative ideas will you tempt us with this week?
