She's busy working outside getting ready for a garden party.

We hope you'll mark your calendars and join us.

Decorating

Marty at A Stroll Thru Life showed her front porch all spiffed up for spring. Her decorative touches are definitely welcoming.

Recipes

Carol at The Red Painted Cottage shared a Bow-Tie Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli that could probably be on regular rotation all summer.

Susan at Ash Tree Cottage shared Garden Niches that beckon you to grab a glass of iced tea and stroll the yard.

Inspire

Smokey Eye With Chalk Paint

 

I have spent the better part of this weekend

painting furniture in our new SW Snowbound White guest room-

hence the post title.


Why that title?

Because when I paint-

I also paint

MYSELF.


Remember my Anti-Paint Tutorial?

I paint in my gown-

I paint recklessly-

and I paint messy.


I have also spent more time this weekend

under the bed trying to reach for things

without kicking over said chalk paint can than I care to repeat.


But let me tell you-

as someone who is 3 years late to the party-

(and yes- I painted the hardware and I even left the stuff in the drawers!)

you could paint your car with chalk paint-

without washing it FIRST

and it doesn’t care.


I am impressed and a MESS.

***

PS.  Do you think this  ‘no le hace’ (It doesn’t matter)

attitude about DIY projects

is why I have lost 4 followers in a week?


All I can say is if you are still reading-

you go girl!

If you are just a tad rebellious and think most things are funny-

then you are in the right place.
