What I did today

home tours

It's about time for a home tour, I do believe.  We've been in our new house about 2.5 months now and we have slowed drastically on the painting, decorating, improvement projects, etc.  But it's summer and we live at the beach so there's no time for house work when it's so great to be outside:)  Let's start the home tour with the dining room! (mostly because I'm super excited about the farm table CAT got me).

We painted of course. Wolfpack red. The contrast on the beadboard is fantastic and the vaulted ceilings are great.
Here's some shots from around the room:



I want to get an oversized picture for the display shelf or cover some canvas with curtains from our old house that won't work here.
Now for some shots of the table:



The table is exactly what I have been searching for for 2 years and CAT got a wonderful deal:) Couldn't be happier!

Love these

Chairs.  I found them at a cool new vintage store here in MHC.  I can't remember the name right now but I'm sure I'll be getting stuff there often & will update ya'll!

for the front porch! now I just need one more...

Wow...

Wow, it's been a while! Have ya missed me?

Well you know if I'm not blogging it is because I'm busy working on things in my studio :) I've had custom orders & fun new things galore to keep me busy. Oh, and I don't think I've told ya'll that I started a fabulous job at Tassels here in Morehead City.  I basically get to play with shoes and clothes and jewelry all day - awesome!  

Here's some bags from this past weekend with some wonderful fabric I just ordered.  I think the beach tote is my new favorite.  A custom order and now I love it.  What do ya'll think?
