EXTERIOR INSPIRATIONS: DOORS ADD A BURST OF COLOR!

COLORFUL DOORS....Keep us safe inside our homes, doors provide privacy and a sense of freedom from the outside world. Before entering someone's home it is tradition (for me) to knock and wait for an answer in order to be invited in. Do you feel that knocking is the proper thing to do? Doors also gives us breathing space from reality and lives daily runarounds, and closed doors provides breathing space, and sometimes with no interruptions. What color is your door? or what color would you love to paint your door? here are some ideas that will inspire you to give that entrance into your home a welcoming feeling and an even better feeling when opening your doors to family and friends.

If you could paint your front door any color what color would  you paint it?

Amazing how doors make a statement, it provide a little info on the type of person you are.
Bright colors add welcoming conversations, and dark painted doors can make your home appear scarey and sometimes dark doors just simply state sophistication...
what do you think of my theory? Just my thoughts.
I Personally can't wait to purchase our new home.

Still partially a door and opening, you still have to knock...

If you had to knock on these two doors, which door would you knock on first? and hoping the
person that lives in the home with the black door would just open automatically.

VINTAGE RECORD PLAYER: PART 3

I am back with updates on that Vintage Record Player that everyone is excited about! I can't wait to show her off when shes done, I worked in my shop today for a few hours and was able to accomplish a lot. Even though it's Mother's Day I spent the day just the way I wanted to, "me and my tools".

Sanding is always time consuming and so is priming, but I was able to prime the inside with a loaded paint brush making sure to get into those corners. I used the #HGTV roller and paint brush that I purchased over at #SWpintura @Sherwin Williams paint store, I am always excited to buy items for my shop. Here are the latest photos:

here she is so far, all primed and a little more sanding. I think shes looking great! 

A front view, speakers are gone, I will replace them with fabric possibly. But, I do have other ideas.

This project is a lot of work. 

I purchased this hand sander which I love.

what do you think so far?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

MY DEAREST MOM! I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU DEARLY. 02/10/1940-04/12/2002
Happy Mother's Day...

I know you are guiding me, everyday and every single step of the way...

As I walk this earth day after day, I know you are there to guide me, a butterfly flying, fluttering its wings nearby...I see you.

MAKING IT MINE: MY OFFICE SPACE

I am constantly rearranging my desk and work area. First my desk was in my bedroom, then I thought I am missing out on the activities or the "noise" going on in the livingroom. So I arranged for my desk to be place out there  but it became cluttered and unattractive, so I decided today it needs to back into my bedroom and that is where it will stay until we move (yeah right). I think it looks cute so far, my desk is in desperate need of a makeover though, my newly purchased mirror (for sale) is hanging on the wall above my new desk arrangement, not bad I must say and a few of my favorite owls placed on my desk adds a little more to my the eclectic style that I  love.
 

My desk transformation in progress...

My desk needs TLC, and once that is done possibly a little more color! 

What do you think so far?
