No More Chairs!!!

                                                           I Say That All The Time...
                                                        I Really Don't Enjoy Chairs...
                                     I Painted Them White~Then Gave Them A Gray Wash
                                          Then I Dry Brushed The Whole Chair With White
                                      I'll Recover The Seat In A Cool Gray & White Fabric

                                             I Also Did A White Buffet With Gray Legs
                                            Super Cute!! There Headed To The Feb 2018
                                                        Antique Show In Wausau
Here's The White Buffet With Gray Legs I Was Talking About
I Have Some Killer Mirrored Windows To Display On Top
Then I'll Add Some Silver Décor Items
This Should Be Super Cute
  I'll Add Some Coral Lamps For Color
 Great French Colors~Soft White~Gary~Coral~And Silver 
I Can See Four Of These Window Mirrors I Did
  Hanging Over The Buffet~They Have Great Farm House Flavor  
 Sorry To Say I Will Only Have Two At The Feb Show
But I Do Have Like 30 In Storage 
                            Will Have To Wait For Warm Weather To Do Anymore Windows

Nov 19th Post On Trends For 2018..

                                            We Left Off With 2018 Color Trends
                                                              Navy & Brown      
                                         Here's What I Think About Design Trends  
                                 Interior Design Trends Are Much Like Fashion Fad's  
                              We All Had To Have Them~Then They Go Out Of Style
                            Ask Your Self Do I Really Want Navy Dinning Room Walls??
                                       I Followed "The Farm Fresh" Trend Last Year
                              Did I Really Think I Wanted That Look In My New Home??
                                                Well "Yes" But It Didn't Last Long...
                                         I Guess I Wanted "The Trending Now Look"
                                      I Went Back To What I Truly Love~My Style!!
                                                        Buy What You Love!!
                                                    Happy Decorating In 2018

                            PS..If Your looking For The Farm Fresh Look Check Out

Leave It As You See It
Add A Dark Wax
 Or Add Pearl Glaze 
For Now I'm Going To Leave It~Why
It Has Such "Strong Bones"
It Needs Nothing Else
John's Two Cents Why Did You Paint The Pulls??
