Cinchy Stuff

Hi

Me again.
How 'bout all that heat last week?

Woo!

23 degrees here today!

Welcome to springtime in New York!

Here's some cinchy things that will most likely not change interior design psychology
yet
have put a smile on my face.

I'm joining these crazies:






in this:

Ready for some cinchy stuff?

Brace yourselves!

WINTER FRONT DOOR


SPRING FRONT DOOR

I know.  Hold your applause!

See that little shelf?  It's been bare wood for 60 years.  So.  I painted it yellow.  Yes.  Just the other day.
 And look what became of our breakfast nook!


Sunshine.





Instructions for front door project:  Remove snowman ornament, toss into Christmas storage box.  Grab broken outdoor wind chime from last year, throw colorful disks over wreath.  Smile.

Instructions for painting shelf:  Early summer weather necessary.  Remove wooden shelf from wall.  Hold spray paint can upright.  Spray.  Look at drips and have not a care in the world.  Let dry.  Hang shelf in same spot.

    It's like 'buttah' ...creamy yellow buttah!

    I'm so glad you gave the directions and included the most important part...the 'have not a care in the world'...Where would I be, had you not?

    ...Mostly...thanks a million and one for the sweet birthday song! That made me smile all over. You and your family-- so precious (you) and the boys (so Cool!)

  6. Super-cinchy projects! Your wreath and your cheery yellow shelf are all set to welcome spring :-) FYI, paint drips add character and the "made by hand with lots of love" look :-)

  7. I love it! The breakfast nook is so pretty with the yellow. That's a great shade.
    Your tongue in cheek humour always gives me a laugh. :)
    Happy Spring. I hated to see that great weather go away, we really loved it. Itching for it to be here to stay.

  8. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment on my blog. I'm now following you also. Love the sun shiny shelf and breakfast nook. I guess you don't really want to hear about our 70's and 80's here in AZ? Don't worry, we'll be hot as **** in just a bit while you'll be having perfect weather. Nice to meet you:)

  13. I am crazy about the white and yellow color theme you used in your dining area. It is so refreshing and makes me think of Spring.
