Howdy Loft E Peepers!

Well how y'all doing?

I have been busy painting furniture, window frames, statues, plant stand, fiber glass pots, store signs, etc. Ya, been mucho busy lately. Oh, and also put a high gloss protective coat on the little bamboo bath stand I got at auction. Have started gluing mosaic tile on the three shelves.

Found the perfect high gloss paint in pale sage type colour for two bucks at ReStore. Its for the hideous mailbox. I will take before and after photos. The wicker chair I repainted looks brand new again! ! One arm needs repair, which I will fix as soon as I find a good wicker supplier. Yes, I am a woman of many talents.

Oh, and scored 14 gorgeous rugs for a buck fifty a piece ..... retail price? fifty bucks each! !!

Beat that tighwad fans

Hi Sulene, welcome to the second half.
Sweet Bliss, I get exhausted just reading your post. I laze about on pinterest and dream while you are doing it. Strong? You're invincible.

Thank you Sir Galahad!

I will wake up before dawn on the 57th anniversary of my birth tomorrow.

I am so grateful for all my gifts and blessings.

Thank you all for joining my celebration of life.

Sweet Bliss,

Top o' the mornin'. I can commiserate with you about rehab. Just this week I am having a decorator begin the tedious process of making a silk purse out of a sows ear. More succinctly, "covering up" old and tired looking wood paneling in 3 rooms. I am eager to see the results. Good luck on your re-do.

Hello Lofty folks!

Lord am I tired! Been putzing around doing this and that. Repurposed four faux suede curtains. Turned them horizontal, added tabs on top, voila'! perfect size for Grace's windows. The yard sale rods look fabulous with my new curtains. Sewed casing in canvas painters cloth, now i have fab heavy curtain for windshield area.

On Pinterest someone pinned these beautiful hand painted pillows, look like water colours. So gorgeous. Well, according to an enterprising woman we can create the same effect with sharpie pens and rubbing alcohol. Guess what I just purchased?? Yep.

Call me loony, but i am going to have some fabulous soft furnishings.

Finished re-painting bathroom door leading to garage. Two coats of lovely pale blue. used large floor fan to speed up the drying process. It needs some kind of sumpin. It's too plain. Painted wall behind toilet. not sure what I will do to spruce up that area.

Earlier I used a stencil to create a soft floral design. Didn't like it at first. am thinking it needs a different touch. Not sure about the effect I want. Will dream about this.

I'm hungry... did more stuff ..... mint tea sounds good.

Yeah, 50 was a bit rough for me at first, but the years since have been a breeze. lol
