Happy Monday all! Well, it is officially summer break for us here. My son had his last day of school last week. Our weekend was filled with graduation parties and Father’s day get togethers. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend and Father’s Day. I did manage to paint the small “shutters” pictured in the post here yesterday. I’ve yet to hang them but hope to get to it today. I’m so excited about them…they turned out great. I think so anyway. Will show you all later this week. ~ OH, and I have an exciting GIVEAWAY (my first!) starting

Repurposed Bi-Fold Doors {Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint}

Nancy — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:16:07 +0000

Bi-fold doors or really big shutters? Well, they were bi-fold doors…re-purposed into really big “shutters”. See? Bi-fold doors. One of my thrift store finds at $5 each. (a little peek of the wall before ‘faux’ Board & Batten we put up recently) I had originally planned to use them in my shop as a decorative partition between mine and the other space beside me. That didn’t work out so I put them out onto my screened porch for the time being….on each side of the french doors. I thought, hmmm, they look good there. I had planned to use them

Happy Monday all! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! It was a busy one for me and I will have a few posts for you later in the week on some of the projects I’ve been working on. Lots going on around here. My Study is painted and now we just need to build the bookshelf/cabinet on the back wall. Still trying to decide on the wood counter tops for the kitchen. I think the ones we wanted originally are out of our budget at the moment with all the other things we are redoing/replacing in the house. Sooooo…….you’ll

Happy Monday Evening everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We went out on a friend’s boat and had a wonderful time. Not much got done around here in terms of projects though! But I suppose that is okay. You know what they say….all work and no play,right? But time to get back at it today! I’ve been painting my front room (Study) a new color (yes, I just REpainted this same room last year). All cut in and ready to roll. Can’t wait to share my room tours with you. Getting closer to being done with a few

Nancy — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:06:50 +0000

I think it’s pretty much a given that I love Chalk Paint, right? Just take a look at all of these fabulous projects that have been done with it…… You can see my “Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®” board on Hometalk here. It’s amazing and I’ve used it on more things than I can count. (and some I’ve yet to share with you here like my kitchen cabinets and kitchen island…posts on those coming soon) Yes, my house is pretty much covered in it. Just take a look at my Before/After page… most of what is on the page was painted

Armoire Transformed Twice…Finishing Up with Chalk Paint

Nancy — Thu, 30 May 2013 10:00:00 +0000

I bought this armoire about 6 years ago at a consignment shop. But it didn’t look like this when I bought it. Yeah…no. And it didn’t look this way after I painted it…the first time. Yes, I painted it twice. If you read my blog regularly you aren’t surprised, are you? Here is the before, first color and the “now”…forever paint. Ha right. More like “for -now” paint. It had a natural looking wood finish that didn’t seem to have any type of poly on it when I purchased it. I left it that way until last year when I
