Not many wild flowers out there like there were last year at this time..

light and bright now?Maybe even a little stark?

That’s OK, that just means I’ll have no choice but to have lots of fun bringing in some character and color.I’ll take that over dark and depressing any day!.A bright new wall is a great excuse to finally bring out my favorite Summertime vase!.

I think I’m on a roll!Now, onto that next wall!

And those ugly closet doors…Last Summer, Kennedy and I had a great time making all kinds of treats during the weekdays when she was home from her various camps.

Cooking with kids is probably the greatest trick ever for a mom.I added three coats of this stuff with a little paintbrush.

The paint I used is DecoArt Dazzling Metallics in Champagne Gold..I ended up with this!.

Seriously, it’s so pretty it’s ridiculous.I look at it across the kitchen and it makes my heart smile.
