Wow, do I have respect for all of you that do numerous YouTube videos! Especially tutorials, they are not easy. Well, I guess that's how it is when your a newbie as I am. I am planning on doing lots of videos, and the more I do these, I am sure the easier it get's. I started at 9:00 this morning and I just finished...yeah! Hours and hours went into this and it's less than five minutes long. So I hope you enjoy it ;-) I will be working on the lighting issue, and UGH my camera. That zooming in and out was not a special effect, that's just my camera. So without further adieu, here is my video tutorial on how I created my desk using Venetian Texture Medium. Please be kind, this was my first tutorial :-) ... View Post
Painted Furniture Technique Adding Patina
Painted Furniture I love painted furniture pieces, and I also love coming up with new, creative and fun ways to add texture and patina to a piece. My friend Paula came up with this idea and when I saw her painted furniture piece I nearly fell off my chair. Seriously! ***This post contains affiliate links, and this was a sponsored post, please read disclosure policy*** This is not a cool or pretty desk, it was found at a resale shop. We have many of those around here. When I spotted it my first thought was, this would make a cool table to create a faux farmhouse table. But I actually found a table that worked better for a faux farm table. You can read about that HERE. So, then I thought why not use this as a desk since it is a desk, duh! This was pretty cheap at ... View Post
Have You Heard About bHome
Many months ago I heard about bHome. It's an app that was only available on an iphone. I was totally bummed that I couldn't access it. So why was I so bummed that I couldn't access it, and what is bHome? bHome is a very cool app that contains all of your favorite blogs and sites, over 40 in all and growing! How cool is that, all of your favorite blogs and sites on one app!! Instead of bookmarking and searching for your favorite sites, they are all right there in the palm of your hand on one super cool app on your phone! But as I said, it wasn't available on an Android phone only iphones. Until very recently!!! As soon as I found out that I could finally access it, I was beyond thrilled, to have access to all of my favorite blogs and sites on one app. So if your like me standing ... View Post
New Treasures
I just added new treasures to the shop, and since I haven't shared what's new in the shop in sometime now, I thought today I would. I also want to mention one more thing about the survey, but fist let's take a look at what's new in the shop. I've had this French basket for many years. I bought it from a dear friend of mine, but since I am slowly downsizing I am letting it go. I have used it for my dried hydrangea's, and pumpkins and much more. It's a bit tattered, but oh so perfectly Shabby Chic! I love collecting silverware, I have been for years. These pieces are part of my collection that I am letting go. Yes it's very mismatched. It's an interesting collection, many pieces have monograms, and one even says United with the United Airlines symbol. I can't imagine how old ... View Post
The Survey Says!
First I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to take the survey. The survey gives me a good idea of what you enjoy the most about the blog, and what you don't like so much. So the survey says.... I suck at recipes LOL! Well, how did you all know that cooking wasn't really my thing? Yes, most of your replied that you do not want to see my recipes. Actually I love baking, but I don't do it often, and that's a good thing for my waist. So I won't be sharing any more recipe posts, unless it's something amazing or out of this world! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know there were a few, yes just a few comments about not sharing photos of roses. But, I love them and I am still going to share them. It's sort of my trademark, and part of my style. I will try not to show them all of the ... View Post
