PearDownLiving: November 2010
http://peardownliving.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
November 18, 2010. Address Front and Center. I've always thought that a little front door re-do is one of the easiest ways to highlight your home. After a previous post. On this subject, a friend asked me to help her with her front door/entry. Her house numbers were hidden most months of the year by a beautiful maple. The front door is the. Front and center focal point of her porch. Thus we ordered vinyl lettering from Etsy shop: Allie000. Best $10 transformation I have seen. That filled the area. I fina...

PearDownLiving: June 2011
http://peardownliving.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
June 11, 2011. The June 2011 anthropologie catalog arrived a few weeks ago. To say I was inspired and obsessed would be an understatement. The styling on their catalog is so effortlessly perfect with the unexpected mix of patterns, colors and graphics. Love! You may remember a post about my garden. From a year or so ago. We have this lovely stamped concrete patio that has a huge curved planter bed below the edge. In the past it has looked like this:. Today it looks like this:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

PearDownLiving: February 2011
http://peardownliving.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
February 20, 2011. Watercolor - Possibly Portugal Scene? Unframed Oil on Canvas. On a recent trip to Langley, WA (where my folks reside), my friend Ann and I went on our usual thrift store digs. There are some wonderful thrift stores on the island and although we don't always find items to bring home, this visit was a slam dunk. I love to rummage through the art area, grabbing anything that catches my eye. With Ann and/or my mom in tow, I can benefit from their discerning eye(s). February 18, 2011. You k...

I just discovered the delicious JR Watkins Lemon Creme hand and body lotion. At our local PCC:. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Free. Sodium Laureth Sulfate Free. Mineral Oil, Petrolatum free. All of her rich ingredients are:.

July 24, 2011. Bus Roll/Subway Sign Project - Check. The Young Family Bus Roll. Step 1: My mom adding another gesso layer to large canvas. Step 2: Layering cream, yellow and white on the canvas with a whisk brush for a linen affect. Hard to see in photo, but the layered colors add more dimension. Than the plain white background of an unfinished canvas. Step 4: Painted over canvas with Daniel Smith's Ultimate Acrylic: Lamp Black. I didn't finish all of the edges. Wanted an aged, torn look. It feels like i...

PearDownLiving: The Story of Stuff
http://peardownliving.blogspot.com/2011/04/story-of-stuff.html
April 3, 2011. The Story of Stuff. Have you ever seen this video. Or heard of the Story of Stuff Project? It's really worthwhile to spend a few minutes watching the video in its entirety. Pour a cup of coffee or glass of wine (depending on time of day, or not) and just watch, it will change your view on "stuff". Now I enjoy, have and buy a bunch of "stuff". I am not proud of some of my attachments to stuff and thus I am continually streamlining. I hate the idea that:. Hello to Yellow Every Day. Afternoon...
