I can't believe it took me so long to discover Country Living magazine. Back in January when I was organizing my inspiration binder, I was amazed by how many images I'd pulled out of my Country Living magazines (and by how many issues I had paid retail for -- duh!). Time to subscribe, no? This past couple of weeks while I was largely unplugged, I spent a little time catching up on my shelter magazines. Do yours ever pile up on you? When … [Read more...]
Looky What I Found… {Faceless Angels}
April 13, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Today seems like a great day to share one of my favorite new acquisitions. I picked this painting up in a little shop in Montgomery, Alabama while visiting a dear friend a couple of months ago. The artist is Donnie Sasser and he calls this one of his "Faceless Angel" paintings. There were many to choose from, but I loved the scale of this one. Ha ha, I've actually moved it (during a recent "tweaking" session), but … [Read more...]

I've officially lost my mind when I decide to repaint my kitchen during my week off. The week when I'm all alone and could be antiquing, reading, lounging on my back deck, chatting on the phone with friends, starting happy hour at 5 sharp. You know -- vacation??? But instead, I got the grandiose notion that this was the perfect time for me to repaint the kitchen. Granted, the Tuscan gold is 12 years old. And the woodwork is all dinged … [Read more...]
It’s a Cinch!! Chalkboard Flower Buckets
March 27, 2012 by · 15 Comments
This has GOT to be the easiest project I've tackled in a while... I spied these flower buckets in the dollar section at Target. There were only two left so I, of course, snagged them both. I was thinking I'd love to dress them up to put in my booth... or not. :) I dug out my chalkboard paint and some stencils from my scrapbooking days. I'm thinking "chalkboard labels", ripe for any message. I used painters tape to secure the … [Read more...]
