dream home

I really, really want to live here.  It’s an old church turned house.  The big open space, beautiful windows, all the possibilities.  I came across this home in a nearby town, but we aren’t looking to move so I’ll just decorate in my mind.

morning mantel

My mantel right now is home to a painting in progress and a flower to try and brighten my day.  Just out of view, the sick kid on the couch, sigh.   (you should hear the commentary from my kids when I put up an in progress piece to look at, ‘he doesn’t have hands,’  […]

white wash

I am repainting our entry and kitchen.  I do just a small section a day, it feels less overwhelming that way.  (I take a break from painting to paint, hmm)  It also forces me do some spring cleaning as I go, always a good thing.  My daughter, usually one to protest any change to the […]

what i do when i get bored with the view

I am an obsessive compulsive furniture rearranger.  This old potting bench used to be down in my studio/office but wasn’t really being used…now,it’s my living room work station.  I’d like to put this chair there, but right now I am using one of our dining chairs.  It remains to be seen if this will stay […]

inside out

I picked up my monthly lot of the dying breed known as magazines today and oh my.  I found my dream home in the latest issue of Inside Out.  The house is the perfect mix of old and new, kind of a barn meets loft feel, in a gorgeous setting.  Oh and they have horses.  […]

my favorite spot

so far as the decorations slowly go up: our entry way.  I made the ‘it’s beautiful here’ after seeing this, but sadly my wallet and I had a minor disagreement about it.  So I settled for my own handy work, 10 minutes and $5 later…

I heart

everything about this house…

(via dos family)  Ah, and yes, those would be painted floors.  I have decided to go for it and paint ours in the new year, can’t wait! I am now wondering: the stairs, because these are really so beautiful…

sofa plans

I recently bought this antique sofa via craigs list.  I probably won’t get to this ‘little’ project for a while, but I like planning and dreaming.  I’m thinking of white fabric, I know, I know, white sofa+2 kids and 1 dog = bad idea.   But I ordered some samples and have been trying my best […]

indulge me for a moment

If you visit me here regularly you may have noticed I am mildly obsessed with painting our hardwoods white.  I am 99% sure I would love the result (hubby not quite as much).  Talk of this is sacrilege to some and I’ve never seen it done in anyones home here despite our grey winters to which […]

redo

So just to keep things interesting, as one can never have to much to do, I started a little home project the other night.  I was never completely happy with the wood boxes we use as drawers (seen here).  I had previously covered them in wallpaper.  I took that off and have started covering them […]
