HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!
How are you celebrating Memorial Day???
Usually my husband and I go to our local FAVE flea Market, Hartville Flea Market.
This weekend is their big KICK-OFF weekend and people line up to
get in starting like at 4 AM~ it's a zoo!! So much FUN!!!
But this year~ we are just staying at home and working on the house.
I freeked out with lucky-ness when I found this "Liberty and Her Stars" figure atThe Pine Cone Gift Shoppe, Hartville, Ohio.
I was doing some retail therapy after a LONG day at work.
The shop keeper didn't know much about her~ but from my zillion of hours looking at
Christmas Traditions and Bayberry Cove I recognized that she was by Dee Foust for Bethany Lowe Designs. I just had to have her~ I fell in love with her little ruffled collar and bright glass glitter star. I like that she is really tall~ like 16 inches high! Anyhoo~ when I got
home I found her online~ she is from Dee's 2006 line and she is retired. I am going to display her all summer long out in my dining room!
Speaking of the Dining Room...
We finally got the painting DONE!!!!!This is a view from early this morning~
I felt like a kid on Christmas morning!!!
I popped out of bed and ran out to see the WONDER that was
waiting for me!!!
I could hardly believe how pretty it looked in the light of day,
we didn't get done till LATE, LATE last night!
(note: blue tape on ceiling and furniture everywhere)
And WOW! I love it!!!!
I am so pleased with the colors
Family Room: Anjou Pear, Dining Room: Vintage Map, Trim: Cafe Cream, all by Martha Stewart(of course) and available at Lowes.
The Dining Room was a HUGE job~ we ended up doing 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint, because we took it from Barn Red see here, to this light light aqua-blue.
Now the clean up begins...
Happy Monday OFF Work~ WOO HOO!!

Your new paint looks great - blue is my favourite colour! I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day working on your house.
Just to clarify - I wrote an article for Romantic Homes, my home was not featured. But it was lots of fun to do and I hope to write for them again.
Thanks for visiting and entering my giveaway. Just a few more days...

Lucky girl! Great Dee Foust find. Don't you just love when these gems come our way? Thanks for stopping by and best of luck with your delightful pieces in your G+G shop.
There's nothing like a fresh coat or two of paint to give you the feeling of instant gratification! I believe you may have inspired me!
Thanks for visiting me again; blessings
