Hi there! I know Easter was a few days ago, but here is a quick look at the Front Porch decorated for Spring and Easter. In another week and it will all change once again! I wanted a bright and cheery front porch. I went with a Turquoise Blue and Purple color story, and rounded it out with the usual Silver Galvanized metals and Light Natural wood tones. I collected from my stash all of my Purple...

Hi There! Sorry, I have been gone so long. I have been busy. Work, life, etc. Enough said, we have all been there. So, today I am back with a quick look at the Odd built-in the Dining room. This odd little built in has 4" deep shelves, so not much will fit for decorating. But this is the little spot that I change up for the seasons, or when I am just bored. I do believe at one point, these...

The Front Porch is a quick and easy spot for me to decorate. That is why I have so many photos of it. So, here again is another quick- I promise -look at the Front Porch with Spring Green touches. These stacked stools are on the Front Porch all the time. I have had them for years, and they have been painted a few different colors. I like having a spot by the door to place my bag on while I unlock...

I made a fun DIY piece of Artwork. It doesn't have a new home yet, so I put it on the Front Porch. I had taken down the Valentine Chalkboard, but was not ready to change things up yet. You can change one item and get a new look- the best kind of decorating! Quick and simple I made this stenciled DIY piece of Artwork while watching TV. I love a good craft that can be put down and picked up at...

I know that it is March, But I want to post this quick look at the Front Porch decorated for Valentines Day. It gets pretty cold here in Michigan during February, but we did have a couple of really nice bright sunny days. This was one of those days, too pretty to pass up! This vignette is on one side of the Front Porch. The porch is not big enough to have a chair to sit and have a drink, but it...

2017 is the year to make dreams come true! I have had a hard couple of years, financially that is. Getting divorced was the best decision for me, and the worst for my pocketbook. My advice?

Sometimes you want to decorate for an upcoming holiday, but you might not care for the traditional color associated with it. That is how I feel about the color Red. I am much more of a blue and gray and black and green and purple girl. I mean, Red is fine. In fact, I decorated the front porch with some red for the Christmas holiday. It is just not my favorite color. I did want to decorate a bit...
