Well bonjour! Oh my goodness! The Sun has graced us with her presence and I couldn't be happier!! So happy infact, I was inspired to try a Summer mantle. Not sure if I love it yet, it needs something more. I am just not so certain what that is ;) Here is the first Summer mantle tweak...
I welcome your expertise and hope you will let me know what can be improved upon. You know when you stare at the same thing for to long and it just looks 'funny'? Like the word cachectic/cachexia. Whenever I chart that, I think I spell it wrong...but it's not. HA!
I think it is going to be sunny all week! I have loads of projects on the go...hope to update you all soon! I am doing some furniture rearranging and everything so stay tuned!
Happy sun-shining May to you all!
Huggs,
Happy Mother's day to all the Mom's out there! You are such a blessing!! I love my Mom more than I can ever express and I celebrate everyday as Mother's day! As it should be!!! My Mom is selfless and unconditional. Truly blessed to have her in my life! I chose well :)
As for a long overdue Mudroom update: We had ordered a door from Home Depot and unfortunately, it was all twisted and nicked up on arrival. So back it went and another 3 weeks we had to wait...But it arrived (in better shape but still with a few scratches) and Josh and his Pops installed it! It looks GREAT! Only problem is it it not magnetic! So I cannot use a magnetic curtain rod as planned! How will I hang a window treatment????!!!!!!
Today, Josh's little (HA! I mean younger-he is 6'7") came and they tiled the room! It looks fantastic! We scored the tile free, labour free, and simply bought 1 bag of mud-so we are in the floor for $20.00! NICE!! This is the longest mudroom make over ever! But good things come to those who are patient correct????
I love the texture of this tile and LOVE the price! FREE!!!
We plan on grouting soon! Hopefully Josh will have energy to do it very soon, as in tomorrow! HA! Hope you are all having a fantastic day! I HEART progress!!
Since we moved in to our first (new to us) home my Hubby has wanted a new fridge. I can completely understand why for more than cosmetic reasons. First and foremost would be his 6'4" height! Having the freezer on the top and having to bend way down to find what he is looking for in the fridge is not pleasant. Its tricky for me at 5'2" so I can totally get his point. It just makes sense to have the freezer on the bottom, don't you agree? Second, he has had his heart set on the same fridge his parents used to have in the large townhouse we all shared. I love it too...but for Josh? It is quite specifically for the ice tray! I have to chuckle at this being the deal sealing selling feature (so did the sales associate). So last night, we became the proud owners of this pretty bottom freezer fridge!

So now I am super excited to plan out the organizing of this new beaut! It might be hard to sell Josh on letting me organize it as he currently has 'control' over the fridge layout! HA! Its his 'thing' and I am ok with that! :) I love Ashli's fridge post over at Maillardville Manor and plan on taking tips from her! Her organization is second to none! NONE! If any of you have any bottom freezer fridges, I would love some organization tips. What has and has not worked for you?
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a super dooper sunny weekend!

Hello all my blogland family! Three cheers for the long weekend!! I love EASTER! Mostly, I love the colors and the springtime beauty :) That being said it has been rain, snow, hail, wind and a bit o sunshine the last few days! Blue skies in the forecast for tomorrow and Saturday though-thank goodness!
I am so excited about my latest CraigsList find! We have been looking for a sweet little round side table to sit beside one or both of our Louis chairs in the living room. I was on CL last night and what do I see? The perfect little solid wood table! I scooped it up without a second thought! Here is a little sneek peek!
She had a big gash down her face so I did some minor surgery and patched her up with wood filler! Can you see the deep cut through the filler?
She will get a sand and of course primer and paint! BUT!! I may try something I have never tried before! What do you think about a grey primer and the top coating with white? I am hoping the distressing of the piece will show the grey through and look worn and add a bit of texture. What say the people of Blogland?
Please let me know if you have done this technique before and if you have any advice. I cannot wait for the sun so I can finish this little lady! Hope you all have a fantastic Easter! Much love to you and yours!
