Broken Dishes
I've been lugging around this box of broken dishes for at least 10 years.
Whenever anyone would break a dish, I'd say no worries and put
the pieces in my broken dish box.
Totally Mom of the Year!
So the other day I got out my box, hammer, and tile cutter thing.
And made little pieces out of the big pieces.
Arranged them on a piece of siding that the Mister cut to just the right size.
Glued the pieces on with thin set, according to the package instructions, grouted the whole thng,
then attached it to this cabinet that was missing it's top.
I found the cabinet by the side of the road on someone's pile during the spring clean up.
And now it makes it's home out on our patio.
And now I don't feel quite as bad about those broken dishes

Happy Flag Day from Our Front Porch
The warm weather is finally here.
Which means it's sittin on the porch time.
I love it when a neighbor or friend stops by and wants to sit and chat for awhile. It seems to be so much more relaxing on the front porch.
I usually decorate for summer just before Memorial Day.
That way the porch is ready for Flag Day and Independence Day.
Happy Flag Day 2013
With Love,

Living Room Makeover
Even though we're right in the middle of a handful of big projects,
I've started gathering things for a living room makeover.
Walls and a table need to be painted.
I'm looking for an area rug.
Curtains need to be sewn.
We're admiring crown molding designs.
We just got this chair back from the upholsterer.
I'm LOVING that fabric!
Black and cream buffalo check fabric for the love seat that's still
being worked on.
Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.
