214th Inspire Me Tuesday & Giveaway

Welcome to the 214th Inspire Me Tuesday.  Spring is finally here all over the country and it looks like everyone is super busy fluffing and sprucing inside and out.

It is definitely starting to be Patio weather for everyone and Back Porch Musings has such a beautiful space.  Love her seating area and her lush garden.  How gorgeous is that tree.



Creatively Living shared the final pictures of her entry makeover.  There is so much to see, but this picture just amazes me at how different a before and after can be.  Her entry is totally stunning now, so go see everything, her stenciled wall, chest, mirror and such lovely accessories.

I love the fireplace makeover Cottage Instincts did.  New paint, drapes and creative accessories totally change the whole room.

Don't you just adore this porch.  Lace on the swing and aprons on the wall.  I love how Creative Country Mom's Garden uses her thrifty finds.


You really need to see all of this fabulous bedroom makeover that Rosemary and Thyme shared.  Love how elegant and romantic.   Don't miss a single detail.

With all the berries in season now, I drool every time I'm at the grocery story.  These looked so good that I thought I should share.  Fabulous tarts from Hello Little Home.


Now For The Giveaway
French Cow Grain Sack
We had so much fun with my last Grain Sack Giveaway that I thought we would do another.
  I think this would be so much fun to make into a pillow, a wall hanging, bulletin board or any number of things.  Love the cow.

Contest will end 5/11 and winner will be announced on 5/12.  Good luck

a Rafflecopter giveaway

    Oh Marty, looking at the gorgeous back yards and front porches makes me yearn for warm weather and budding trees and flowers. We had snow only a few days ago but I think I spotted some buds on one of our trees at long last. Thanks for hosting and have a great week enjoying a warmer climate than what I have here :)
