I PAINTED THIS OLD 80'S COLONIAL FIXTURE with "Heirloom White" spray paint came out lovely....I then blinged it with some jewels it's so much prettier in person. I loved "Common Ground's" even without crystals she really had the room for it with fantastic ceilings....totally un-colonial now...Don't ya just LOVE paint.... Not too long ago I did mine too. So thought I'd share it since I haven't in

Happy Valentines Day! If you woke up this morning not feeling loved....think it no more cause "I love you"...because you all love me for me it makes it easier for me to be real with all of you. In 2011 I felt my feet hit the floor running...but somehow it seems I've been going in circles with no real path. It's amazing even going in circles you push yourself but until you break free of a circle

The last time I went to Canton Trade Days this chair caught my eye and I just loved it...I thought I was going to have to get UGLY though.... some ole' gal tried to buy it out from underneath me for more $$$$ money.

I HAVE PUT THOSE SCRAPS TO USE...I HAND STITCHED THE QUILTING AND QUILTED THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM AND PRESENTED IT TO GRANDMA FOR VALENTINES. IT'S A DOUBLE-SIDED QUILT THAT IS REVERSIBLE...she has layed it out for the picture.She has always loved the outdoors and flowers and it will give her a lift of color that she so enjoys....

I have collected Silver and Silver plate Silverware for years. I do not buy them because they are collectible.I buy them because they are works of art. I have ... "A thing" for old silver and silver plated silverware. It truly is a ...thing...I love how intricately they are scalloped with detail. I rarely buy more than 1 piece of a pattern but gather them up one by one. One pattern at a time.

Remember when I blogged about black roses well I did it. I rewired the lamp myself and it's easy. Okay Girls, do you hand this job over to your husbands or just throw away a non-working lamp?. Do you pass up good deals because it has to be rewired.

Most of my treasures have been gifts (((very lovely))) I love the base on this candle holder. The fabulous over sized tray that holds my collection of candlesticks.

COMPUTERS ARE SO GREAT....While taking my brother-in-law to the airport and sitting in the back seat while my husband drove I spotted a chair online that I would like to have from Craigslist. Made a phone call and am planning on going by to look at it after we drop him off. It appears to need reupholstering and possible TLC but that's okay it's the right price. Just another project!

It's hard to look at these pictures without smiling. I am reminded today to pray for our troops... We may not be able to change all their parents but if we change their children ... we change the world...I just remembered... a Wynonna song, "Only Love" I enjoyed seeing these photos in an email I received and thought you would too.

If 2+2 is 4. How many pieces of fabric does it take to make a king-sized quilt? HUMMM.Okay I hate MATH...I'm no perfectionist and somehow in this project that seems to work in my favor!

This was my "Guest" Bedroom...Wouldn't stay long would ya?? It was the room my husband was using until we could come up with a bed. Guess what? I came up with the bed..wouldn't you??? after seeing car parts placed on the shelves and around the room (inside the house). In all honesty we do not have a garage. The one that sat on my old lot was falling down and a major hazard so we disposed of it.

I did not let that stop me...though there are only 5. These chairs have been totally neglected but have much potential. I love their intricate detailing and graceful lines. As soon as I saw them... I saw them differently...I can hardly

We painted it a lovely shade of yellow but then we had the roof redone and the cinnamon color of the roof and the yellow of the body color was just running together (too much blend and not enough contrast so since we haven't gotten to the exterior of our house yet...I repainted.

I know...I know... My attire is not that of the "Queen". But the Crown Molding is at the Queen's request... 5"wide with 2 additional pieces making it approx 7" for the final width it's great that the "King" is so handy. Always my helper at my side.

A week ago I decided to paint white over my little pink cabinet. That's how this started.Next thing I know I'm removing some pink that I had accumulated.The dusting on the carpet is carpet cleaner. Ooooops!I enjoy sitting in this sitting room the sunlight that streams in from the door and 84" windows is fantastic and I just feel good when I sit in this room.It's the room that not only puts a

I love it White....Distressed and Beeeeeeeautiful. Now all that detail that was missed... jumps out. Are you feelin' it???...the white way.I always wait awhile and live with items before I apply paint. But this is one of those projects where I asked myself "why?" Why did I wait so long absolutely love this piece painted. It's an old ship captains desk (dark walnut) and has aaaaaaalot of

So what's LOVE got to do with it???It's not hard to see why this is loved at my house it houses my antique china and collectibles. It is small and fits in a corner of my sitting room. I have "loved" my little china cabinet ever since I first got it for $50. It was painted the bright pink that you see featured on my blog header and I've lived with it that way for about 9 months. Now it's been

It wasn't horribly ugly but it just took my bedroom from looking less than cottage chic...and far more victorian than I wanted it to feel. I need a headboard since our bed backs up to a window for all my pillows. I really wanted it to blend-in not stand out. So my

Look at all the different things that have truly evolved from her love of beauty and simplicity. People have branched off into Cottage Chic, Vintage Chic, Romantic Chic and Eclectic Chic AND I'm sure other kinds of Chic. She has

Isn't it greatttt when you can catch some time off to yourself to enjoy some magazines and get your creative juices flowing? It does not happen often enough. I have an exchange going right now with my friend Barbara and she has sent home with me a bag of old editions of "Cottage Living." Some I've seen but many that I have not.

MY LATEST NEW FIND...I am excited to have come across a deal on shutters. Less than $4 a piece to be exact.....WOW!! Perfect for the cottage look that I'm all about...I bought them even though they will not work in the windows.Even though they are dirty and could use a good cleaning and missing a couple of slats.

Hi All. ... after a hectic week I decided to treat myself to a movie. I can honestly say that I love a "good" movie. One that makes you laugh and cry and just feel good. I saw today the movie, "Julie & Julia" it did just that for me if you are looking for a movie that gives you some of the things I've mentioned this may be the one for you.
