Hello There! I've decided to put in some more time here. My plan is to post at least 3 to 4 times a week. In order for me to make this a success, I will need to do the work. Makes sense, right? Let's get to it ;)   At the start of the summer, I had a half day of work. I was at home alone and puttering around the yard. The weather was nice and we had just gotten some annuals for the patio. I...

Hello. Happy Fall. I haven't been around, so lets just jump right in!   I had this succulent that was getting really tall and leggy. So tall, that it was falling over the side of the planter it was in. He was also growing Flower/ Plant babies off his trunk and out of his roots. I researched and found out that succulents will do that because they are not getting enough sun. Well baby, we live...

Hi There! I am so glad you dropped by! I was sitting in the living room, watching TV. Losing brain cells, I'm sure. And I just loved how the light was hitting this small vignette I have on the top of a small bookcase. Whats a girl to do? Get out her camera and go take some pictures. This is the top of a little bookcase I have had for years. It sits between the TV armoire and the window. The...

Hi There! Happy 4th! I took these photos over a week ago, but sometimes life gets in the way. You know? Lets get started, here is the Front porch all dressed up for the 4th of July.

Except the New...

Hi There! I am so glad you're here. I have been craving some traditional decor lately. So, I am switching up some of my porch furniture with "new" paint colors. Traditional, neutral paint colors. 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?

Jackie Hill August 15, 2014 0 Comments
 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...
