Perennial Garden

I have really gotten into more gardening this year and landscaping. I'm getting ready to take a spot on the side of my house were there are big trees and nothing grows under it and plant a perennial garden with large rocks and a rusty patina bird bath, i have also found a fountain that i want for a place between my house and garage. These are some of the flowers that will be planted.

Dogwood In Bloom

After work today, I decided to take some pictures, I notice in the back yard all the leaves and dogwoods in bloom. It just was so peaceful and the lake was shinning like diamonds. So relaxing after a day at work.

Farm Table Redo

Hope everyone had a great weekend, it has been so beautiful here. Thought i would share a project I did on this old farm table. The farm table had been orange and then they tried to paint it a brown color. I decided I wanted it to be cream, so I sanded and painted it with a cream satin paint and then distressed the heck out of it. I love the results. Now i don't know if i want to put it on my back porch, let my daughter have it as a desk or use it in my kitchen.

More Flowers

More flowers around the house....Hope your Sunday is full of peace and joy....Blessings Regina!!!

Flowers Good For Your Soul

Wow....What a busy week, sorry for not posting i have been really busy at work. I decided to visit some of our local nurseries today and just got so inspired to start yard work. I know my grandmother tells me don't plant anything until after May 10th, but I couldn't help my self.

Happy Easter

Old Lamp

Wanted you guys to see this old lamp i bought at an estate sale. The little old lady had lots of lamps, but this one caught my eye. I just love the crystals hanging from it. This is in my foyer as you come in.

Thrifting On Thursday

At lunch today I decided I needed a little thirfting. I found this old metal plate "The Charms Of Country Living" and a small picture stamped Brooks and Streams. The sconce is heavy brass. I love how all of the golden rusty patina works together.

Dreaming

This is what I'm dreaming of.......What beautiful pictures, one day I hope to go to an Island and see this for myself!!!!!

Love these pictures, I would like to have another pond someday. I had one at our old house, I did everything, I even dug all the dirt myself, gathered rocks of the side of the road to planting all the flowers. When we sold the house the one thing they talked about was my pond. It wasn't a large pond but very manageable.

Shopping After Work

Sorry I haven't been posting, but I have been in training for a new job with test every day and driving 2 hours a day I have been to tired. I have 4 more weeks, boy has my brain been challenged. On the way home today I needed some inspiring, so I did a little shopping and bought this cute stick thing, you can fold it up and you can put anything down in it. The bunny I couldn't resist. The flowers are down in a nest. I thought they looked so springy.

Beautiful Furniture

I have a thing for beautiful furniture with a french influence. I know painted furniture is hot right now and I do have some through my house, but there is something about rich woods with hand carved details.

Easter Is Almost Here!!!

Things Around The House

Hey I'm back!!! My computer has been sick with a virus and we had Dr. Norton to help him. We have had trouble with alot of our files. With training for a new job and not being able to blog has been stressful. The picture of the wrought iron piece is a goodwill find for $10.00, it is a old piece that hangs as a coat rack. I might use this as a pot rack, this would be great hanging over my island. The secretary is a piece I have in my kitchen that I purchased 4 years ago, it is all custom hand painted. I really enjoy mixing hand painted furniture with dark woods.
