The Top Three

Another week has already flown by and it is time to look at the top three most viewed links from last week's Wow party.

First with over 559 views is Opulent Cottage who shared her neighbor's beautiful yard. I love the vines on the house.

Second with over 529 views is this wonderful courtyard shared by The Two Seasons.

And third  with 482 views is this kitchen and dining room tour shared by Southern Abbey. Love the subway tile and the wood counters.

Thanks to all who joined in last week.

See you tonight!

Most Recent Project....the master

In the last couple weeks I have been chugging along on the master bedroom. The walls were in bad shape and needed some TLC.

This is how the bedroom looked this past winter. All warm and snuggly.

Mr. Savvy snapped this when I was painting. I painted the walls one shade lighter from Davenport Tan to Alexandria Beige by Benjamin Moore Paints and it only took one coat, thank goodness.

Not a huge change and you probably wouldn't even notice it standing in the room if I didn't tell you.

Of course, when a big project is being done the other rooms in the house become a temporary dumping ground.

The mister had so much stuffed crammed in his armoire and I went through it and thinned a lot of it out before putting the room back together.

The carpet has been replaced and Mr. Savvy cut places in the old carpet and fixed our squeaking floor before the new carpet was installed. You can see the cut squares where he worked. If you follow me on facebook then you saw a peek at the new carpet. I was going to replace the carpet next year, but was able to nag talk him into it this year to go with the fresh paint job.

Here is a peek at my new lamps from Home Goods.

Summer bedding has been put back on the bed.

Art work has been switched.

I decided not to hang the cheap starburst mirror back over the bed. So I am on the hunt for something different and hopefully I will know when I see it.

More to come soon.

Do you have any projects going?

Have a super week!

Vintage Copper

What do you do when it is raining and stormy out and you had no sleep the night before due to constant lightening and thundering all night loooooooong? Well, apparently I get the hankering to polish my copper collection while still in my pajamas.

 I love finding vintage copper molds.

 I have never paid a fortune for any of my pieces. I just keep looking for ones without a huge price tag.

 Some have been scored at antique malls and some on ebay.

 One of my favorites is this rooster mold that I found on ebay and it was very tarnished.

 This cider scoop was found at a local antique mall and it is a solid piece.

 I showed these to you before after Susan from Maple and Magnolia blog was so sweet to buy and mail these to me when she found them while shopping. These are vintage European measuring cups. They also were very tarnished and cleaned up nicely.

I have several pieces hanging from my pot rack.

I love the look of tarnished copper, but wanted to see what these look like all cleaned up. Now I will sit back and let them tarnish again.

I am looking forward to a good night's sleep.

Oh, and I used Brasso to clean with.

Maybe This Year

I have been dreaming of a garden shed/green house for years,  I have begged pleaded nagged Mr. Savvy every spring and summer and still nothing. There is hope that maybe this year is the year. I  think he may be finally caving.

Here are some inspiration that I have been pinning.

You see, we have over thirty old windows, that we have replaced on our house, saved in a storage room under the sunroom. So we could do something like this.

It doesn't have to be all glass. It could have beautiful old doors like this one. Love the ladder planter.

It might be rustic inside or it may have vibrant colors.

Home is Where the Boat Is

One of my favorite sheds is Mary's at Home is Where the Boat Is. She does a fabulous job of styling it for the holidays and change of seasons. 

Mr. Savvy certainly can build it since he has built four homes and has done a lot of the work himself. Now, if I can just get him to take a break from his car that he is restoring.

Maybe this year.
