I’ve Got The Monday Blues

The Holidays are almost over and I’ve got the Monday Blues.

It happens every Monday. I love sharing my blues with you. This week instead of sharing MY blues, I thought I would share some blues I found.

Did you know I have a Blue and Green Pinterest Board? I just can’t resist a blue anything-well, almost anything! Did I mention that blue is my favorite color? With green as a close second.

Are you having a blue Monday, too? Well, maybe these will cheer you up just like they did for me.

“I’ve Got The Monday Blues” (on Tuesday)!! Welcome Welcome!! I was honoring those who died in last weeks tragedy.

We have also been visiting with the grand kiddos and having some wonderful family time!!

But I am excited to be back and to share some incredible blues with you!!

My first blue today is from Linda:

Linda blogs over at: Two Succulent Sisters

Linda bought the goblet at the dollar store, then filled it with blue wrapped Lindor chocolates!! She then added a bow-and viola-a nice neighbor gift!! Thanks Linda! I heart this blue idea!!

My fave blue to share this week is this blue french door.

I painted this door blue and added a wreath to use in our son’s wedding decorations.

It was purchased at Home Depot for $20!! I know-whatta deal!!

Here is the first coat. The color is Olympic Blue-Bayou.

Then I added Olympic Blue Persuasion as an accent color.

I then, sanded all the edges by hand. It took me awhile, but I really liked the outcome.

And, here we go!! Two blue doors were just the right accent piece to go with the dessert table. Don’t you just love the wreaths?? They were purchased at Pier 1. They also go so well with the blue coffee filter banners!!

I am really wanting a door like this for our living room. Don’t you??

Thanks for joining me for the Monday Blues!! I hope you come back again soon!! Join me later today for a delish homemade cookie recipe you will love and need to share!!

I’ve got the “Monday Blues” again!! As in weeks past, I know you won’t be disappointed with the blues I am featuring today!!

Okay, let’s get this blue show on the road!!

Rhea is incredible at restoring and refreshing furniture. This chair is no exception:

Before Rhea’s transformation…

After Rhea’s vision and hard work.

Don’t you just LOVE this chair?? Rhea said,”This is a slip covered chair I delivered to my client this week. I loved it so much I didn’t want to deliver it!”

I don’t think I have seen blue that has taken my heart like this in a long time!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous blue Rhea!!

Another gorgeous blue for today is from one of my followers, Alycia. This is her first Christmas as a newlywed! How fun is that?

Alycia wrote: ” We both talked about wanting a Christmas tree this year but it just didn’t seem to be on top of the list so we didn’t worry about it anymore. Then one day while I was at work, (I am a nanny) my nanny family wanted to take me shopping for my birthday present… Which they decided that they wanted to get me a Christmas tree and ornaments!! Marc and I have been blessed by the jobs we have and all the special gifts that come along with them!! Marc and I were fine with the idea of not having a Christmas tree this year, but now it has helped us get more in the Christmas mood as we put our tree up together!!”

“Christmas isn’t about the tree, but it brought my husband and I closer with memories that will last forever!”

Alycia made the bows “all by myself!! I am proud of them!!”

Now is that the sweetest blue story you have heard in a long time?? Thanks Alycia for sharing your blue and your story today!!

As for my blues today, I am loving my sticks with my blue glittery birdhouses!!

When I went out on Black Friday, I saw the cutest glittery birdhouse ornaments at Target. They were $5 a pop. Hmmm…The creative juices started flowing. I needed those birdhouses to live in my sticks!! I went to Joann’s to buy some bird houses. They were $1 each!! I love when that happens!!

Since I was painting wood, I thought I would just use my interior paint, rather than craft paint. I also wanted them to sparkle, so I got out my glitter. And I was ready to go!!

While the paint was wet I sprinkled the glitter over the paint. It worked and stuck like a charm!!

I used every color of blue paint that I own to paint my little bird houses. And you know I own A LOT of BLUE paint!!

Don’t these little blue birdhouses look so happy with snowflakes and icicles??? They are just the right blue touch for our Christmas decorations this year.

The best part about these blues it that they are right next to my computer desk and I get to look at them while I am working on blog posts for you.

There you have it. My “Monday Blues” I love having you visit my blog and on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk, Google +, Stumble Upon, Bloglovin’

I”ve Got The Monday Blues

It’s Monday!! How was your weekend?? We were busy hosting an Open House for our son and his lovely bride. We had amazing help, wonderful people visiting, and delicious food!! I can’t wait to show you the pictures!! But for now it’s time for “The Monday Blues“…

First off, This is from Sowdering about in Seattle:

Randi refreshed this dresser for her kids. Don’t you just love this deep blue with the black drawers?? She also hand painted each knob. So creative and talented!! Thanks for sharing Randi!! I look forward to having more blues from you very soon!!

Now for my own “Monday Blues“:

I literally found this by our dumpster on a Saturday afternoon. I was SO excited!! My Hubby was at work, so I called my neighbor, and he helped me haul it up upstairs to our place! Woo!! She was basically a frame of a dresser. Not even a dresser!!

I knew I wanted to clean her up, fix her up, and use her for the wedding festivities.

I decided to prime her and then think about a color and style for her.

So what do you think? From dumpster to wedding... Pretty good, huh?? I also added my book page garland for some texture.

I dry brushed BHG Teal Lake to add to the colors of the wedding. I have used this same color in other places in our home as well. All she needed was a little paint and some love.

She looked do pretty holding the drinks for the open house this past weekend!!

Not too bad for a freebie, huh?? I am excited to share “My Monday Blues” with you every week! I hope you will be excited to share your blues with me as well.
