A FENCE REVIVED!!

Hi friends...
This is a quick post to show once again the POWER OF PAINT...in this case STAIN.....
Our wood privacy fence was looking just awful and very orange!!....My husband power washed it and after lots of thinking about what type/color of stain we should use, we decided on this:  
 THATCH, BY CABOT....
We love it....now...let's bring on the good weather so we can get out there and pretty up the rest!!


EEK!!!.....THE AWFUL BEFORE!!!

AHHHHH.....THAT'S BETTER!!....

NEUTRAL BEAUTY

Hi Friends....
I have always been drawn to a neutral palate in my home decor.  Here is a sampling of how white flowers can be beautiful following the same rules for neutral decorating....Always add texture!!
Never boring, always lovely!!
Twine, burlap, mason jar, white flowers, and hydrangeas....
What else do you need???









My little before and after for this post:
Will you be my Corona & Twine???...
Sorry, I couldn't resist!!
Wishing you all a simply lovely day!
