Inspired

I was on Facebook today and a friend posted a picture from another blog.

This was on Shabby Addicts Blog. Don’t you love this kitchen! It is a dream of mine to have shelves not cabinets in my kitchen, AND a HUGE farm sink!!!

Here though I was inspired by the chairs. I have 4 chairs, pink, green, (bought that way) and 2 brown :(

When I bought them they worked with my décor, anyway I bought the pink and green one with a new table and had the brilliant idea to paint the other two.

After long looking and buying paint and taking it back I got light blue and yellow. The yellow I wasn’t sure about but thought I’d like different colors.

Started with the light blue

Worked really great I think. covered easy and is lighter than I expected and I’m pleased!

Yellow, well did seriously think (ONLY THOUGHT) about painting the chair white first than using the yellow, I repressed that urge :(

It looks better here than in person. You can make out some of the streakiness on the top. Took the whole can. I will need another to finish the chair :(

I am pleased that it is a paler shade of yellow than the can suggested so I think it will go in my palette better. Do wish the project was done though.

I will post when the set is complete!

Happy Saturday!

Recipe HELP….

Happy Memorial Day, I can never forget I would not be sitting in my home with my dog, enjoying blogging if our freedoms had not been fought for for hundreds of years by those who just thought it was what they should do. I think brave means you do what is right, not just what you want to.

THANK YOU  to all who have served, are serving and to the families at home that share you with this great country.

As I am home enjoying a day off because of these great men and women, I watched Rachel Ray. It was a rerun but as I am not watching TV this time of day, but here was a really cool idea for meat loaf!

Meat and potato cup cakes!!

I love it!!

Now I have recently gone Gluten Free. SOOOO all the regular stuffings for a meat loaf I cannot use. Also I would love to add veggies to this.

Now do I add them to the meat so I have filling for the meat loaf, or stick to onions and seasoning in the meat and add veggies in the potatoes, I am thinking corn, maybe squash, zucchini, even broccoli. I am not a carrot and pea fan so I really don’t want to add them.

How would you do it. I really like the littleness and cupcakes rock! I really think this would be a great idea what would you do?

Tea or Coffee?

I like both it just depends on my mood.

But I am very picky as to what I drink either in,

I have been lucky enough to find a few great new mugs for my drinks.

First I love the ones with my new dishes. I need a cup/mug to feel good in my hands or I just don’t like using them!

Then I was thrilled to visit the most wonderful place on earth

Barnes & Noble

and I found these

Yes ladies you are not seeing things! Cath Kidston at my favorite store!! B&N is like heaven! hehehe

How great with my new dishes?!

I am in love!! Now I can have tea and coffee with one meal!!

I also found these cuties at B&N But I wasn’t sure about them. Cute Cupcake themed really caught my eye but they were in boxes of two so I really didn’t get to “feel” them,

But when I found them at the coffee counter on sale for $3.49 HOW could I resist!! The nice guy let me take them out of the box!! Pink, Red and cupcake themed!!

Yea, you know they came home with me!!

Hello, $3.49 and I get my B&N discount too!!!

WOO-HOO!!

Look!

Yep, they even look great with all my other stuff!!

(insert really big grin)

Well off to drink some tea my tummy is not feeling as good as it could and well I have great mugs for it!!

Hugs, Lisa
