I am no painting artist, I mean I am an artist. But I wouldn't call myself a canvas artist by any means. A few of my favorite artists are Cindy Austin from My Fractured Fairytale, Cindy Ellis, Christie Repasy, and Rebecca Nelson from A Gathering Of Thoughts, Gee Singh-Newbanks. These women can paint roses and just about anything like nobody's business. But today I thought I would teach you how to paint roses, birds and leaves. Now all of those amazing and talented women that I listed above would probably laugh hysterically if they knew I was teaching how to paint. But here it goes anyway. To paint a rose, or how I paint a rose it's very easy. First I take a lighter color, usually white or ivory and squeeze a little on a paper plate. Today I am just adding it right on top of my ...

Welcome Home Summer Tour Balsam Hill
I am thrilled to be a part of the Welcome Home Summer tour with Balsam Hill, myself along with 24 other blogs. Today I wanted to share my reveal of my porch. Well, it's sort of a reveal, I am still waiting on curtains I ordered so it's not a full reveal just yet. But you can still see the transformation. Let's look at a before photo first. That photo was taken last summer, before I painted the floors or did any real decorating. I was told the wood deck floor needed to fully dry out before painting it, so I waited and waited. Until this year :-) And here is my screened in porch this year. As you can see I added a pop of color in this room with my chairs,that shell art and these new floral chairs cushions. (And if my curtains were here, those are turquoise, I am so bummed they ... View Post
Vintage Chic Sale
Your probably wondering how my Vintage Chic sale went. First, I want to thank all who came out. Many from far away, which blows my mind! I wish I had photos to share while everyone was shopping, but there was no time for photos. On Thursday night I had a rope drop, and many people standing in line to shop my sale. As soon as the rope dropped the shopping began. I barely had time to write each item on the sales tickets because the check out line was growing! I handed out bright pink post it notes before the rope drop, and told everyone that if they saw something they wanted, to put the post it on the piece with there name. Doing this ensured that it was there's and no one else could purchase it. And they could continue shopping. The treasure's went fast, and once the big crowd ... View Post
Vintage Chic Sale
You will probably not see as many new posts in the next week as I get ready for my vintage chic sale. This is the sale I held in my home last summer. I transformed my garage into a shop, you can view the transformation HERE. I also shared what I learned from my first home sale, you can read all about that HERE and HERE. For this year's sale, I have already placed an ad in the paper, and I am advertising on Craigslist. One of the lessons I learned last year is that I should have advertised more. This year I am on top of that. And as you can see my garage is much fuller than it was last year. Most of the pieces are from my personal collection. If you've seen in photographed on my blog or in a magazine, it's in my garage. So why am I downsizing and purging so much? I shared ... View Post
Easy DIY Seashell Art
So thrilled to be a part of the seashell tour, and share this easy diy seashell art. This time of the year for the most part, no matter where you live you are thinking about the beach and seashells. When I was asked to be a part of this tour I had so many ideas running through my head. Since I am making some changes in my screened in porch I thought I needed to add a little art in there. So I pulled out an old screen that I had not been using. I love the chippy patina on this old screen, but I wasn't crazy about the color. As you may or may not remember, I am adding color to my porch. So I pulled out my paint and painted this Chippy Blue from my signature paint line. I just added one coat. Next, I pulled together seashells that I purchased through Micheal's crafts. I believe ... View Post
