Plans and Schemes

porch 001 In retrospect, I probably, should have posted these pictures, before my Smart Tips Tuesday, but I just wanted to share a really 'fun' thing, right away. I have been ‘planning and scheming’ for quite awhile on this ‘remodel. So here we are, the BEFORE…..lovely isn’t it? Ha, even Dash is saying…… ‘Wow, this is really ugly, Mama!’porch 008 So this is a whole lot better, huh? I used a wonderful Polyurethane by Columbia Paint (really stinky), that should last for ages. Good thing, this house is over 100 now, and I am sure ‘she’ feels ‘she’ has another 100 coming. v 003 I found that wall cabinet at a garage sale about 3 years ago and fell in love with the color…..so I had to do the floor! I have decided to make this an indoor room, not an outdoor room. So I plan to put some of my vintage items out on display. I have been collecting windows too…..I will share all about that later. I would like to paint this room, lighter but am having trouble coming up with an idea on that. It will come, probably after everything is hung!


This has been my recycling area, so I now have to get clever and figure out a way to do that…..in an organized fashion…..yes, organized and not junky. Well, you know I like junky, just not that kind!

  6. Thanks for stopping by again!

    I love the color you used for the steps, I love that color! It looks like a brick red. I can't wait to see what you do with the walls!

    By "old camera" do you mean a film camera?
