Number Six!!

I have been tagged by Marija at Holding Court blog. I love her blog and her insight on fashion and design and sometimes just on life itself. She is so articulate and a very talented lady. I have been tagged before and  I did not play the game, but felt a little badly about it. There are just so many wonderfully talented, nice bloggers that I did not feel I could tag just a few for certain awards that had been bestowed on me. I always made sure that I went to their blogs and thanked them hopefully, in a gracious manner. Marija has tagged me with the sixth photo challenge and that is something I think I can participate in. I started blogging in January and oh what fun I have had. As I am writing this right now I do not know what my 6th photo will reveal. I will be right back and we will find out together, give me just a minute………..

Oh how fun!!! It is from my Black and White post. I loved this upstairs sitting area with its ebony floors and black table. The black and white settee was a favorite of mine.  You know how this girl loves her black and white. I really liked doing this. I wonder what the first photo is, in my sixth post ????

This was from my PPL post. I used this picture as an example of what plants can do for a room. I can not even imagine this room without this plant in the corner, can you?

Since we are doing 6’s why don’t we see what is the first picture in my 66th post?

Oh! This is the bedding for the playroom bed for when a sweet little girl spends the night. I have two sets of bedding- one for girls and another set of bedding for boys. You can see it on this post.

Now for my last 6! Let’s see what  the first picture is in my 106th post……..

In this post I tell you about how to disguise your bed pillow storage.

That was fun for me. I hope it was for you.

Greek Key Footstool and Spray Paint!

I walked in to the store the other day and what did my eye’s see? A footstool!  Not just any footstool but a metal Greek Key footstool. I love the Greek Key pattern. I did a blog post on it here.  I had to use my imagination because the footstool was in a bronze metal with a brown micro-suede fabric. You all know that I am not a brown or a micro-suede girl. I looked at it , I lifted it. Aaaah! Yes! it was nice and heavy, definitely worth purchasing……….

Now what do you think I did with this footstool?

I have finally joined all of you out in blog land and I bought a can of flat black spray paint and primer.

I have to give my Hubby the credit for the spray painting. I have been known to make quite a mess of things when I have paint in my hands so he volunteered to paint it for me. While the paint was drying I proceeded to cover the brown micro-suede with a fabric that makes me smile every time I see it……

I am so pleased with the way it has turned out. Now, one more question. Where do you think this new foot stool will be going? If you guessed the front porch you are absolutely right.

Oh! I forgot to tell you the best part. This nice heavy metal footstool was purchased at none other than Big Lot’s. Can you believe it? I purchased it for $45.

If you would like to see another footstool makeover be sure and visit my friend Averill’s blog, Odi et Amo here.  I love what she did in her master bathroom it is wonderful!

Porch “Good News”

Do you have a friend that just seems to come to the rescue just when you need her? Well, I do!! I was talking to my friend and we were sharing Spring Fever stories and the projects we were working on and the one’s we wanted to do in the future. I just love talking about stuff like this with my friends. Anyway, I  started telling her the porch saga and my plans to make a No-sew panel for the porch. She offered to actually sew it for me!! Yippee!! I still can not believe she is going to do it for me. I am one very lucky girl!! Oh I forgot to tell you  that I bought 3 yards of fabric and then upon further thinking about it I actually needed 6yds since the panel is double sides, Duh!! That meant another trip to the store for more fabric.
My sweet, sweet friend made the panel today and hopefully we will get it hung soon. So I am on my way, except for the replacement cushions. I also need to find a rug but have one in mind. Soon, I hope, I will be done. I just hope by that time the flowers don’t die and need to be re-potted.
