Demi~ Lune gets a new Do....





I have a little demi~lune table that I got many moons ago @ The Bombay Co....it is a cute little table that I use in my closet under an antique frame that I put a mirror in. Nice enough, but... it needed a little face lift (don't we all!) Of course I did not take any before pic's because who thinks that far ahead... you'll just have to take my word for it... it had a glossy cherry finish... I had a can of valspar swiss coffee from a cabinet project I have been working on, more on that another time and valspar mocha glaze... yes for the cabinet project I have not shown you yet. A little sanding, paint and glaze and taaa daaa! Love the new look, but she is still going back in the closet, a closet has to look pretty too!
Have a super weekend!

eye candy...













I met a new friend today.... she invited me into her home... there was eye candy... everywhere!  I wanted to touch everything.... just like a kid in a candy store! Sheri is a very talented DIYer... from tiling to refinishing cabinets and furniture to sewing.... her gift is evident everywhere in her home. I immediately felt a sense of who she is... comfortable and colorful and chic and classy... yes... I'd say that sums both her and her home up perfectly! Nice meeting you Sheri... thanks for letting me share your beautiful home!
Hope to see you again soon!

The Wedding wall....

Since today is my 29th Wedding Anniversary I thought it was the perfect time to share The Wedding Wall.... before we went on vacation last week, I worked on a gallery wall . I had most of the frames... sprayed them white... some were already black. Picked up a few more and showcased my beautiful daughters as brides, the little girlies as flower girls and H.H. and I on our wedding day, even one of my Mom and Dad, would like to collect a few more of some other beloved brides in my family... lets just say it's a work in progress.




my faithful assistant... Maggie!
