A NEW PILLOW

Home from Boulder, Co.  

43 hours.  

Greg [sil] is renovating a house so I went out to consult on paint colors.....some kitchen questions etc.....

Then we started talking about staging it.  It is my belief that a staged home sells better.  Since this project would be a "starter" home.....they probably still have college furniture.  So....I don't think we have to break the bank giving it a cute look.

I introduced him to Pinterest.  

Felt pretty good to show a hip, cyclist, dog loving, veggie eating dude something new.  Uh huh...I am old but I do know a thing or 2.

I started a board [Grape St] so I could pin inexpensive items that he could order.  Then I offered to go back out and help pull it together.......my favorite part.

OK...back to the new pillow.  

When I posted my fall mantel there were a few questions about the cabinets flanking the FP wall.  I had those custom built when we renovated the house in 1994.  I got it in my mind that I did not want them to specifically look like built in cabinets.  

Here is a close up of the bookcase styling.

One day a few years ago I got a wild hair and painted the inside with milk paint.  I go back and forth between painting the whole unit and not.  That would make for a heated debate huh?

I found the old propeller at a flea market in Florida.

And now for the picture that started this whole post....

News Flash....it's black and white.  A really heavy linen.  

Somebody else wanted to know about that black and white vase.....I got it at Ikea years ago....just a wood box and painted the stripes.  You would have thought I posted about it but of course that was long before I mastered the "labels" button.

Did anyone local make it  out to see all the rooms at UMCH?

Here it is Wednesday and it feels like Monday to me.  Getting a late start on my week.

Need to be lighting fast at everything this week.
