I'm in the mood for change.

Simply because I am.
Think I must have it bad too!!
It all started here with my porch.
Now I'm not done so this is just the start of it.

It all started with Cathy Scalice and her beautiful front porch.


I do things with pennies in mind. Pennies being, that is about all I am willing to spend. lol

Then came Rebecca Ersfeld ~ Oh My!!! 

Here is my ugly old mantle that came from TN with me and has been hiding in the far corner of my yard, out of sight. I'm sure you will see why:

Oh don't worry your pretty little head. It won't be staying like this I assure you!! But Rebecca's kitchen photo really inspired me!!

Hey, here's something you might not have known, Rebecca use to sell things to Rachel A.!! I had no doubt in mind that when I looked first glance at Rebecca's blog, I was in love with her style. I bet you are too!! I told Rebecca that I think she is the Queen of Shabby!!! wink wink

Oh boy, then I was inspired by none other than Niki Morrow With The Vintage Farmhouse!!!

See I saw how thrifty and wise she is with her pennies!! So I fell in love with her too!!

I fell in love with her kitchen island!
Well today on my junkin trip I found a piece of marble for $10!!!

Then suddenly I found this one!! And OMG you better get the tissues out. Because it's so beautiful that it will make you cry. I was laughing, crying, rolling on the floor, smacking myself in the face giddy over these photos from Jennifer Grey from The Old Painted Cottage ~ Cottage of the Month
You will not be sorry you clicked it!! I Pa~romise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which led me to think of having it and making an island of my own. 

So I also need my man, Johnny Depp. WELL!!! If you have your own island, you have to have Johnny Depp right? Oh well, wrong kind of island I know. But hey, it's my dream, let me live it!! lol

So I know I got a little corny on this blog post. 

But I got so excited with ALL of the beauty! And yes I mean all of it.

I do hope you visit Rebecca and Nicki's blogs. They are such sweet women. I can't wait to start my projects. Both of them offered to help if I had any questions.
I bet they regret that by the first day I start on my plans.

Until next time friends, it's back to my paint. I have a show next weekend.
You know where to find me!!
