living room curtains

I loved the material on my window seat so much, I thought it would be the perfect finishing touch to use the same material for panels in the living room. It was tough getting more of that material, but Ginger at Cynthia East Fabrics made it happen! Mom sewed them in a jiffy, and I think they look amazing!

pillows

While I was gone on my trip to Chicago, Mom went to Cynthia East Fabrics, bought the material we had picked out, made my pillows and they were sitting on my couch when I got home. Is she amazing or what? Thanks Mom....great job!

cabinet hardware

When Bill was here painting, I had him paint the kitchen cabinets white. The cabinets were fairly new when I moved in, but I didn't like the finish...they looked dingy. It's amazing what some white paint and satin nickel hardware will do!

spring

Ahhh....Spring is here, bringing many surprises in the yard! This tree is in my backyard, and it was a pleasant surprise to see it bloom. It was absolutely beautiful at its peak. Many other things are springing up in the yard...when I moved here in December, everything was dead and it was hard to tell what was what.
