Creating home, garden, and life, one DIY adventure at a time! Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Photo Wednesday: Fresh Flowers. While traveling in Russia there were many things that were new and different, but there was something that really surprised me! Not only were they HUGE, and so inexpensive for us to buy, but they were everywhere. In the metro station, at the kiosks, and on the tables of those we lived with. What about your home? Do you enjoy having fresh flowers on your table? Links to this post.

Misha and Mia: Front Porch Makeover

http://mishaandmia.blogspot.com/2013/11/front-porch-makeover.html

Sunday, 17 November 2013. I have been planning to do a front porch makeover since the day we moved into our house. While it was always on my mind there was no real urgency to do it, so it kept being put on hold .till this fall. As the weather got cooler, I thought I didn't want to go through another winter with the brown, gloomy looking porch. Misha removed the screen door and repainted our existing wood door with three coats of 0 VOC white outdoor latex paint. And Misha painted it white with a black edge.

Kitchen Remodel: Before and Soffit Removal. 160;Tuesday, February 1, 2011 –  house. We're finally almost finished with our kitchen remodel, and I finally got a card reader to download photos from my camera, so here we go! A few before shots:. As you can see, our kitchen felt small and out-dated. And we didn't care for the style of it, nor did it match the rest of our house. So, to get started we had the cabinets, countertops and appliances removed:. 160; Posted by Laura. 160;  . 160;  . 160;  . Hey, you ...

Loose Leaf Sketchbook: Going a Courting

http://looseleafsketchbook.blogspot.com/2012/11/going-courting.html

Saturday, November 3, 2012. I'll be working on the color for this piece this week. It was for Illustration Friday's word of the week, "Shy".but the interaction. Didn't end up seeming to shy. Very charming, looking forward to seeing how you colour it. I wonder what colours are shy? November 4, 2012 at 12:02 AM. This gives me atmosphere of Jane Austens novel. I love your clean lines, the characters expressions and details of the basket and the duck very much. It makes me imagine some stories :).

Gimme MORE Shelter: A Beehive of Activity

http://gimmemoreshelter.blogspot.com/2011/07/beehive-of-activity.html

Wednesday, July 27, 2011. A Beehive of Activity. It is very handy to be so close to our house during renovation. (Thanks again, K and D! I could hear the buzz of activity outside this morning. OK, so the buzz was really the sound of insulation being pumped into the house but there is quite a bit going on this morning. Now a little test. What is missing from the front of the house other than the old shutters? Aren't those lovely dirt shutters being left behind? Take a look at an old shot. The Gift of Time.
