Welcome! I am happy to have you here today. I hope your day is filled with lots of fun plans. AS for me, I have a fun project to share with you. It’s my Living Room Gallery Wall. This is a project that has been filed in the back of my mind for months. AND, now if is finally done. With the help of one of our sweet daughters.
You had a sneak peek at it last week for the Welcome Home Summer Tour.
Well hello everyone. Is school out where you are? Today is the last day for the kiddos around here. And so Summer activities and decorating begins.
Do you decorate for Summer? I like to “lighten up our home with pastels , shells and softer looking accessories.
You may have seen my pennant a few days ago on the Welcome Home Summer Tour. Now I want to show you how to make your own.
Hello Hello! It is great to be with you today. As you remember, I spent 10 days in Washington D.C. with one of our daughters.

You may have seen many chair makeovers on Pinterest, but I wanted to show you How to Recover a Dining Chair Seat, my easy and simple way.
We started out with 6 chairs, looking like this. Not bad, at all. The whole set was given to our daughter for free. The BEST price, right?
Having a family of 7, she wanted something durable. And not plastic.

This is the small table is about to make a transformation from light pink to a beachy color called Laurentine. This color will be ideal for a new look on our front porch.
The table was a sample from when my husband was a furniture sales rep. He carried this metal and glass table around in his car, show it to furniture store owners and then I ended up keeping it. When it was a sample, it was a gray, steel color. It was nice for the time, but I wanted a little color to it.
I painted it with craft paint mixing white with a few drops of red to make it light pink. It has been like that for a few years, and I have never really liked it. Weird how that happens, isn’t it?Continue Reading
