I love the look of metal. Any metal. Galvanized, hammered, rusted, shiny, brass, silver, copper, old, or new. I love the look of metal. Here is the front porch decorated with some metals and bright blues. Our front porch is small, but I have such fun decorating it. I like to layer thrifted finds with crafts that I have made. The aluminum ice bucket has a hole and was only a $1 at a garage sale,...

Crazy, right? This time around, I did my take on a English Garden front porch. Dark Traditional colors for the furniture and pink Petunia flowers in the pots. This is my wicker table, that I pulled out...

An old Window is now an old Mirror?

 I have the most thoughtful boyfriend. I saw this old window at an antique shop. I love the shape. Not too big or too small. I love the lead glass, the diamond pattern. I knew it could be a fun project. But it was the holidays and I wasn't spending any money, except on presents for my kids and my boyfriend. So I passed it up, and forgot about it. Then Christmas came, and there it was under...
