The most awesome find

No pictures yet but I will catch up to my postings as soon as I figure out my new camera.
Today Steven sent me over to a big pile of wood that at first glace was just that. Then at closer examination I discovered the WHITE and CHIPPY siding of an old house! We are going to use it for wainscoting in our living room, dining room and kitchen. I can't wait to show you. Another new project in the works are Black Walnut counter tops. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.  Can't wait to show you pictures.

hello

I sure have missed posting. I am trying to get back into the swing of life. My Dad passed away 2 days after I arrived to help him recover from surgery. I miss talking to him, I miss a lot of things about him. Look for new pictures and new projects.

Prayer

So sorry I haven't been blogging. I just found out the my Dad has lung cancer. This is the 3rd type of cancer he's had in as many years. Please pray God's will be done! That we would all be obedient and draw closer to Him.

Thank you,
Bren

House of worship

 

Isn't this amazing! My heart skipped a beat when I saw it. We asked a local antique shop if it was for sale and to our dismay it had been sold 6mo. before to be turned into a Mexican restaurant. I can see myself slowly restoring her while we live in the midst of all the construction, bringing her back to her original glory.

A little hard work

Not the prettiest pictures but this is my latest project. It will go up at the lake house, note the No. 37!

Pictures of the lake remodel will show it off much better.

Isn't this color awesome!! I found a paint color "Surf green" that goes with it just perfectly. I saw it at an incredible shop "Sunny Paige" in Whitesboro, TX. If you get the chance you should definitely stop in.

I am using this in the kids room at the lake.

Our house No. at the lake is 37, which sparks a new collection!!!!!!

Steve and I had a great day collecting. Once everything is clean an presentable I will post pictures.

Praying that each of you is blessed in your walk with the Lord.

God bless

new projects

Aren't they beautiful! I love Buffalo China

I just couldn't resist this blue Sparklett's bottle. I am going to take it to the lake house. Once summer is here I will post pictures of our remodeling of the 1960's place we bought.

I bought this light for my office. I am still looking for the perfect shade. It might look new but the cord tells a different story. My office is a complete disaster!!! When I find time to dig it out I'll post pictures. Steve made me a black desk/table from an old black chippy base and I have all my rose prints on the walls.

See the tall mirror, we found this beauty and I don't know where it will finally end up but the silver patina is to die for not to mention the curve and the height.

Here is our 5 year old NEW fireplace we have in our master bedroom. Can you see the mirror on top. I think I have a problem saying no to mirrors. Steve wonders why I buy them considering you cannot see a clear reflection of yourself  in any one of them. I say I love the patina and he just sighs.

New idea. I love the old school house lights but can't afford them. Here is the start of my version. This is a really rough example but when it's done and up I will re post a before and after together.
