Finally....

   We have lived in our home for quite a few years and have so many things we would like to do to personalize it.  What am I waiting for??  Now is the time!:D  Don't get me wrong, I love our house, but it's just a bit too "safe" for my liking.  Time to shake things up a bit!

   I opened up this month's Mary Engelbreit magazine and saw some things I would like to duplicate...  Look at this amazing chalkboard with the greenery!  Just think, on the non-winter months you could hang colorful swags!  All you have to do is use chalkboard paint and then make a frame using some decorative trim.  Now to pick the right wall....

   This next picture is perfect for my wash room.  Jeff is going to make a coat rack for me so that I can hang a multitude of items.  Love the idea of hanging a wreath along with the coats.  We just chose the color for the wash room, too.  Spiny Sea Urchin by Martha Stewart.  It is a funky green and I love it!  Joy, the color makes me think of you!

   Isn't this huge wreath amazing??!  I don't know where I would put it in my house, or even where I could buy a wreath this large, but I loved the look of it!

   Simple and elegant.  I have always wanted potted Christmas trees on the front porch.  Just think, you could hang twinkle lights all year long!  Those simple little white lights give me the "warm fuzzies"- Christmas or not.:D  And those gorgeous wreaths...

   Hope you are all having the most wonderful morning!  Take care and don't forget to vote!
