As the school year comes to the end...

I was so busy up to the end of April getting everything done on my list before my family came in to NY. After they left, I needed a break. I had tons of laundry, the weather was nice and I was dying to get outside  do some cleaning up. Now, all of us moms are looking forward to the last day of school...or are we?
I'm always working on something around here...let me catch you up on a few things...




I used a shoe organizer to store cleaning products! Got this great idea from pintrest.
 

We hung it in a large hallway closet. Very convenient for downstairs cleaning!

Our kid's bathroom mirrors-from brass to pewter!
I cleaned them well, let them dry, used a metallic acrylic craft paint, finished with a light stain.
More kitchen pictures...


notice the pendant lighting?


We still have to paint and trim out the bead board on the peninsula and floor.


I created this little "wine bar" for myself in my dining room 




The dining room walls came out great. I'm very happy with the colors...still needs to be straightened up for full room pix!


a little more for you


My Americana living room


The paint color is Martha Stewart "seal"
in Behr paint (flat)

Liberty did not want her picture taken today

She is 9 months old now!

Tons of fun with an attitude!

Can you see her hiding in this picture?


I found these dish covers, great for an outdoor party-$3.29 each at The Christmas Tree Shop, table cloth $9.99.
 (FYI same covers at Target were $9.99!)

I couldn't wait to get into planting some color around here!
I hope this makes up for lost time! Enjoy and keep check'in in for more updates!
Happy summer!
