my home.....my love.....my life
In my quest to perfect my Summer Porch, I decided I needed a new lamp!
Although I love my bird lamp, (and he will be back), he did not go with my color scheme!
So, off to Goodwill I went in hopes of finding a lamp for cheap that I could paint!
I scored BIG TIME!!!Continue reading
I don’t know why but I have acquired this “fetish” for rubber boots!!
Maybe it’s from growing up in Oregon where it rains A LOT and now, living in Texas where it rains VERY LITTLE, it reminds me of my childhood!
Do you remember last year when I took a pair of my husbands old rubber work boots, painted them and turned them into planters…….
…….and this year when I found these lovely beauties at the thrift store and added some faux flowers for the front porch.
They’ve moved to the side porch as they didn’t really go with my theme but I really longed for more boots so, I found the cutest little pair of children’s galoshes on Ebay for $3!
Aren’t they adorable????!!!!
All I did was add some faux flowers, set them by my message chalkboard and they are perfect!!!!!Continue reading

Hydrangea’s are a beautiful flower………. ……..I wish I could grow big, full beautiful bushes but, here in South Texas, this is as good as it gets!! If I get one bloom, I’ll feel like the hydrangea Gods have blessed me! So instead, I have to settle for faux. I had a project in mind with […]
I love silver plate……… platters, trays, cups, bowls……anything, really! We’re hosting a post-wedding party in our back yard in October for our son and future daughter-in-law. My vision is crisp white cotton tablecloths with a splattering of black and white checked linens, lots of burlap, crystal, candelabras, mercury glass, mason jars, candles, fall flowers such […]
I know it’s February………. ……..in fact, I’m tweaking my house for Valentine’s day today, BUT, I wanted to post my winter home tour (since I’ve never done one!). So, here ya go!
