Score !!!!!!

Good Wednesday morning, I just couldn't wait to share the deal of the day.. I took Tia to work this morning set her all up and went to look around goodwill, And your not going to believe what I found... Are you ready?

Why in the world would someone get rid of this Ethan Allen Desk?
This thing is solid, And now it's mine for the bargain price of $22.00,
I need a desk so bad.... Not sure how I'm going to transformer it or where it's new home will be, But you guys will be the first to know.
                                 Sorry the pictures are bad

In The Mail

Got home yesterday and had a surprise in the mail, About a month ago I had a giveaway from Ramsign and I said yes. So I had emailed them and said I would love to have one. The company was gracious enough to send me my very own. And just let me tell you that this porcelain number sign is just Beautiful... If you ever want to order one do so you will NOT be disappointed. I can't wait to put it on my home....

Hope you all have a wonderful Day (rainy here) But great weather to start a fire in the fireplace.....

As Good As It Gets for Now

So it's Saturday and I'm a week late getting pictures up of the garage  seems like when I finally see the end of a project something always stops me cold in my tracks, There are so many thinks that I wanted to get done out here But I'm happy that it's painted and got most of my patio furniture put up for the winter... Got an easement to Epoxy the floor and well that's not going to be in the budget, So I think in the spring I will buy the kit at Lowe's and do it myself...  

 My sweet neighbors Carla and David came over to help me, Thank you so much.... 

Look what I found a Home Goods the same ones that are in the Ballard Design Catalog... Score....

  Love the shelving unit from Ikea But I'm still shooting for a Shed in the spring time.....

 
Painted the inside of the garage door too....

And the patio furniture is put away for the winter....

I know it's just a garage but I'm so happy to get it done and over with. Everyone have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Before The Cold Weather Hits

Hello, Hope everyone is having a good week. I have wanted to tackle this project for three years now " THE GARAGE" just to let you all know its the one room that has never gotten any attention in the seventeen years that I have lived in the house. Every time we have block parties and cookouts We set up the food and I put out a long table and chairs in my garage I have always cleaned the floors and made sure that everything was cleaned up so it doesn't spoil any ones appetite .... But still was so embarrassed that it just looked gross... So let me show you what I am working with.

And a sneak peek of the new color.... I estimate that I will be done with and ready for the big reveal by this weekend... So I'm grabbing a cup of coffee and headed out to the garage. Have a great day.

A little Something White for Fall

Hello all, So after resting for a day(Yea right) I thought I should get started on putting out some fall decorations, Do you remember the junk I picked up during the summer HERE, Well the old tool caddy I dry brush painted white and used it for the center piece for the kitchen table..Love it......And just wanted to point out I decided to paint the inside trim of the door the same color as the cabinets I thought it would tie it all together.... 

I also found this great table cloth at Tuesday Morning, I rarely go to this store,But I'm glad I stopped in.... Have a great day 
I'm joining Kristin at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for Tuesday's Treasures... And Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday

Finally Done

Good day to everyone, I am finally done painting the house. And I couldn't be more happy with the way it turned out. I felt like I would never see the end of this project. Did you all know that you can paint siding? Well you can , I used Valspar Duramax exterior paint. It has Maximum fade resistance, It also has Mold,Mildew and Algae resistant coating plus self-priming all in one... Great stuff, it made such a deference in the appearance of my home. Also before I show my photos I want to share with all of you a small hit. If you use Satin Finish witch comes out slightly glossy cobwebs do not stick... So with that in mind here we go..

With the new paint I had a new storm door installed in oil rubbed bronze and new decorative hooks put on the shutters. thanks for being patient with me as it took me forever to do this . hope everyone is having a great start to fall.... I am joining Fishtail Cottage for outdoor Fall decor. Come join in the fun

Cracked Pepper

Good morning everyone... WOW I cant' believe how time flies by, I have been so busy with getting ready for fall that I have not had any time to blog, I had the BIG Five O Sunday and I will have to say It was the best Birthday ever. My friends and family came over to celebrate with me It was truly the perfect day... So back to what I have been doing, As you all remember I decided to paint the shutters and door, Well as I loved Kim's idea of a spiced pumpkin color the HOA did not approve it, So I went with Cracked Pepper, Now as you all know that once that went up the house was in desperate need of paint so that's what I am doing now, Sometimes I wonder if I may be crazy..... I also got rid of all the stuff surrounding the house, Today Lowe's is coming out to install the new storm door and then I will start putting out my Fall decorations. So hopefully I will have a big reveal on Monday. So until then keep your fingers crossed that I can get the rest of the house painted... Did you know that you can paint siding???? The make a special  paint just for that. I will blog about that later. So have a great day and wish me luck....


Hugs

I'm Still Here

Good morning everyone, Just wanted to check in and tell everyone that I'm still here, I've been busy with Tia and work, Not much time to blog lately, But I have been checking on every ones blog about what you all have been up to. I have been debating on painting the front door and shutters and cleaning up the garden so I can get ready for Fall decorations. So I have a question for you. Help me decide what color to paint, The teal has been there for ten years and I think I want to got darker, But I'm open to anything So let me know by next week and I will pick for your suggestions ... Here is what it looks like now.

I think I'm getting rid of the little bench too, It's old and no longer my style, Not sure what I will replace with but it has to go as well.
Hope you all are having a good week and a great Holiday weekend.
