A Wee bit of Easter Decor and Rambling

I have been so busy reading about all of your awesome Spring decorations that I just put mine out last night! Too much blogging and not enough doing. Not a whole lot to see, but, there is my one favorite black cabinet in the kitchen that gets decorated for every season.

There have been a few changes in my life recently and I have had a few extra things on my plate. Normally, I would have all of my Springy things out front and center, all dusted off and adorning every room. Those '’extra things” will be another post for a different day.

So here is my favorite kitchen cabinet decked out for Spring. You will find no pink here, I stick with my greens and reds…

Oh… this Windows Live Writer is so awesome! I just figured out how to write on my photos. I know, I am so far behind the times…

Are you blown away yet? Not much going on, really.

Love WLW! Did you see that? Up there…Misti’s Kitchen… cool.

Yep, I am having too much fun here. Let’s see what else I have…

hmmm… Not Easter decor, but, here are two urns that I was bored with. They got a little spray paint treatment.

This is a big one that used to be brown. 

This little urn used to be weathered and gray. I decided to have some cream in my life.

My ugly lamps were black (and long ago were brass) now they are cream and are about to be transformed with burlap. I’ll post that little transformation later…

I have three of these guys. When I bought them 5 years ago they were verdigris (weathered green). I had my eye eyes on them, and waited until they were $1.89 on clearance at Michael’s and snagged them up with gusto! A few years ago they got an espresso colored treatment, and now they are cream. I DON’T like them! So, I tried a little gel stain. Still not liking them. They kind of remind me of Grandma Sadie’s 1960 carport rails in this color. So, they are now on their second coat of espresso, but this time they will get a touch of antique gold over the brown. AND… I have a special art project all set for these. You will have to come back soon for that!

Now- this next subject has nothing to do with Spring sprucing or Easter decor but you may find it interesting.

Update on my chair repair project. No, this is not the before photo…this is the “after he did again” photo.

In Cisco’s defense- (my husband made me say this)

I will admit, this is my fault. I did not properly stitch this like I should have. It was done in a hurry late on a Sunday night, right before bedtime.

 It was attacked again 2 days later. This is his chair, and I think he likes it better this way. All of the new foam is gone, but I still have 2 arm covers…and another bag of foam.

Thanks for reading my rambling. {smile}

Hope you all are having a great week. Stop by again soon!
