HOME and B&W Pics

Good morning...it is a fantastic feeling

73 degrees out on the deck

with my sweet furbabes.

Yesterday evening a couple

hours before the sun set it was 

78! So uncalled for in 

HUMID

TN and esp in mid July.

But hey, I will gladly take it!

Remember this shelving

area I threw together 

without effort

much effort,

I meant that I worked 

on right at my stairway where you

have the regular normal rail?

Well when you come in the 

front door you see the stairs to 

the left and living room to the 

right of this unit.

Before heading to Cailf. it was telling me it

needed something and I found letters

(did I mention I love letters?).

They were a finsihed off set of 

letters in the craft section of Walmart.

Total of 97 cents each and all

I needed for what I thought to do

was 4 letters.

I needed to put something on the 

back to hang them with so 

they got put aside for a bit, at

least till my return and 

BAM

here they are hanging.

They came in this off white

color, rustic looking and 

I did not have to do anything

but hang them.

Have you figured it out yet?

I always have my eyes peeled

for what I think will look

great in my house.

Anyway, over visiting Theresa

the other day when I got her

home from the hospital and 

mom calls, I walk off into the bedroom

so that my conversation does

not bother T and her sister.

Whlle talking to mom I am taking

cell phone pics too...

killing two birds with one 

stone so to speak.

Here is an old doll that was

T's growing up.

Looked over to see lavender 

on a coke bottle...

A B&W version of 

this jumped into my head.

On the wall a mirror that belonged

to T's mom. 

An antigue like T and me!

HAHA

I think I was in a slump 

of a sorts that I did not see and

my trip to Calif opened my 

eyes to somethings again.

B&W photography, something 

that somehow at some given time

just fell out of my 

mind and thoughts.

Hard to know when that happened

or why but my trip, being away, 

being in the mts of Calif. opened

up my eyes again.

I am seeing not only in color

again but in B&W when 

I go to shoot something.

Took this at Debbie's house

yesterday when I met her

to go to the movies.

This at the Mill. A local mill turned

shopping area.

And T's backyard. 

Speaking on the Mill, I have a friend

that has a shop there where you 

rent booths. She had this amazing

piece that she posted on FB while

I was on vacation and I just

fell in love.

When I got home she still had

it. She was asking $65

but let me have for $50.

Let me also mention that 2 yrs ago her

hubby is the one that did 

the screening in of my deck.

My kitchen is one of those

things on the list of redoing 

however I need to finish upstairs

before working on the kitchen.

With that said...

I can't decide if this will be 

painted or left blue.

I had thought out doing the

kitchen in a light blue, removing the 

green wall paper and appling a form

of shiplap on the bottom secion of

the wall....

But I am stuggling with that

right now cause I have several 

red pieces I want to put in the 

kitchen also....

Gotta think on all that!

I love running across stuff like

this and sharing to see what you

think..

OH ME....I love them all.

I love the farmhouse but when I think

farmhouse I think of gardens and

farm animals....and then the thought

of WAY TO MUCH WORK

pops into my head!

The beach, which I love I think I 

would tire of due to lack of

GREEN.

The pulls me to the lake house

but then the Mt House calls to me

too. 

Lets just say I think I could be

happy in any of them esp if

someone wanted to give me one!

HAHA

And there was things to photograph 

and walls to hang it all on!

One last thing today~

T lives in a zero lot line

house like mine. She is about

7 mins down the road from me.

Unlike mine, where I own my side

and my neighbor owns hers, T has

rental next to her.

And when that happens you 

can end up with a mess.

Yards not being kept up, junk

outside and then the 

decorating aspect of the home

next to you...haha....

I own and my neighbors have

to live with that side of me.

However I think I do mine

in a cute whimsical way!

This is the fencing in the backyard

next door....

which gave me an idea.

I might have mentioned that I 

wanted to paint the back of 

my shed...problem being the only

way I would enjoy it is to

walk out back behind it.

But I have an idea and these

flowers just yelled at me.

HAHA...I am thinking and when 

I do that it can take a while to 

get around to going from thinking

to doing....but I see background flowers

like this, a fencing painting in front of 

them only so far up and at the end an open

gate where a black version of

a dog and cat will be painted looking into

the gate...

or maybe I should do that on 

the side of my home!

I have the greatest blank canvas on 

the side of my house!

Tomorrow I will share for you

how I feel being all 

all meds.

Stay tuned, same channel

blog and varying times!
