Say goodbye to boring, brass, and brown. Say helloooo gorgeous! This front door/entryway has been about a week long process, but feels much longer.... I started by painting the columns (while Miss L napped one afternoon) and the door's trim with Dutch Boy's "Ashen". It's an exterior primer/paint in one, and I was pretty impressed with the coverage. It took one good all over coat, then one more touch up here and there.The old icky brassy windowswere replaced with simple ... Read More about Hello Gorgeous!

Boring, Brass, and Brown

Quick Trip to NYC!
I just returned from one of my favorite places, New York City! I met up with two of my favorite and oldest friends, Annette (middle), and Erika (right).

I am tweaking the idea just a bit. Miss L will be wearing a ... Read More about DIY Owl Halloween Costume
Chicken Wire Frame!
It's Monday again! I've been itching to publish this post since I finished this project on Friday afternoon! I've got to say, this chicken wire frame came together very nicely! DIY Chicken Wire Frame I saw this idea on Pinterest ages ago but didn't have a frame that was just right for the project. I found this nice large wooden frame at Goodwill (one of my favorite places to hunt for milk glass and potential projects) for $2. I snatched it up and brought it home. Like many ...
