Wow I am deeply touched by all of your responses from my last post. Thank you all so much for all of your sweet comments,I wish I  could hug each and everyone of you! Today was a beautiful spring day,you would think I would be out enjoying but instead I decided to start my next project I have been wanting to do for awhile. Yes more changes in my kitchen,what a surprise! I don't want to reveal it yet because there is much to do,you can see I am adding beadboard wallpaper to my kitchen island. Here is a sneak peek. My kitchen island has been changed several times in the past couple of years. This is an easy and cheap way to change a room or cabinets. It was 12.95 for a roll,and I think I may only need one roll. Yes you can see the top of the beadboard is not perfect but that's ... View Post

It's a beautiful day here today,finally spring has arrived. Sitting here with some thoughts and a candle. Recently I  noticed Rachel Ashwell had two new candle scents out from her Simply Shabby Chic line,I looked and looked and finally found some. One  scent is Gardenia and the other scent is Red currant. Both smell amazing and they are lifting my spirits a bit today. Okay I am going to share something with you all today,keeping it real. Sometimes as a blogger you look at your numbers a little too much. They go up and they go down. I let myself get too concerned with the numbers and it stresses me out. Feeling like I should be doing more,sharing more. So I started thinking maybe you are getting a little bored with what I am sharing. And so I am wondering what YOU would like ... View Post

I cannot begin to express to you all how much fun it was teaching the Vintage Market and Design paint workshop. Janet did an amazing job setting everything up. Let's first take a look around at her set up and paint display. Everyone received a sway bag with a paint brush,gloves,sanding block,a painting guide,and a pen and notebook for taking notes,and a bottle of water. Janet also set up coffee station at the check out table and had a few tasty treats. As you can see she has some beautiful pieces that said paint me,that are for sale in her shop to take home and paint too. Love her display for her paints, and brushes. Janet set up a vintage laundry cart with vintage frames for everyone to paint. Before the class started Janet shared a little information about Vintage ... View Post

This time of the year can be very busy for me and this year is no exception. It's hard to believe but my baby will be graduating from 8th grade in May. We are planning on celebrating with a party for her so I have lots to do inside and out. Oh I know you are probably thinking what do you need to do. Well I like to change things around and freshen things up a bit this time of the year. I also need to finish a few projects,and my yard it is quite a mess from the construction. Recently while I was out treasure hunting for the shop I found a beautiful bedspread. I love the soft muted colors and thought it would work perfectly in our bedroom. It's a full size spread and I have a king size bed,but that's okay,it works perfectly with the  beautiful bedspread that Ticking and Toile made ... View Post

I don't know if I have ever shared this with you but I have a think for oval shaped frames. It does not matter if it is mirror or a picture frame,I am drawn to the soft look of an oval shaped frame. I came across this frame very recently. For sometime I have been wanting to add just a touch of pink to my chalkboard wall in my kitchen. At first I was thinking of making a wreath to add around my Heifer head. But when I saw this I decided this would work perfectly too. I love the details on this frame but not the gold. I am not big on the color gold,I do have a little gold in my home, but I don't like to go overboard with it . It's a little too fancy for my home. I am just using the paint I already had, so I pulled out Annie Sloan Antoinette. It is a little more of a purple color ... View Post
