This is my week-end project!
Well.... at least I hope I can get it done this week-end!!
Take a look.
I found this wonderful old door.....

I'm going to crackle paint it and then weather/age it a bit!

I can't wait!

And then I can't wait to show you where it ends up and what else I have in store for it!

Here's to staying cool!

This past weekend the City of Edmond held its annual Krazy Daze sales - it's always the last weekend in July!
Now I love a good sale!
Even in this horrible heat wave that we are having I just had to get out to see what I could find!
I was excited when I found this little jewel tucked back in a corner with a few things stacked in front of it! Not to be deterred - I went for it!
It was only $15.99...less 20%!!!
Now, I'm not exactly sure what I am going to do with it or where I am going to put it...Go figure!
But I was thinking that it might be fun to decoupage some black and white pictures onto it!
Stay cool!

I have been in the process - since Memorial Day! - of re-doing my guest room.
I got the curtain rod and curtains hung this week and I love them! I got rid of the levelors, finally - so, let the sun shine in!! The black drapes totally block out the light and the white curtains insulate to keep out the heat and cold, which is important since this window faces the west, they work great by the way! I still want to get some trim to put around the lamp shade. To the left in this picture you can see a hint of red...just wait until you see how this vignette turned out!!
A close up of the chest -

And here is my vignette...

I absolutely love how this turned out!! I actually have a collection of white plates and platters that I had intended to go here. After I got the walls painted the white just didn't pop! But boy,

do I love the red and black against this wall color! And, I love the different mediums - it's just not plates.

It is so funny how some things just come together! You have a little space.... and you find a little picture and there you have it!

Made these myself. Just printed these inspiring sayings on my computer and put them in a $3.99 Hobby Lobby Frame!

It never hurts to start the day out by being inspired!

Sometimes I really struggle and have to ponder awhile before I come up with a design layout. That is what I love about the blog world. I get so inspired when I visit other peoples blogs!

THANK YOU for inspiring me!

Hugs,

I wanted to share with you my latest accomplishment!
I have had these prints for quite some time and finally decided to take and have them framed.
I am really pleased with how they turned out!

And, I really love the frames!

Then, I had already bought these cute little roosters or are then hens - no matter. Look at how well they match the frames!

Now....I just have to figure out where in my kitchen to hang them!

When I figure out where they will land I will show you their new home!

I found this gorgeous plate at my favorite store ever TJ Maxx!
I had planned to hang it in my daughter's/guest room.
This is where it ended up!
I was washing it after I took off the price stickers, it slipped, as if in slow motion between my fingers and I chipped a quarter size piece off the edge!
I was, needless to say, MAD at myself because it truly was exactly what I had been looking for except way better!
Instead of throwing it in the trash, I simply buried the imperfection and yet look at it's beauty! You can't even tell that I scarred it!
Love it!

I just love these old pressed tin ceiling tiles!
They are currently hanging in my entryway.
One day at the hospital gift shop - of all places - I happened across these signs! Now, I will be the first to admit that I am pretty much a blue girl when it comes to decorating. Lately though, I have been incorporating hints of red. I love, love, love the red letters, but had to warm up to the green letters. Now, I love green! My eyes are green. Anyway, I decided I just had to have them! Now, I have had them a while because it takes me a while to figure out just the perfect spot. I decided to hang them in the entry way replacing the pressed tin ceiling tiles.

And, I just love them! It was hard to get a good picture because my entry way is not even quite 5 feet deep. I had to open up the front door and step out onto the porch to get a good picture.

They look old.

They have music incorporated into the background.

The background even looks like old postcards.

They are each different.

Yes, I love them and I love where they have ended up!

Now, to find a new home for my pressed tin tiles - I have a few possibilities!

Hugs,

Cindy
