pinterest project...

After my glamping season ended last October, I began a mini makeover on our kitchen.

Of course, 3 months later I am still not finished, but I am so in love with our weekend project that I had to pop in and share it.

This corner of the room has seen a few different looks since I started this blog...

2010 and my shabby pink phase...

2011 (I still have this sign, I just moved it to another room)...

And now in 2015...

This was my inspiration that I found on Pinterest from

7th House on the Left...

My husband is so handy ~ didn't he do a great job!

Thanks Jim, I love them ~ and you!

Thanks for stopping by today and remember you can follow along with me on Facebook and Instagram as well!

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful day with family and friends yesterday!

On the menu today ~ leftovers!

There is nothing like a gobbler sandwich the day after Thanksgiving!

Also on the menu today is finishing up a makeover on a piece I picked up on my NH treasure hunting trip with the girls.

Before...

After...

I am bringing this in the shop tomorrow.  Today is day one of the Wrentham Country Store's Vintage Holiday Open House, and Jake and I popped in quick today to pick up a piece of furniture I bought.  The Shop Girls did an amazing job, the whole shop looked magical!  I will take you on a little tour next week!

You may remember last year I shared with you that my best friend Lisa's house burnt down on Christmas Eve.  Well, the good news is that construction is finally under way after a long year of waiting.  

Unbelievably, last night I got a call from our good friend Karen that her house was on fire!  Everyone is safe and the damage is not as bad, thank God.  We are going to see her later and help any way we can.  I know she would appreciate good thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much and I am glad you came by to visit!

wonderful in white...

Aaaahhh...my favorite day of the week...Wednesday ~ and thanks to Kathleen over at Faded Charm who makes the day look wonderful in white! Today I am going to share a few projects I have been working on. First we have this old ballot or mail box... Jim brought this home when we first married and he used to use it in his garage to hold his saw blades. I brought it into the shop a few times with no luck. I decided it would look wonderful in white...I wanted to do a little something different on the inside. Okay, okay ~ I admit it, I did not want to paint the inside. I decided to use old pages from some Munsey's Magazines that I had...I used all old advertisements... I also decided to leave some of the original wood inside. Yesterday I put it back in my little corner... On to my next project. I had this in my etsy shop for a while... Very lovely ~ but while treasure hunting I would see this same print quite often. You guessed it, I thought it would look wonderful in white...It nests in my room for now. The pretty lady is still there, I just placed my favorite scrapbooking paper over it and added a wonderful french image from The Graphics Fairy... I bought this print more for the frame ~ all the wonderful scrolls and beading. I think you will agree that it looks wonderful in white! Before you go and enjoy more eye candy over at Kathleens take a moment and visit my friends Anne and Jodie who I recently sent a little token to for making me feel so welcome and special since I started my little musings here. They are both so sweet and I thank them again for their friendship!
