Hi everyone, I sure have missed you all! I haven't had much time for posting pic's but I have been visiting everyone so that I can keep caught up on what's going on out there in blogland, especially since I bought myself a new laptop, I LOOOOVVVEEE it! I wanted to share with you what I have been slowly but surely working on the last couple of weeks, if you have read my blog for a while you will remember my bunkhouse(apt) that I have on my property, well I haven't finished it yet but thought I'd show the progress, we ripped up the old molding in the dining rm and added some new molding and then I used strips of lattice placed 12" apart and topped it off with chair rail molding, I painted that all white and then above that I painted it Brown Teepee by Behr. I need to get a better pic of the molding and I just realized it's kind of hard to see.
This was before and during the process of the redo but I wanted to show you what it looked like.
This is the kitchen in the bunkhouse and I still need to paint the back splash, I really haven't done anything in here for a while but thought you might like to see what the kitchen looks like (;
Hi girls, I just wanted to pop in and say hello!! These are my pretty pink roses from the rose bush that I haven't killed yet, LOL, no I'm not the best gardener, but I think I've mentioned that before, right now these roses are the prettiest thing around here with Summer in full swing it's hard to get motivated seems like all I see is half empty glasses of koolaid and partially eaten plates of food! I told my boys that the maid quit last month but no body seems to care, I really am enjoying the Summer vacation but time seems to be passing way to fast and I really am enjoying every minute of it even the mess, I hope everyone else is having a great Summer and I will be back soon(;
I just wanted to wish all of you a happy and safe 4th of July and show you some of my holiday decorations! The first pic is my front porch..................... The little sign on the shutter says It's Good To Be Home.
A chair with an antique bucket in the seat planted with hydrangas and flags(I know they are fake flowers but I kill everything, no green thunb here especially with the HOT weather).
My dining rm, the china cabinet with some hats & stars garland.....................
More flags in a vintage wicker vase........................
This is where I moved my chalk board it sits over my island between my kitchen and dining rm, did you notice to the right, my stencils I did on the beam, they go all the way around the beam. Please dont mind my terrible scratches on my door,I'm getting ready to paint it, I had a wreath there and with boys nothing is opened or closed gently, LOL!
and last but not least I wanted to show you my new find at Marshalls, I have wanted one of these for a while and so I bought it as a birthday present to myself(; Enjoy your holiday and be safe!!
OMG I almost forgot to take a before pic, as I started to spray it I remembered to take a pic! I bought this at Marshalls, I thought it looked like an old peice so I snatched it up thinking it would look pretty painted white, I also added some rose appliques to each side of the front the top ones were already on it. I'm still trying to get my house finished in between my kids and a billion others hanging out so back to painting!
The appliques that I glued on, I still need to touch these up a little.
I am having major comp problems here again so I am going to make this quick before it cuts me off again. I painted my dining rm light silver sage, it looks really blue though. I have to get used to it but I do like it . What do you all think do ya like it?? I am still playing around with the decor, did you notice my oval mirror over the fireplace remember it used to be gold I painted it white, I have more to show you but my house,the part you can't see in the picture, is still a mess, LOL.
