AFTER and BEFORE

2011-07-22T12:26:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of my after and before projects I have been working on.

The oak dresser was painted a pretty robin's egg blue. The vintage end tables I painted four shades of ocean blue. The ornate brass memo holder had lost it's mirror so I tuned it into a memo/jewelry holder.

Cindy at My Romantic home was the first blog I ever looked at. She inspired me with her great furniture painting tips. I linking up with her Furniture Painting Party at http://romantichome.blogspot.com/

Forcing Spring

2011-02-09T14:08:00.000-08:00

Winter is holding on here in middle Tennessee. The snow is falling and my hopes of Spring are waning. I found a little hope hidden in these Pear tree branches. The blooms are slowly appearing as too my hope for Spring.

"Wide flush the fields; the softening air is balm;

Echo the mountians round; the forest smiles;

And every sense and every heart is joy."

Thomson

Other branches good for forcing are Star magnolia , Saucer magnolia, Flowering quince, Forsythia and Eastern redbud.
