Country Living Quiz , Wow Wow



  I got an email from Country Living and there was a quiz in it so I thought , what the heck , I'll take it and see what it says..

 ::::  I'v had these items for many months , just waiting to put it all together in the great room:::: yep ,, its true~!

  Well, lemme tell ya, it hit the nail on the head with me.. In fact,  I have several of the items that are on the Rustic sample..

  The mercury glass lamp with the same shade
  The floral fabric for drapes and pillows
  The yellow ticking fabric
  The sea grass rug
  The pale taupy and the medium teal paint color
  The shutter headboard , but I'm using it for something else:)
  The lavendar- I have 7 bundles of it for a rustic basket I found at the dump... seriously, who would dump that,, sheesh..


 This was soooooooooooooo much fun and so accurate.. I'm amazed.
     Take the quiz and see if it Nails You..  either way.. let me know how ya feel about what it said... I'm curious:-)

The Pristine Potty



 Havin a good day ~!

 I know I know, its only 10:30 am lol..   hey, hey- I take my goodies where and when I get them ,so I feel like I should share those too.

    I've been in this new home 9 months and the truth is, I have'nt made any real decisions on how I want to decorate it.   It's a townhome and everything seems like its right under my nose, if ya know what I mean.  From the front door all the way thru to the door to the screened porch, is Viewable at all times.  oui vey~! that jewish sorta for Holy Smokes SonnyGirl ..   

this isnt mine,, I said I cleaned--didnt say I take photos this early:)
mighty purdy bathroom though, isnt it.. might have to copy some of it.   BHG  baths if ya wanna check the rest of them out.

  For an OCD gal like myself I'm pretty sure you know what that means.   I start cleaning, straigtening before my eyes are fully open... 
  If I get up to use the potty at night, ::yes I am a woman of nightly potty age::  I come back to a made up bed.. which I dont remember doing by the way...  
  On a few occasions I've actually woken up to a pristine potty, cause apparently I can squirt cleaning solution,  swooch it around with the brush and flush, with my eyes closed and with most of my brain shut off-- except that teeny tiny portion that can clean..Seriously??  yep seriously..

   Going to get my car inspected and my new sticker this afternoon- IF, I can get out the door ..   anxiety is a real pain in the patootie.:(  but for the moment- I'm having a GOOD DAY and I hope your having one too..

  in my best Mae West voice,
Come Back and See Me, Sometime  :: sly grin and a lil bat of the lashes..::
 I may not always be a fun read but it'll be honest and sincere.

Kitchen Cabinet Color Choices



  Hi Ya'll..

  I'm still here:)   wow its been awhile and I want to thank you all for not unfollowing me.. That was mighty sweet of ya..:)    Lots of stuff has been going on since the end of January and not much of it was Decor..
 My favorite carpenter Paul is finally back in NC.. He had to leave for 2 months and tend to fixing and selling his mother in law's home in California.  What he thought might take 3 weeks took a lot longer but thats how it is with remodeling. You never know what you'll run into.    Now that he's back , I have a full page list of things I want him to do.

  This little break I took actually gave me plenty of time to sit and look at my kitchen cabinets..    Glad I lived with them a few months and didnt jump right into painting them.
  However the browny tone Hickory color just isnt working for me..  Its time to PAINT~ !

  I showed ya'll the kithen back in late jan..  but I'll add a pic of it here to refresh your memory.  granite counters in  brownish greys combo-- neutral enough to go with anything..  Tile backsplash-- its beigy grey.. all stainless appliances and hickory hardwood floors/darker than cabinets..    Basically a blank pallet.
I got a sample pic of one door , took it to my art program and colored them as
samples..
 I am hoping you'll help me with this.. 
I'll be using kilz and Valspar satin.. I have my own tints so if they end up glazed I'll take over from Paul at that point..  all he has to do is the tough part  giggle.  sand prime and paint.  easy peasy, right? 

 so here are the samples.  If you comment and I hope you will- Please state your color choice and why ya choose it..  Thankies:)
Weathered Grey---original Hickory tone---Navaho White

Palest Sage---Teal Blue--Antique White/pale grey glaze

  Should I say which one The Daughter choose lol..  dont be influenced by her please. Antique white-- she is rather conservative.

  What I do, can be undone or redone, so dont let that effect your choice either..
the interior decor has a blend of all these colors- so NONE would be a wrong choice-except for the hickory lol.

   Thanks again for not giving up on me and for your very valued opinion..  Means a lot to me..
  Big Southern Hugs to ALL of YA  ~!!!
