How I Painted My Piano
I am shy about writing a” how to” post since the paint is barely dry and I haven’t lived with it long enough to know if it’ll stick. I’ve had a lot of questions about how I painted my piano, so I’m going to tell you.
The Painted Piano
After a year of mulling it over, I finally did it.
I painted the piano.
It wasn’t easy, fast or fun. But I am so, SO thrilled with the results.
The Back Deck
We built this deck off of our kitchen a year or so ago. Then we just tossed some chairs we already owned onto it and didn’t think about it again. You now how it goes…no money, no time, other things to deal with.
Oil Paint Breakthrough
I have always been a bit scared of oil based paint. The last time I used it was circa 1986. That project turned out so badly that we eventually trashed it.
I’ve painted a lot of furniture…..
Getting Ready for the Living Room
I am getting ready for a break. A break from school. A break from running around. A break from cooking…..oh. I don’t really get a break from cooking? Drats!
But I am going to take a week off to “tweak” my living room.
IKEA packing
We loaded up at Canton. I got some old shutters for the porch, some glass domes, place card holders, and more.
The van was full, but we had to stop at IKEA
HGTV Green Home
Have you seen the HGTV Green Home? All I can say is…wow!
You can enter to win this beautiful home in Plymouth, Mass. once a day through June 4th. But don’t bother because I am going to win it.
My Nursery, Part 2
You’ve seen three walls in my nursery. The fourth wall is so packed with “stuff” that I waited to overwhelm you with it….until today.
Welcome to my shelves full of vintage toys. Most of these toys belonged to either me or James or someone in our family. Some were used by our older kids.
My Nursery, Part 1
I have decided to slowly show you around my house. You’ve seen my kitchen. Next I’ve got to show you my vintage nursery.
Here’s the view when you walk in the door….
