Curtains, Curtains and more Curtains!

Today I am thrilled to be guest posting at I am Momma Hear Me Roar as part of Cheri’s week long Behind the Curtain series. 

I hope you will stop by my post HERE to see curtains from my home, curtains I have created for magazine photo shoots and some all-time curtain favorites.  There is a lot to see!

My Favorite Room

Today I am thrilled to be guest posting at Cottage and Vine!

I have been a Cottage and Vine follower for some time and was thrilled when Rene asked me to share my favorite room in my home.  To see which room I selected and why click HERE.

Painting on a Whim

For some reason, yesterday I decided the mirror over the grain bin in the sitting area of my kitchen needed to be painted. I am not exactly sure why, as it has never been an issue before and to tell the truth I am usually not impulsive when it comes to decorating decisions.

I just took the mirror down and started painting!

The mirror is from Pierre Deux and looked like this before I began.
 

I used one coat of Annie Sloan’s Paris Grey Chalk Paint followed by a glaze and then a top coat of paste wax.

You may also have noticed the wire container went from white to grey – another spur of the moment decision.

I am happy with the results as the mirror no longer looks “newly store bought” but rather more like something you would find in a vintage shop. The funny thing is that Mr. RDH hasn’t noticed yet. Hopefully he will like it as much as I do.

I was curious to know if you have ever done a decorating project on a whim. If so, what did you do and were you happy with the outcome?

On a different note, I am guest posting today at Remodelaholic. I am sharing my how to age brass tutorial.

Guest Posting at Finding Fabulous

Today you will find me guest posting at Finding Fabulous - so exciting!

It seems Jane and I are kindred spirits when it comes to many of our design philosophies – decorating for less, thinking outside the box, revamping and reusing furniture, etc.

You can understand why I was thrilled when she asked me to share my favorite budget decorating tip.

I hope you will visit Finding Fabulous to see my answer!
