Im falling in love all over again


This was yesterdays starting to my day...
Can of paint and a keurig coffee in my starbucks cup... :)


This is the shade of green that I had in our dining room...
kind of sage-ish.
I still love that shade..its quite nice against the black furniture...
but it was time for some spring inspiration in there..



As you can see, curtains are down before the paint job,
and the walls were waiting for their transformation :)



Here's my "sneak-peek" before the reveal
which will be
in a day or two...
as soon as hubby puts baseboards back on and curtain rod and tie-backs up!



The white really makes the wood floor stand out now!
I love my wood floors... my hubby put in for me a few years ago...
He bought the wider planks of wood and put them all in lovingly for me,
and then stained them in a darker stain
 and I adore them,
and his labour of love xo

I'll be back soon with the full paint reveal :)

I don't want to sound like a broken record,
but did you enter my giveaway?
Fifi's book is beautiful ..
eye-popping and mouth-watering..lol

Im drawing out of the hat on the evening of April 20th
and
posting the winner on the 21st of April.. :)

Have a day filled with sunshine ..on the inside and outside xo



With all my heart...Deborah xo

Spring is spelled P A I N T :)

This morning I'm taking out my brushes...


and I'm heading to the dining room


Haha...imagine painting your walls this way!!



Spring has sprung
and
in
 my decorators heart as well!



I'm going white in there too,..
It's gradually beginning to make its way
through our home.
The living room was first to turn white,
and now my dining room,
and soon to follow
will be our kitchen.

And a big thank you
to
the lovely
 and so inspiring

Sandy Palmer
from


for all of her kindnesses
and helpful advice
and ideas on paint
and the how-to's..
You have blessed me over and over Sandy
and I'm using the
creamy, luscious
Antique White
again..
sigh..love it! xoxo



I love the purity of white
and the fun
of adding pops of colour
into the room.

I have black furniture in my dining room
so the white will certainly stand out..
I can't wait to see the change
it'll make!
I promise to take some before and after pics :)



I love "colour"
and even what I have in that room right now,
(its a gorgeous shade of green)
but
spring calls for a change
and for me
its white
 for purity,
and some romance..
I'll be adding a few new accents
that I've found 
and a sign or two that I've made...

Okay... off I go...
have a great day my friends...

and don't forget my
