Peppers, Squash, Cucumbers Oh My!

Watch them grow. They are just the cutest thing ever. As you can see, some have not survived, but of course the cucumbers are growing. We don't even like cucumbers, so of course they will grow. Maybe the neighbors like them. Where's the cherry tomatoes, that's what we love, well what I love. It's the sad looking thing in the back of the picture.

Oops,

Before
Oops paint $3, hubby can't be mad over $3 right? I paint and the result is horrible. After many coats of "fix it" paint later, and can you tell the difference? I think I can. And, I do like the fact that something is different, even if no one else can tell. It's a work in progress still, I know. I would love some corbels and bar stools to round off the whole glorious magazine cover kitchen island. So, my point just get what you want to start with.

After
The oops paint was cheap in every sense of the word. I had to run out and buy good full price paint the next morning, there was no messing around I tell you it was horrifying. Sorry, no pics.

I see other blogs and their great "oops" paint stories. I'm jealous, I just do not have that good fortune, of finding the perfect oops paint.

front room

This is my room, I love this room, it is just for me to decorate. At least that is what I like to think in my head. On occasion I will allow the rest of the fam to enjoy this space. Also, I have had help with it, thanks Sara.

Let's see how many things have been altered, thrift store purchased, clearance rack or hand made? I can only think of the sofa, curtains, and rods as being placed as is from retail to house. Wait the rods were from a clearance store, and the sofa I asked for the sale price a month after purchase and I got a hundred bucks back. I guess still not altered though.

2009 Garden

Starting a garden from seeds is always a gamble for me, will it work, or will I have to go to Wal-mart to buy a tomato plant? Stay tuned, so far just my banana peppers have not made an appearance, yet.
