The Essence of Home: Share Your Style Party #41

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Share Your Style! I hope this week hasn't been too busy for you getting ready for Thanksgiving and all. I am looking forward to a big meal tomorrow and spending time with my family. Since I'm not hosting this year, I'm just making a couple of dishes to take to my sister's house. I must say my kitchen smelled good today while I was baking! I hope that all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I look forward to seeing whatever you have to share with us this week. Barbara at 21 Rosemary Lane is your host.

Hi Everyone and welcome to the 41st Share Your Style party! This week your hostess is me, Barbara, from the blog 21 Rosemary Lane. I would love for you to stop by for a visit sometime!

Here is what has been going on at 21 Rosemary Lane over the past few weeks. I shared with you some of the fall beauty we enjoy here in the great northeastern United States. This year's foliage was especially gorgeous!!

I also showed you how to make this darling Pumpkin Garland.

And finally last week I shared a few ideas I have to update our rather boring kitchen walls. The color I have seriously been kicking around is a gray and I plan to pair it with white bead board wainscoting. To see some of my inspiration pics just click here. Hoping to get this part of the kitchen project done before Christmas!

And now on to the features!!!

First up is a pretty back porch table setting for two from Lory at Designthusiasm. I am so crushing on those colorful pillows by Ralph Lauren and just look at that view...gorgeous!

Next is a darling cracked patina nightstand Erin from How to Nest for Less refinished for her daughter's bedroom makeover. Hop on over and check out how she created this lovely patina look as well as the rest of her darling room.

Now we are going back outside to take a peek at a beautiful front porch put together by LuAnn from the blog Lovely Livings. I just adore all of the mums, pretty pumpkins and white rockers with orange pillows. Sooo welcoming!

OK I admit it...I am a complete sucker for anything chocolate. This gorgeous Chocolate Buttermilk Cake with Whipped Chocolate Buttercream Frosting was created by Once Upon a Chocolate Life. Isn't it stunning??? Someone please hand me a fork!!!

For those of you who are still looking for some Thanksgiving table setting ideas, Dagmar from the blog Dagmar's Home shared seven wonderfully inspiring and easy Cottage Thanksgiving Tablescapes.
