Graphite Is The New Orange

See the post on the original ‘orange’ door here.

 

Originally I thought Orange would add the 3^rd color “splash” in our bedroom but just couldn’t love the color enough to make it work

or to add more accessories to help it work….so I changed the door and added a softer pink/orange/rose color to our bedroom.

 
  

I changed the knobs on the top from brown to blue & white.

Also changed the wooden hook plaque to match.

Then I changed out the small hooks on either side to a more

bold look and added some accent white.

 

 

 

My photos are not the greatest today. 

*that's why this photo is so small but it gives you

the whole door.

Our lighting in the bedroom is quite dim and it was too

cold outside to take photos. 

I  didn't want to ask the hubby to move the door a

round the house to find good lighting as it's a very heavy solid door.

 My time for blogging and painting will slowly fizzle out for a few months are we go thru this moving phase. 

I’m not sure what anything will look like but

hopefully I can do some things to keep sane.

Have a good day!

 

Clay Bowls

I really wanted to share these beauties with you.

What a great way to show off the detail in doilies.

 

 

I use these bowls all around my house.  Alone they are a conversation piece on your coffee table.  Display your favourite tea light and watch how it illuminates the detail in the clay.  Use on the kitchen counter to keep your rings safe when you remove them.

 

I’m always looking for the doily with the most unique design so I can show it off.  And I’ve only shown you a few of the ideas I’ve done so far.  I’ve plenty more ideas, now I just need more time.

Have a great week!

Journaling May

Whew, almost didn’t make my deadline.   

This is going to be a very short journal entry! 

I can’t believe where the month of May went but it’s gone.  I haven’t had time to work with any furniture re-dos or anything.  

I opened an Etsy shop, which to me was a huge step forward, only to not have time to fill the store with my creations.

The reason for all of this is WE ARE MOVING!

 

 

I’m very excited that the day has come when we actually put our house on the market and it’s public knowledge.  Today, we took part in a town-wide garage sale.  It was fun to visit with some neighbours participating and it was a HOT day!  We were quite pleased with the sale and even showed the yard to quite a few interested parties.  Some were curious where we were going and some didn't know us but were very nice people.  After almost a year of working things thru and hoping this will all come together, it’s a huge sigh of relief to get the ball rolling.  Now that that’s done, the road from here only gets scarier, more exciting and busier.  So many, many options regarding our house sale and the purchase of a new home lie ahead.  But that will come later in another blog.

 

It makes me thrilled to know that we will be closer to our children and families.  I’ve missed birthdays, yard parties, anniversaries, shopping sprees, Sunday brunches, funerals, family get-to-gethers and Mother’s Day brunches’.  These two cuties were and I believe still are great friends.  Both are grown and married and very happy. Next May, I’m planning to see them on Mother’s Day. 

I’ll have to step up to the plate and help care for my parents who are in a Lodge.  Someday I won’t hear the same stories over the phone again but we’ll still chuckler over that. 

So, it’s time.  Time to go back home.

Till next time (and I hope it won't be another 31 days). I'm off to bed.
