MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

When I revealed my master bedroom I was missing one piece of furniture,my new chippy side table. Actually it is a vintage wash stand. Over the summer I spotted this lovely piece at one of my favorite  antique shop's.   When I first saw this chippy table the first time I passed it up. I did not have a spot for it and as much as I adored the chippy pink paint with this perfect aged patina I passed it up! But when I decided to change things around in my bedroom I thought this would look perfectly. Actually truth be told after reading and drooling over Rachel Ashwell's book a  light bulb went off in my head. This washstand makes a wonderful side table. I took the piece off that was used to hang hand towels. It did not seem to work with my mirror on my wall and for now I ... View Post

I recently came across this sweet little red tractor.I knew it would fit in well with my farmhouse kitchen. I fell for the perfectly chippy red paint. A child's toy at one time now adorns the shelf above my refrigerator  in my kitchen. At first I thought this might be a perfect match for my old farmhouse. When you look at it from this perspective it seems to work. But as you get a little closer you realize that the tractor is a bit too big for that sweet farmhouse. Yes I think this little tractor fits perfectly in this kitchen.     Chippy paint....and all!   Today at Live Creatively Inspired I am sharing how to make a headband without sewing!

Let's see how many times can I change my studio.I know I changed it recently.But my studio craft room is my space.My own personal space to create.And well it's not always picture perfect. I seem to clean this room the most. Not only do I create in this room but I also store all of my found treasures that I will soon be listing in my shop. Soon to open right here on this blog! I have lots of boxes I have been saving for shipping out treasures. This room was starting to feel dark. Remember I shared with you that I moved my antique sewing machine in this room.

That is the other door my friend Kris from Junk Chic Cottage ... View Post

Transforming a master bedroom,you are probably thinking what again?Didn't you just do this? Why yes I did! In fact it was almost a year ago that my bedroom went through it's first transformation. You can read about it  HERE. I know it has not been quite a year yet but I was ready for a little change. After reading Rachel Ashwell's book I got inspired to make a few changes. Putting some things away and not leaving so much out,a cleaner look. I am trying to focus on pieces I really love and that really make a statement in my rooms. This may come as a shock to you but I wanted to add a little color too! I know.....I know I still love my white. Which is the reason why I love white you can add touches of color to a room filled with white. When I first started ... View Post
