Well, here it is...my blog about our house....in other words..Decorating&Painting of anything, (meaning junkier the item/piece the better)....Yea, even that 70s stuff that thrift shop clerk gives Bart and I that 'eye', meaning, "What in the world would they want with this for, they just can't possibly put this junky thing in their house." I've longed for decorating since we moved out of our house quite a long time ago, 7 years as a matter of fact. It is so nice to actually call where you live "home" again. Some where you can go home to feel secure, safe, warm, relaxed, (well, not always the case having seven kids trampling through the house)....a place definitely defining ~ comfort. We settled in a little town just south of Blue Earth, Minnesota called Elmore. It is about 750 people, and has quite a few elderly, which all are extremely polite to our family. Now, about the house it was built in the 1900s. It has tons of room for our family to stretch out and relax. I have taken decorating/painting/refinishing/glazing to an all new level since I got a lot of house to paint/decorate and accent with our family's taste. Watch out thrift shops, hobby lobby, hardware stores in our surrounding area...Lots of wall space to add life and color to. So stay tuned I'll be posting my latest paintings/signs/decor or latest thrift store find for the week ! Or even just how to make a piece of decorative accent for a room that costs little or nothing. Thats my game, if it isn't dirt cheap... Is soooo not for me!! Above are two signs side by side in my family room, just made out of plain ply wood...I think I spent $7.00 for the pair...Some leftover trim paint for the background, and cheap acrylic paints for the final finishings..and a few late.. late nights unwinding/painting away...So ya think you can find those decorative accents anywhere else that cheap? :)
