Little Red Chair

This is a little, old chair that we have had on our minuscule front porch forever. It is cute and tiny, but dull and bland.  So I thought that our front door needed a pop of color. 

So I painted it red!

I'm so glad I did! Since I took this picture I have added some fall decor and it looks great with the red. I'll show you some pictures of that later. But this is what it looked like right after.

Some inspirational reading.... just in case you are jet lagged and can't sleep.

Yup! 2 sets of sheets. I left them wrinkled
because I think that they look more shabby that way.

I used a Quaker Lace table cloth for a layer.... I love how it looks!

Why Does It Take Me So Long To Clean The House?

This is why:

This is the hallway in our home.....

I'm dusting.... The box is so pretty.... but it could be prettier....delay....

A doily... a vintage piece of linen.... but it still needs something else.....delay..... a tassel maybe?

A tassel is good but this one is to big.... I need find a tassel that will work.....delay....puts, puts, puts.....

Found the tassel....hmmm...puts,puts, puts .....delay.... what else does it need? Flowers! delay again.....

Arrange, Arrange, Arrange..... puts, puts, puts....

Done! I mean the vignette.... the Dusting?..... not so much! :)

First Metamorphasis Monday For Me

Today is the first Met Monday that I have participated in. I was so tickled with this little project that I just had to show it off. It was inspired by Cherry at Cherry's Jubilee. Make sure you check out her very creative blog. It is a great source for inspiration.
