I've mentioned before how I am attempting to lighten up my house. I repainted the living room and foyer last year and have been very happy with the soothing new color. I am almost finished repainting the kitchen to a creamy white and am also tackling the dining room. Our dining room has been a beautiful, rich red color since we moved in … [Read more...]

For about a week I've been puttering about with this little footstool. I've just been so busy with things around here that the poor thing wasn't getting any attention! I finally finished it and wanted you to see how darn cute it was! I found it at the thrift and it was so cute I couldn't resist picking it up. I pondered what to do with it for a … [Read more...]

It's Memorial Day. I always think of my Marine Corps Dad on this day. He served 16+ yrs and went through two wars. It's good to remember those who have given us the freedoms we have.

May 23, 2012 By 28 Comments
One of my very favorite things each year is when my hydrangeas bloom. I just love looking out my studio window and seeing them. The pathway to the backyard is lined on both sides with large bushes. Depending on the soil in each spot, I get a wide variety of shades. I love this soft blue and chartreuse combination. I also love the … [Read more...]
