Porch Revision

 

Had a revision on the porch scene.  Hubby re hung the 

curtains in front of the shutters like I had wanted, and I 

swagged the curtains back. I'm thrilled with how it 

looks now :-)

Here's one from the outside of the porch looking in.

Hard to photograph but here's an up close view of the chandelier I'm making. I originally had traded it for something. It was cream colored so I spray painted it pink and added the crystals. Now I'm in search of some        opalescence beads to hang from it and just the right lights and it will be finished. I'm loving how its looking, the curtains and the chandelier are just how I envisioned it 2 years ago so its fun to see it finally come to fruitation.

The fun thing is that I didn't buy anything to do this....the curtains were from my office, the shutters from a friend who was getting rid of them and the chandelier base I traded for it, the new pillows and blanket are from my sister Kathleen who passed away. I kept them tied up in bag and couldn't bring myself to use them for the first year. They smelled just like her perfume and it was just too much of a reminder, but  now when I see them its like having a part of her out there with me :-)

Colorful Porch Clean up

Spent the morning getting things cleaned up 

from winter and ready for the summer weather.

Here's my colorful porch with new pillows and our

freshly painted rug. Each year hubby repaints it with spray 

paint and says he doesn't think it will make it one more 

season but it does. 

Here's my side yard put together with bi fold 

doors scavenged from my friend and the children's

bench my hubby and son found in pieces along side

the road.  They brought it and the white table behind 

it home. Painted, fixed and put it back together 

good as new!

Banners & Spring!

I was cleaning up things the other day

after having a banner making day with my niece

and created this mini fun banner it measures about

2.5". I'm thinking of putting some sticky magnets on

the back and making a fridge banner out of it!

On another note...

I thought I'd share a picture hubby

just took of our house all lush and green!

Living in a hot zone it doesn't stay lush

green for long.

Come sit on the Veranda and swing...

Create Your Own

I'm loving how colorful my porch/veranda has become! After having the house painted in the fall things are slowly coming together. I painted the door in photoshop to see what color I'd actually want to paint it...I still haven't decided yet. After looking up the definition for veranda our porch definitely qualifies as one so I've decided to call it that from now on...I feel so relaxed and peaceful when I sit and swing on the veranda, the colors inspire me creatively!
