New Love

I just wanted you to know that I'm in love with black doors:

Beware of future posts declaring my love for them
and my desire for The Husband to paint all of ours ASAP.

Paint Project Complete

You might remember my excitement about this paint project...I got my inspiration from a blog I love

and this painting:

I also enjoy:

It reminded some of my friends of Rothko's art.
One of my faves:

Bill was out of town for a few days earlier this month - a perfect opportunity to start my project. After I put the girls to bed, I popped The Proposal (love this movie) into the Mac and set up my "studio." And so the painting began...I was slightly nervous at this point. That stripe is really - green.
Now my fear was of a Crayola-ish painting......probably completed by one of the girls.Oops.
I forgot to take pictures as often as I wanted.
And this is how the evening progressed......which I thoroughly enjoyed by the way.Voila!
(with and without flash)
I was excited.
Are you?
This is when it's helpful to have The Husband around.There you have it.My little DIY art hanging on our dining room wall.

Door Envy

I have lots of things on The Husband's ToDo List for our home.
It's pretty long.
Our schedules are pretty full,
so we don't really have a lot of time for house projects
(and really by we, I mean he).

However, that doesn't stop me from falling in love
with new ideas like this one:
I love this door.
I would love to put this door in our kitchen.
I just might have to put chalkboard paint on
my shopping list very soon.

His Hers Yours

Do you have a place for your keys when you walk in the door?
If not, make one of these:

I did, and I put it on a table right by our front door.
So stylish AND functional.
Now if I could only get The Husband to use it.

Window Wonderfulness

I would like to make one of these for our kitchen:

I saw this idea on one of my favorite blogs.
I know, I know.
I have to finish my paint project first.

Isn't it adorable, though?

Paint Project

I'm excited about painting this...

Here's to hoping for good art!
