I’ve Got The Monday Blues

December 3, 2012 By Meegan 8 Comments

 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!!

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 love your branches and birdhouse idea! I was googling for some January decorating ideas, specifically something with blue and some sparkle, and this popped up. Definitely going to JoAnn’s once the snowstorm clears! Thanks for the great idea!
