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...

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 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?

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,...

Hi There! Sometimes the best way to start is to jump in... I am giving you a look at my Front Porch decorated for different seasons. Here I have a early Fall Porch look for you to see.

It is meant as  ground cover, I placed it in a metal pot, and watched it grow. I love...

Another Painted Quilt

Hello. I love quilts. I love quilt patterns. I love the graphic statement they make. They are traditional and modern at the same time. I painted another quilt. I am a little obsessed with them. I am not going to give a tutorial on Painting quilts. It is pretty self explanatory, draw out a quilt pattern and fill in with paint. An easy DIY artwork that anyone could do.   I had this canvas that...

Hello. I have been having a hard time lately, but there has been a small amount of sunshine through the clouds. We will wait and see what is to come. It is exciting to have hope again. Maybe this is the start of the big change I have envisioned for myself. Todays post is a collection of photos of all of the pretty flowers, plants and accessories I have used on the Back yard Patio this Summer....
