Metallics are super hot in home decor right now. Luckily I have a
connection with a guy who has launched his own line of metallic paints.
Matthew Mead Studio Metallics are acrylic metallic finishes that need no other
sealant...just paint and you are done!
The dining room is currently a construction site as we just put
some French doors in a spot where there once was a window.
So while I wait for the trim and the wall to be finished I set out to
paint...

A New York state of mind: Fame or Fortune?
Two of my favorite creatives met for lunch in New York this week.

My front porch is very small but I have mums, pumpkins
and a wreath to create...

Wyoming Trip and French Door Installation
We couldn't wait to make the return trip to Wyoming!
It had been ten years ago since we found this beautiful part of the country.
Visions of the wild west danced in our heads as the date approached.
But first we had other matters to attend to.
Seems like this month was jam packed with so many events, including putting in our French door off the dining room. It has been a dream of mine for a while now, and it was finally happening!! In true husband and wife DIY fashion, we did indeed...
