If Walls Could Talk...

If my walls could talk they would say THANK YOU!!!

My great, great friend Brittany painted this for me at my request. I have an obsession with damask at the moment and I think she painted it beautifully. It's hanging in my foyer. I love you Brittany!

And this one is a gift from my sister-in-law, Erin. She painted a familiar scene from Fort Fisher, where we vacation every year. It is hanging above my bed and I love the colors and the thoughtfulness behind it! Thank You Erin (and Patrick.) love you both! You can check out her website http://www.erinrickelton.com/ and buy her awesome paintings!!

And another awesome gift is from Joni, from church, who I have known for oh, 14 years??? She is so thoughful and crafty I just love it!! She cross-stiched this for me and wrote a note along with it and its meaning. I can't tell you how much I love sentimental gifts and the story really related to me. It is sitting on a shelf in my living room and I see it everyday. Thank you so much Joni for your thoughtfulness and for you wonderful example of someone who will "be there." I love you!

Now....
I went to the Dollar store today and found some goodies! I found these white frames that have ribbon on the back to hang them on the wall and as I was walking down the kitchen aisle I saw these placemats!!! I think I might cut the fabric and put them inside of the frames!! It will look nice against my soon to be green walls in the kitchen! And then I got those 3 plaques that are TERRIBLY cheesy looking but I think I will sand, paint and take that silly decal off and do something fun with them!! And for a dollar?! C'mon!!!

I had a weekend project putting together this console table all by myself.

The final product as of today. I have to think hard about accessorizing it because I don't like it at the moment!

I have more projects under my belt, so be sure to check back! Hope all is well...
