blogger is down

So sorry for the crazy post yesterday friends! Blogger has a bug, and it deleted a good portion of my post including the finished shots of the candle holders and some of the directions...I decided to go ahead and take the post down so that it could be done right! :)...
 I tried all day to upload the new photos and change the post, and it will let me upload text , but no photographs :( I will try again another day!

Hopefully this issue will be fixed soon!

Have a great weekend!

{Blogger is still giving me fits about uploading photos! I sure hope this mess is fixed soon.....or I may be heading to Wordpress!}

We have so many summer projects on our list....I hope we can get them all done! One of the projects is to switch the guest bedroom and my son's bedroom. My boy is needing more room to spread out, and the existing guest bedroom is so much larger than his tiny little room, so we think it is time to create a new space for both him and our guests.

I want to create a really comfortable inviting space for our guests, and I think this saying on the wall over the guest bed would be wonderful. I would probably change the "my" to "our"...and use a different font...but I think it is super inviting. I also love the upholstered fabric headboard, and have the perfect pink/beige chenille print that I could do this with......hmmmm....like I said...hope we can crunch it all in! 

My eyes are bigger than my decorating stomach! I have decided though, that I need to spend some time in my own house sprucing up and styling.....it has been too long.

Chromaticity

I never cease to be inspired and amazed by the colors of nature. This year my peony bush yielded 5 blooms! I could not believe my eyes when it popped up and I saw those gorgeous round petals about ready to pop....I'm a lucky girl. I literally bury my nose in them every morning , and the aromatherapy is just amazing....

 ...and here is a sneakity peakity of my new piece....nature inspired this color combo for sure....and I'll show you the rest on Monday....I'm so stoked about the stripes...

...love the bright fuschia in these flowers as well, although I don't know about a bright hot pink piece of furniture for me personally....{I tend to lean more towards the greens and lighter pinks}...but you never know!

Look around today....you are surrounded by color and beauty....don't let it go unnoticed.

Happenings....

I jumped right back into the studio today and worked on something I have been needing for a while. I am thankful that my friend Tony was willing to help me, and he built these awesome tables that I can use for work space, and display during events and shows. I am super stoked and I love them....love them! Thank you Tony!

Be sure to check out Tony and Lisa's work on their site Zoa Art....they make beautiful things, and I am the proud owner of a ring that I have a hard time taking off my finger! I am thankful that this talented husband and wife duo have moved into the arts district and are just a "yell out the front door" away.

(Better photos coming...I'm organizing away...and getting my game plan on :)

Introductions

I would like to introduce you to my weekend....

This little sweetie wanted to come see me, but just could not muster up the courage...

...Big Momma was totally chill just chewing her large mouthful of cud...

...and this one was the bravest of all of them, and came right up to the fence to see me....love

...this little doggie always looked like she was smiling, and she has a reason to be...some bad people dropped her off on this country road and left her....but little did they know there was a family who would take her in, and she is living high on the hog let me tell you...

...so many great rusty pieces

...and anything with the word "piddlin' " in it is a good thing...

...the green, green grass, the gray sky, the rusty metal.....too good

...these paths caught my attention, and I found my mind wandering down them

...more barn wood and rusty goodness

...and some red and white prettiness...

...and last but not least this old gal who was just too cool!

... Every time we visit my husbands family in Kentucky I am blown away by the beauty of the land, the peace and quiet, the simplicity of life, and time that seems to be standing still.

Moments with nature, and with these beautiful animals has charged my batteries.....and made me want to leave everything with reckless abandon and buy a farm!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

I will be working on new furniture this week, and photographing another house full of Knack that you all are going to love!

.....really fun things on the docket! Woot!

 Wonderful. Fantastic. Tasty on a stick. 

The rust colored chair with the great wooden arms.....the cowhide with the pink chairs...the green table....and throw in a comfy sectional for good measure? I'm in!

Fun. Fun. Fun.

Chromaticity

....It's all about this color right now. Plum.

I know.... Crazy.... But, it's true. 

These lovelies brought on a creative spurt that was bonkers....
