Painting and Decorating

My plan for this summer (before I went back to school) was to do more blogging....that did not happen, because I have been painting and decorating and going to garage sales....and you name it....so here is a little bit of what has been going on in my world




This is the before picture of my living room. I just moved into this house last August and still need to paint the walls and get new drapes (or at least new valances)....








Painting the table black made such a transition from the country look...






Love the "Fern Green" paint I got for free, it really made a difference on this plant stand.



I have had this book case since 1998, I was ready for a change.



Much better, same "Fern Green" paint used on plant stand.



In addition to painting furniture, I have been decorating the walls. One of the projects was the cute idea that I found on someones blog site. I can't remember which one it was, but I liked the idea. If it is from your site and you are reading this, I apologize for not recognizing you, but yours looked so good, I thought I would try it.

Personality Plus

I found a new blog site ... /www.reneeswope.blogspot.com/ .....she talks about, Florence Littauer's book Personality Plus...in this book four personalities are mentioned 1. Phlegmatic 2. Choleric 3. Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996.

We stay at a condo on the beach every winter when visiting my family in Florida for Christmas. The seagulls fly by our 8 th story balcony every year and every day. Alas, every year I say “Hey, look at the birds”.   Unfortunately, no one listens, and they miss out. However, this year they accidently saw the birds, it was a fluke. They were so excited and talked for several minutes about this event. They acted like this was the first time it happened. Well…LOOK UP! The last 2 Christmases I saw dolphins in the water when looking out our condo window. Did anyone else see them? No, the computers, TV and cell phones were much more ...
