Cool garden planters

After the warm day yesterday, all I can think about is gardening. I know we will probably have another snowstorm, but I am still dreaming of flowers.

I LOVE this recycled planter. It's made from an old brake drum. It's over at oldironart.com

Another great idea! This is really creative.

This boat is so awesome. I would love to know how old it is. 

Is everyone ready for flower time? I know I am.

Have a great week!

No more red & gold

Before

Old windows and red and gold walls.

After

New white windows and white walls.

I had this old lid from a wooden barrel that makes

 a perfect top for my birdbath.

An old corn dryer is perfect for displaying some

of my old brass hose nozzles.

Now, we just have to finish painting and put in a new floor.

Have a great day!

Old shoe molds

People always ask me, "What do you collect?" I always say nothing, however when I rounded up all of my shoe molds today, maybe I do.

I love old shoe molds, I know weird, huh? There are so many kinds, wood, metal, wire, it's unreal.

I just found this cool old garden rack, so I am playing with it today. I don't think I will leave it like this, too blah for me. I did think it was good for a photo shoot.

They normally all sit in a big wire basket. I think that's where they will all go back into.

What do you NOT collect? LOL

Have a great day!

Bye-bye red & gold

We are in the process of painting the whole house WHITE. 

Top to bottom, it's a huge project, ugh!

I thought I should show you the colors I had before we started.

Today I am starting on the kitchen.

Note, the old dark windows. They are gone, woohoo.

My hubby, son and son-in-law put in all new windows last fall.

This is what happens when you buy a fixer upper. 

I don't think we will ever be done.

Stay tuned for pics of my new white kitchen.

Have a great week!

I'm going White

We are in the process of repainting every wall

and ceiling in our house, WHEW!

The whole end wall was barn red with a dark gold kitchen. 

Now that I have gotten rid of all of my prims, I need a change.

I love all of these photos, they are my inspiration.

What is your FAVORITE WHITE?

Have a great week-end!
