Hi There! Thank you so much for stopping by. I have been sharing pretty little spots in the back yard that I have decorated on the cheap. Lets look at another little spot... I love Flamingos. My first car had a pink Flamingo in the back seat window. At my old house, I put plastic Flamingos around my daughter's playhouse. I love Flamingos. I know many people HATE Flamingos. They think they are...

Hi There! I am so happy that you're here. Lately I have been showing a few outdoor projects that I have done to decorate my back yard on the cheap! Easy projects that I think anyone can do. Today I have a super simple project that took very little time at all. Here is a view of the patio on the side of the garage in the back yard. For the last two years I have had the Mexican plastic Picado...

Hi! For the next couple of posts, I will be showing you the back yard and how we have had it decorated this summer. Seems like a good time, since the summer is more than half way over. Soon, I will be taking it all down and putting it away. This fence is on the south side of our yard. It was a huge bare spot that just needed something. Of course I had a few thrifted frames in my stash. Out came...

Hi there, how are you? Have you ever heard of Barn Quilts? Well- simply put, they are painted quilt block patterns on wood that are hung on the side of a barn. They can be simple or complex. They are all beautiful and I think they are awesome! Last summer I painted a cork board with a double wedding ring pattern. I love it so much. You can see how I painted a found by the side of the road cork...

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. Lots, of Red, White, and Blue. This was a quick and easy change over, everything here has been used before on the Front porch. I just moved a few things around and changed out some of the plants. Except the New...

An English Garden Front Porch

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...
