VINTAGE STOOL TURNED LOVELY!!

 I LOVE footstools...
so when I came across this one at a tag sale down the shore last summer for $10, I had to snatch it up!...I finally got around to updating it...a little paint, antiquing glaze and some pretty fabric was just what it needed...
take a look at the before & after....
Above is the lovely after....below the stained, sad before...


  
                                                                                      










Love my new stool and it is now a perfect addition to our master bedroom...

SPRING DOWN THE SHORE...

We were lucky enough to get down the shore for a few days over Spring break...while there, we took a walk near the lighthouse, one of our families favorite places to visit...Here are a few photos I snapped with my phone....




 These are our beautiful dunes.....
I never tire of the beauty of the beach...and NEVER will...

HAPPY SPRING!!
