YES ITS ALREADY A BEFORE AND AFTER

I HAVE A SMALL MET MONDAY, ITS MORE OF AN EXCHANGE BUT I GUESS ITS STILL A BEFORE AND AFTER.


SOME OF YOU SEEN THE PHOTO OF THE BLACK AND WHITE DRUM STOOL I PURCHASED. YES, I LIKED IT VERY MUCH BUT AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF LIVING WITH IT, I DECIDED THE PATTERN MAY NOT WORK WITH OTHER PLANS I HAVE FOR THE ROOM AND IM A LOVER OF SOFT NEAUTRALS, BUT DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO STEP OUT AND ADD SOME COLOR, ITS A SOFT COLOR BUT ITS COLOR. SO THE BLACK AND WHITE ONE WENT BACK AND I BROUGHT HOME THIS BLUE/GREEN ONE, AND I LOVE IT! ON MY MONITOR IT LOOKS MORE BLUE BUT IN REAL LIFE ITS REMINDS ME OF A RETRO SOFT BLUE/GREEN COLOR. I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT THE TOP IS LARGER AND FLATTER. IT SITS BESIDE MY CHAIR, SO I WILL LIKELY JUST ADD A FEW OF MY FAVORITE MAGAZINES ON TOP. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY, AND THIS ISNT OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR ME TO CHANGE MY MIND SO QUICKLY....LOL

DONT FORGET TO HEAD OVER TO SUSANS BLOG "BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH" TO CHECK OUT ALL THE OTHER WONDERFUL MET MONDAYS

COULD NOT RESIST....MY NEW FIND

IM PARTICIPATING IN THE SUNDAY SHOPPING, SORRY IF THINGS ARE LITTLE BACKWARDS, I DISCOVERED THIS NEW EVENT AFTER I HAD POSTED MY NEW FIND.....TO JOIN IN THE FUN GO TO http://bridalblooms4u.blogspot.com Interior rooms and sign up

Do you ever have a home decor item that you must have? (i think i most likely have a list) I have wanted a drum stool for what seems like forever. This one caught my eye, they are the neatest thing, and multifunctional too, can be used for extra seating, a side table or just to admire. They also come in many patterns, shapes and colors. It was spring break here and we normally take the girls away for the day to shop and this was my treasure that i brought home....im so thrilled with my new find.

Im actually sad to say that the spring break is coming to an end, the girls will be back to school monday and hubby back to work.

MY OWN ART....MMM!

ARE YOU YOUR OWN WORSE CRITIC???? I DID DO DECORATIVE PAINTING FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS, WHICH IS DONE MOSTLY BY PATTERN WITH SOME FREEHAND. I DECIDED TO TRY MY HAND AT PAINTING MY OWN CANVASES, (IT WAS FUN) BUT IM ALWAYS UNSURE OF MOST THINGS I CREATE HOWEVER THEY ARE STILL HANGING IN OUR BEDROOM BECAUSE HUBBY WANTS THEM THERE,,,HE IS A SWEETIE! THE PUSSYWILLOW PAINTING I DO FEEL IS SPECIAL AS IT WAS A PROJECT THAT MYSELF AND OUR 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DID TOGETHER, I PAINTED THE BRANCHES AND SHE USED HER FINGER TO PUT ON THE BLOOMS.
