Stairway

Remember the paper treatment I did at my space in The Shops at 25 West? Well I LOVED it so much I decided to do it in my home too. I chose the stairway as I just wanted it to be an accent wall. It isn't finished as you can see in the picture but it looks great already. Over the paper I hung my favorite frames that I white washed. I hung a candelabra as well to add to the look.

I was difficult to get a good picture. My house is divided, my two daughters think it looks good. My son questions my choice and my husband only said I hope this isn't permanent, you aren't gluing it are you?

I will share the final "look" with you when it is all done. Have you done anything outragous in your home latley and LOVE how it turned out?

I'm Here!

I am still alive! As I mentioned before my camera died, I feel so lost without it. Anyone know if you can have a camera repaired? Is there a camera repairman?? I dug out my old camera and took a bunch of pictures, couldn't find the cord to plug it in to the computer and I lost the camera. Just my luck! I did find it and next I will find that cord!

I haven't been creating too much things have been very busy! Tonight is Kimberly's last regular season Field Hockey game. Her team is undefeated in the league! They are playing amazingly this year! Sectionals are next but it won't be two to three games a week! In addition to Field Hockey my son plays football so add one game a week for that. Tomorrow is he last game and if they win they will also be undefeated! GO BOMBERS! One good thing is he plays JV so no playoffs. I am ready to have time to paint and create at night again and NOT eat dinner at 9 o'clock.

I will be back soon with some pictures I promise! This Saturday is the annual open house at The Shops at 25 West. Stop by for some food, door prizes and a demonstration! Hope to see you there!

Estate Sales

I picked up these two pieces of furniture that were left over from an estate sale. It feels strange going through someones things after they are deceased. All their belongings spread out for people to pick through. I guess it makes me feel better that I am giving them new life. I really loved this chair and new it could be great.

This cute table was in the basement covered in cobwebs!

I picked up a sheet from Salvation Army for $1.00 that worked wonderfully to recover the cushion.

The table is just darling now with a stained top and white legs. I actually think these pieces go together quite well.

Sorry for the poor pictures my camera is still acting up, I may have to break down and buy a new one. I did dig out my old camera but of course I can't find the cord to load the pictures on the computer so I am stuck using my phone.

A New Look

My space at The Shops at 25 West got a little face lift. The picture isn't too great my camera died. It is driving me crazy I am going to dig out my old camera today. It has to take better pictures then my phone!

Perfect Fall Day

We ventured out to see the Salmon River Falls. WOW is all I could say. Apparently normally it is just a trickle of eater going over the falls.

Not today, look at all that water. We have had a lot of rain so I guess this is the result.

After words we went to the apple orchard.

Ventured into a corn maze

It was a perfect fall day yesterday!

Can't let go of summer...

For some reason I find myself painting more garden inspired signs. Does that make sense since it is Fall? Remember this one from yesterday...

Here is my latest one similar yet different. Are you finding it hard to transition to fall?

I am linking up to My Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday.

Fresh Flowers

Well I am FINALLY starting to feel better. That really knocked me on my butt! I haven't been creative at all lately so I got to it! I have had this piece of wood fencing for some time now, waiting for inspiration to hit. This is actually inspired by a sign and a room divider screen.

Love the the colors in the background and the little design linking them.

Lettering on this was a little rough but it only gives it more character, don't you think?

I am pleased with the way it turned out.

Anyone else creating something fun?
