It was not ALL work...........

This photo of the sunrise over the river was made by Bob at 5:30 am. If you know Bob this is incredible in itself ! I am so glad he did. These are just amazing. I would never, ever see this!

 

 

 

 

I have painted this small table numerous times. But I finally decided it would squeeze in beside the bed and make a nice addition. It is painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Florence.

Matching lamp. I added burlap to the shade and some flowers. The hydrangeas were from Mom's house. I just love them.

 

Another paint project. This old metal recliner was in need of paint.  

I used Krylon Dual paint that has primer and paint. It did a great job!
Barbara plans to get a new cushion 'cause she's
 claimed this for her summer reading spot!

We also had some wonderful meals on the porch. 

 

One day during our down time we took a ride to Destin, Fl. It is only an hour and 18 minutes. When you first see that beautiful "Emerald" water it just takes your breath away.

We had a delicious seafood lunch at Pompano Joe's.

 

 

It made Bob happy.

 

Then, it was back to work! I just want to say Bob was such a good helper. 

We improved this area of the kitchen immensley.

 

 We enjoyed the boats and skiiers going by. Especially the one's like this that had tunes blasting! Our favorites were the pontoon and small run-a-bouts, these made us green with envy! We want a boat!!

  I still have more pictures to share. Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for visiting. I would love some comments. Click on Comments below to add yours!

I know the lady would want this back.............

You remember the small cabinet I got for 5 dollars, don't you? Well, here it is all dressed up! I had so much fun making it into something really cute. I used Paris grey and Old white for doors and edges. Then I gave it a little dark wax to give it an aged look.


Then, to dress it up.... Florence was the perfect color
for the inside! My oh my!

 

 

Remember one of the knobs was missing? I found these in my collection of odd handles and knobs. Perfection.

 

 

 

 

Bob and I went "Goodwill Hunting" on Friday. (Stole that from the Nate show:) We were on the lookout for wooden salt & pepper shakers after seeing some really cute painted ones on Pinterest.
Found two sets, one at Goodwill and one at Odds and Ends (another of my favorite resale stores)I have some ideas for the shelf with hearts...I can always use more storage for my paints or scrappin' stuff.

I think this is a make-up holder. Thought I might paint it up for Camille or let her come and paint it. I think the other little cabinet is for jewelry. It is painted pretty cute, but knowing me I will have to repaint it!

And, here are those adorable S & P shakers. Just love the crank.

Here is my cabinet with the Florence painted accessories! I think this might be a great item to take to the river. It has that cottage look I think we are going for. 

I plan to put this in my car this week and show it to my neighbor I bought it from. But she can't have it back! Hope you love my projects. Thank you for visiting. Comment below if you can.
I worked on several projects today. Hope to share with you soon.
