Touring 'sunnysa' Irene and Doug's arts and crafts garden ...
Comments (15)Thanks BDW, we enjoy the porch, too. I always call it the 'porch' and DH corrects me. "It's not a porch... it's a deck!" Funny man.... but he built it so I 'let' him name it, lol. We spend a lot of our time sitting on the porch swing watching the cardinal and hummingbirds. I've attached a pic of our birdie having his breakfast this morning. I found the little chicks at the dollar store, only it's not a true dollar store. These cost me $1.29 for a mama chicken and four baby chicks.

Comments (19)Wow thanks everyone!! All are painted with oil except the three piece abstract. I have never had an art class and just picked up a brush one day. I have never sold a thing and gave the last piece to my uncle and aunt as a Christmas gift. I really do not think they liked it. They sent a thank you card and it said thank you basically. So... that made me feel sort of sad bc to be honest I wanted to keep it. My hubby begged me to keep it but I told him it was a gift and I had painted it for someone else. Maybe someday I will paint a ton more and try and sell them. Thanks again for the sweet words and positive comments!...See MoreArt Work - Too Small for Wall?
Comments (60)Thanks everyone ... I appreciate all the help and compliments I received on this! The rug isn't new, but it was my 3rd try until I got it "right" You know I didn't even think to move the picture up a little, to cover the box, but I will definitely do that. Unfortunately my whole house needs to be rewired, so I will have many more of these type holes to patching paint!...See MoreOverwhelmed by my art!
Comments (4690)Personally, I like the fridge where it currently is. It's tucked out of the direct sight line from the great room... and from the first impression when you enter from the main door. I think it would look more like "furniture" to have the counter-cabinetry flanking the stove/vent hood (set up like a hearth) and the fridge tucked neatly back out of the "wow wall" that the stove would be. Make sense? Plus, the fridge is in a more natural spot for a drink station. Creamer for coffee? Right there. Ice? Right there. Mixer? Right there. Store the glassware on wall w fridge, and it keeps that function of the kitchen separated. I hate having to barge into the cooking zone just to fix myself a drink... That is the set up I have here and it works so nicely. But that is just my opinion... :)...See Morepamelamacleod
