Summer Evenings + Pillows

I have so say... I'm so stinkin' excited about my new pillows
I just got from Plum Cushion!  

I have long adored Shumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon and 

I don't think I could be more in LOVE!

More love...summer evenings! 

After many years and hours of  hard work in the yard, 

it is so fun to see things filling in and growing.

um...the purple overtook my yard this year!  

I don't know if I like all this purple? Undecided.

Spray Paint Happy

I have a problem....
I LOVE to decorate and re-decorate.  Right now, I'm feeling like I REALLY want to redecorate some of the rooms in my home.  In a serious effort to not buy new right now I am re-arranging, re-doing and re-painting many of my old things.  Here are a few of my finished items.

I spray painted the rooster white to make it a little more modern and fresh

The fruit was sprayed white as well and put into a glass jar

The old globe book stopper was sprayed metallic and then

I sprayed on old pitcher (on the 3rd shelf)a taupe color

The pear used to be gold and I sprayed it blue. The Conch Shell was sprayed cream.
(this was taken before the globe was sprayed metallic)

I re-arranged the chairs and moved the taupe to the family room

and moved the dark brown into the library. 

I like it because it adds more contrast, is a little more cozy, and basically it is just nice for a change.

I'm off to spray paint some more....
