Friday Favorites: Better Late Than Never

Welcome to this week's edition of Friday Favorites.  

Granted, it is Sunday, but between some family stuff and showing our house, I have had a bit on my plate.  

Hopefully you will think it was worth the wait.  

Added bonus: you can click on the photos for the links now!

Apple Cheddar Scones--true taste of fall and worth the effort.

If you have not seen the latest issue of Lonny Magazine (a free, online shelter magazine) you need to take a moment and click here. 

 They featured this room with personalized wallpaper from HP...yep, the printing company.  

If you think you have what it takes to create the perfect wall covering for your space

Now that school is in full swing I try to connect with Jack every day about his experience in the classroom.  You know the drill: sometimes you get a real answer and other times nothing.  Reality Check had a great post about Getting Kids to Open Up About Their Day.

Finally, check out how Rene (whom I love) transformed her living room without spending a dime.  And for a teaser--those drapes are painted.  PAINTED!  

What is your weekend favorite?

Thanks so much for your patience with me while I was "out of the office" for a few days.  I am getting closer to starting my design blog and have landed on a name...it was actually none of the titles from the poll!  

Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
