Open House Party

 

 

Welcome to the Open House party!
 

 

 

Before we start this weeks party I want to thank each and everyone of you that join my party.  I am feeling really guilty for not being able to visit each of you and leave comments.  My life has changed drastically in the last nine months.  Taking care of my dad is a blessing, though sometimes not easy! I no longer have the time to spend on my blog, or visit other blogs, that I once did.  I have thought about shutting down for a while but my blogging buddies have been such huge support and your blogs offer me a temporary distraction from the stress.  Please forgive me if I am not visiting as often and I hope you know how very much I appreciate your support and friendship.

 

Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart!

 

 

I have some great features from last week and I hope you enjoy....

 

Aimee @ The Vintage Estate  created this wonderful orb light using embroidery hoops.
Check out her blog for the tutorial.

Carol @ Art And Sand  has a very talented husband and last week she shared some
of his amazing paintings.

This beautiful Spring mantle was created by Revi @  Revisionary Life.

A Beautiful Home Tour

 

I have quite a treat for you today!

 

 

Carolyn @ Sweet Chaos Home has graciously allowed me to share her gorgeous home with you. 

This house was Carolyn's dream home. She would arrive early to pick her kids up at preschool, so she could turn into the neighborhood next door and spend a few moments checking out this house.  She drove by so often that Carolyn was surprised the neighbors didn't call the police.  On one of her drives there was a for sale sign on her dream home and several months later Carolyn and her family were moving in.

Since moving in they have completed many renovations and projects on the 1980's home.

Enjoy the tour and be amazed at the transformation of this beautiful home.

 

 Newly improved kitchen below

 

Quite a difference from the BEFORE picture below.



Can you believe the only changes were removing the wallpaper and painting the walls and trim?

Amazing, huh? 



 

 

Carolyn bought the chairs below off Craigslist for her dining room and had them upholstered in

this pretty blue and white fabric.  I am in Love! 

 

 

 

Lovely living room

 

 

What a pretty guest room. 

 

 The master bath was completely renovated....Gorgeous! 

 

 

 

 

Bathroom before renovation.  Can you believe the beautiful bath above started like this?



 

 

I know Carolyn's four boys must love the pool.

 



Visit  Sweet Chaos Home  to see amazing remodeling projects and to view more of

this beautiful home. 

 

Thank you, Carolyn for sharing your dream  home with us.

Top DIY Projects Of 2012

 

 

Hi everyone.

 

I am joining Rhoda at  Southern Hospitality for the Top DIY Projects of

2012 party . 

 

 My projects this year were few and far between though I do have a few
to share with you.
  

Carol at The Polka Dot Closet  hosted a Dress Form Ball and of course
Penelope Rose  joined in the fun.

After much trial and error I finally found a way way to dye sea fans with
vibrant color and no flaking. This Spring the Dyed Sea Fans will be for sale
again on Etsy.

 

I made pillows to add some color to our newly painted family room.

Framed antique French Letters.

Summer Mantle with  new architectural piece.

 Framed Intaglios.

Painted a new chalkboard.

Adding Patina to this Ex-Voto

I featured my collection of  Fall Decor.

I jumped on the bandwagon and made velvet pumpkins.

2012 Christmas decor.

Thanks to Rhoda for hosting the Top DIY Projects party.

Open House Party

 

 

Welcome to the Open House party.

 

 

 

Last weeks party was great and I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful

Thanksgiving tablescapes and vignettes.  I know many of you have

started decorating for Christmas and I can't wait to see what you have

to share.  You will find the link to join the party at the bottom of

 this post.

 

 Here is just a small sample of the many wonderful post from

last week.

 

 

This picture made my heart skip a beat!  Penny @ Penny's Vintage Home made

this romantic tree from vintage wedding gowns...Gorgeous!

 

 

 

Check out the pretty tablescape at A Toile Tale.   I am green with envy over her

 beautiful antique plate rack.  

 

 

Rhonda @ Blue Creek Home created these stunning angel wings. Can you imagine the hours

it took to make all those ruffles?  The end result is FABULOUS!

 

 

This amazing chalk board was created by Jeannine @ The Concrete Cottage.  Take

a look at the great tips she shares about this project...Love it.

 

Thanks to everyone that shared their post last week at the party. I won't be hosting

an "official"  holiday party this year but I hope you will link up all your holiday

decor and recipes for the next few weeks at the Open House party.  

 

Hugs,
