Sweet Little Tags

Hi Friends ~

Hope you are all having a wonderful Mother’s Day ~

Wanted to share with you something I purchased from one of my blogger friends Ann

 ~ On Sutton Place ~

They are the sweetest clay tags ~ everything she does has such attention to detail.

As you will see when you go to her store.

Red & White Entry

Good Morning Everyone ~

Well it’s finally finished ~ My red & white entryway.

When stenciling the Welcome on the milk jug, and the stripe on the tabletop ~ I kept reminding myself, less is best, but it was so hard for me to only do the stripe & the welcome.   I wanted to add a heart stencil with little flowers on either side, but in the end I knew this looked best.

I went to a local nursery & purchased a terracotta pot ~ and painted it red ~ that really made the space a bit brighter.  I thought I had too much white, and it did need a little bit more red touches.

I am very happy with how it all came out.

Hope you all have a wonderful day ~ the weather is just beautiful ~

Much love,

A Little bit of France

Hi Friends ~

We had a HUGE garage sale this Saturday in our little town of Altamont.

It is an annual tradition ~ you find lots of good things.

I purchased this beautiful picture “A Little bit of France”

It is perfect in our office space, and I have it over my desk.  ~YEA~

Hope you enjoy it…

Enjoy your day, it’s a beauty.

Much love,

First coat of Stain

Hi Friends ~

I have to share the rocking chair with you ~ It’s only has one coat of stain, but it looks beautiful.

I will finish up with the second coat tomorrow ~

Pete is working on a little project too.  He is spray painting the milk jug & the round wood top which will hold a cup of coffee “OR” a glass of wine.

When we finish and have it all together I will post more pictures.

Enjoy ~

Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Much love,

Rose

New wreath & a few other outdoor surprises

Hi Friends ~

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful spring day.  It has reached 74 today ~ YEA ~

I have been a bit busy the past few day, Pete & I have decided to redo my rocking chair ~ (for outdoors)

He sanded it down yesterday, and I was going to prime, then paint it, but decided to stain it white.  I will be doing this tomorrow.

I redid my wreath for the front door & love how it looks.

I am keeping the theme of red & white ~ my rocking chair has red & white striped cushions also a cute little pillow in red with RELAX embroidered on it.

Hope you enjoy the pictures ~

Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Till next time.

Much love,

Rose

What a difference

Hi my friends ~

It took awhile, but I finally got around to post the painted banister.

Pete worked so long, and so hard to get the banister perfect, what an amazing job he did.

The staircase looks so pretty now ~ before it was so boring and plain.

We had a local carpenter do the molding, and we did the wainscoting ourselves.

The wainscoting is ~(Martha Stewart wallpaper) ~ we purchased it at Home Depot.

I want to do the same thing in our Dining Room (that’s for another day)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I think the weather is going to be super.

Much love,
Rose

So good to be with good friends and share special moments.

The dinner was great ~
