More whites from our home,

my old shop,

and some of my work.

~  Our Entry Way  ~

~ Peonies in front of my favorite white french doors ~

~  A dining chair with my favorite pillow  ~

~  An old window pane that hangs in our bedroom  ~

~  A slipcover in progress~

I can't tell you how many times I've sewn, ripped, and re-sewn

the middle part alone!!! At least 3 or 4 or 1000...

I've lost count!!

But I finally got it straight but I haven't taken pictures yet.

I'm not sure if I want to keep the ruffle...

I think I want it smaller.

Believe it or not, the white slipcovers really do hold up.

(Even with our two year old grand baby)

We have a mix of white and dark furniture.

Feminine and masculine

at the same time.

~  The curtain that hangs over the massive (frosted) window in the master bath  ~

~  As you walk in the bathroom ~

~  Love that curtain  ~

Pretty reflections of my mini chandelier

and my crystal champagne bucket

that holds the soap.

 Can you tell I love white???

Just wondering ;))

~  Yep, the curtain again... ~

~ Monogrammed hand towel ~

~ My little chandelier my sweet husband hung for me ~

~  I have a thing for clocks ~

This one hangs over my closet door

(reminding me to hurry)

I know....

 this isn't white.

This is a BEFORE picture.

That rarely happens around here :))

Seriously...

I am usually to excited to paint

to remember to take a before picture!!

I will try harder now that I have a blog and will want to show

"Before and After"

"AFTER"

Sooo much softer and prettier.

I am still planning on distressing it.

Just enough to see the details in the roses and the edges...

~  The glass knobs Scotty put on the drawers and cabinet doors  ~

~  A sweet gift from my sweet husband  ~

hanging on my closet door.

It's almost old enough to be considered "vintage"

But still love to see it everyday.

~  Apothecary (Apothacary??? ) jars ~

that hold

cotton balls, swabs, and pearls.

~  Monogrammed hand towel  ~

draped over a set of lacy white towels

I received as a wedding gift.

Almost 19 years and just as beautiful

as the day I received them.

Soo pretty...

~   My old shop  ~

 French Doors

 Old Window Panes

 Painted Shutters

Perfect even if you just hang it on a wall

or prop them up in a corner.

~  I miss this place  ~

It smelled Heavenly.

~  Chandeliers, Vanities, Lamps, Mirrors  ~

These are the things I will have in my online shop.

~ Ornate mirrors, chandeliers, vintage hats  ~

Glass cloches, vintage crystal, etc...

~ Fun items as well ~

~  The dark and the white again with a touch of cobalt blue  ~

Very Ralph Lauren

~  Lots and lots of white wicker and flowers  ~

~  Another pretty monogrammed hand towel  ~

(not my picture and don't remember where I found it.)

~  A picture of roses out of Rachel Ashwell's book  ~

~  My work  ~

This is a settee I reupholstered

for a local boutique owner.

If I had my choice I would have painted the frame white

 with a light distressing.

~  She was very happy with the results  ~

She didn't want the deep tufting...

but I think it looks pretty good :))

Even the piping turned out pretty good...

~  The back  ~

I'm still learning....

But come back and see what else I'm up to :))

I paint, I sew, I reupholster and

I am planning to put together tutorials on

how to do all this fun stuff!!!

If I can do it, YOU can do it :))

(If you want to)

Now, since I didn't do a post for Father's Day

I am doing a little one now...

It is still in keeping with the "White Wednesday" theme

(Sort of )

But definitely honoring my sweet husband Scotty.

These are just a few of his babies :))

Did I mention he is a Land Rover NUT  Enthusiast???

(Notice the WHITE Range Rover)

Here we are (with a different White Range Rover)

We are camping and off roading with the

Houston Land Rover Club.

They caught us eating breakfast...

and at the time I had braces!!!

And overalls under the sweatshirt.

Very bulky looking :))

Not the best picture we've ever taken LOL!!!

And here he is (in a WHITE t-shirt)

sitting in the very first Land Rover he ever brought home.

That is a story in itself :)) 

It was in an Exxon commercial!!

Happy Father's Day Honey!!!

I love you!!

(I'm not really late posting this,

I'm just really early for next year ;))

Love to you all!!!
