I’ve Got The Monday Blues (on Tuesday)

December 18, 2012 By Meegan 6 Comments

“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!!

Christmas/Winter Sticks

December 19, 2012 By Meegan Leave a Comment

I just love bringing the outdoors in, don’t you?? That is why I love my Christmas/Winter Sticks. Everyone who enters our home comments on my Christmas Sticks. These sticks truly make me smile every time I look at them.

I got them last year when the gardener was cutting down a tree right outside our balcony. I asked him if I could have a few branches. He looked at me funny, and said, “Well, okay.” Little did he know what I had envisioned for these bare branches.

I just love these branches all year long. They are right next to me while I write my blog posts.

But, adding a little winter just makes me smile even more!!

Don’t they look so happy with my birdhouses??

Another view…

I have a thing about icicles and snowflakes, too.

I think I might even leave the birdhouses, snowflakes, and icicles up though January. What do you think???

Thanks Mr. Gardener for my free branches!! They make me smile everyday!!!

I Need Your Ideas

January 19, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

I need your ideas!!

I love decorating for Christmas. Yet, I also love taking it all down. The New Year comes and then I want to make changes all around. This is what is rolling around my head right now:

I really like how our living room came out, after 2 years of working on it.

After putting all the Christmas decor away, I staring thinking it might be fun to move this sofa into the TV Room.

Maybe even moving the bookcase into the TV Room. Love my bookcase! Or moving “the Girl” picture to the TV room and placing my vintage craft cupboard there with the family gallery wall above…

And, I could move this into the TV Room-leaving more space in the living room. Hmmm…

I could move this sofa to the living room. Leaving the mirror and side table here.

I could hang “the Girl” picture where the family gallery wall is… And take the cupboard in the living room too…

And this wall the same. Love these frames!!

I am also thinking about moving this rug to the living room. Good idea??

So basically-I want to move the 2 sofas and the rugs, craft cupboard and pictures, so far. You like how I said, “So far”?? Once the creative juices start-it is hard to stop.

So, tell me, what are your ideas for these 2 rooms? Leave them how they are, or go with my thought process?? I would love to hear your creativity and ideas!! Please leave comments, email, FB me to let me know. I am excited to hear from you!!

Thanks for letting me share my ideas daily with you! You are the best!!

Still working on My Giveaway for the end of January!! You are gonna love it!!
