If you read my last blog about my painting of the month club, you see that I have a new entry from the one garage sale I went to yesterday, a treasure for $2! Hub sidekick did not smile or say a word. Little does he know I have a new vision! Ok, yes, I Read more about #180…$2 Color Infusion Staging for 2022[…]
Garage sales and antique malls. I confess, I am an addict and very passionate about my calling. This year I turned to art. Unfortunately there is limited wall space in my house, so I have had to recycle my paintings and pictures around the rooms. Then I found a tall metal easel for $10 at Read more about #179…Painting of the Month Club[…]
I found this beautiful wood box at a garage sale, marked $15, for 10. Plans are for a satin polyurethane inside and out and literally making a foot locker out of it, full of mani / pedi “stuff”! And a perfect top for my purse and swim bag. It’s that time of year I am Read more about #177…Repurpose, Renew and Mums the Word[…]
It happened again! #1daughterconnie and I went shopping at the fave, The Rusty Chandelier and there it was, the dancing picture. I had to have it. That’s me and Russ…..in my “skinny mind” but true when we were dating….not so long ago. Sixteen dollars. So I brought it home and slid it behind a Read more about #173…Treasure From The Rusty Chandelier Disruption Again………[…]
What is normal anymore? The world as I remember more then a year ago is gone. Broke. I never can get beyond broke. If something I treasure gets damaged, a crack..a stain……it’s in the trash and now a memory. Love and respect seems to be out the window. But rather then focusing on the negative Read more about #172…Returning to Normalcy?[…]
I cannot say enough about Jimmie Hatley and his company EXCEL CUSTOM COATINGS. We had such a terrible flood last summer. JUST remodeled our basement and it rained 10 inches. The drain in the other part of the basement was clogged and it filled up the whole downstairs with 3″ of water before we discovered Read more about #170…The Reveal. After the Flood[…]
Antiquing is my reality check! Get me out of the house, mask in hand and let me dream! Imagination drives me, who knows where…..and almost puts Russ in tears. IMPORTANT FACTOID…I am reading “The Good Times” by Russell Baker and quote..”(Mr. (Randolph) Hearst always liked plenty of exclamation marks, dots and capital letters.)” Unquote. Methinks Read more about #165…Back to Sabbatical, in Therapy[…]
It’s only been 5 months since the remodel and last week the flood came…and stood for 2 days, 3 inches deep before I went downstairs to get something……I thank God that it was ONLY rain water and not sewage. We were blessed indeed. We live on a hill, but then so do numerous springs around Read more about #156…And it Rained 10 Inches…A 2nd Re-DO[…]
So good to be outside. No choice there as there’s sooooooo much to do. The tomatoes are really coming on but will have to google if I’m watering too much as there appears to be some rot on the bottom. It’s always a learning process I tell you…but I seek answers constantly, making my mistakes Read more about #153…Tomatoes, Flowers and Dealing w/ THE Dining Room[…]
The canvas IS who I am….my passion, talents….re-design…re-purpose. This treasure I found recently at Rusty Chandelier. I hung it in a neat space above a credenza, but the lighting wasn’t right and the more I looked at it, the more I thought it should go above the fireplace….but it would have been dwarfed by the Read more about #151…The “I Ain’t Got It Right” Dining Room YET![…]
