Okay, raise your hand if you are looking forward to scenes like this. My hand is up….both of them. image And although not the hottest summer on record for Northeast Georgia, I am looking forward to some cooler, fall like weather. Here’s a bit of a recap of what was going on at Top This Top…
I equate painting furniture projects a lot like my little Lily trying to ride her bicycle, the more you ride the more comfortable you feel…..and the faster you take the training wheels off. Of course the first few pieces are daunting, perhaps even scary but surprisingly after your first few projects it’s as though you…
I sit back in amazement at some of the amazing things that I see on the web and think to myself ” Oh my goodness, why didn’t I think of that ” Where on earth does this creativity come from? I am seriously thinking the water. I want some. You too? Well today I am sharing…
Hey April….. Where in the world did you go? It seems like only yesterday someone was playing an April fools joke on me and now 30 days later, you are gone! You buzzed right by, leaving your 5 inches of yellow pollen behind as I shared some of these projects. My Office Evolution Shared…
Now don’t get me wrong, I know I have shared a few of my builders blunders here and here but in all honesty, he did some things right….. well almost…..before we fired him anyways.

There is always that one project where the vision is so crystal clear, the planning is so thought out and the timeline to complete seems so attainable……… But not this one. This project started 365 days ago and just finished for all the wrong right reasons. First……. it started with my indecisiveness with the wall…
I am not much of a contest type of gal. I don’t play the lottery….cause I don’t know how I would spend all that money. Travel Channels Trip of a Lifetime….can’t decide where I would go. Beauty Pageants….Painting doesn’t qualify as a talent Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest…… I can only eat 68 hot dogs in 11…
For brightness, not necessarily whiteness. Let me explain. With a house of more windows then I care to clean and more then the number of football players on a team , my core kitchen is still not very bright. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. Windows are situated across the room and not in this immediate…
This poor room had been through a lot… I actually felt sorry for it. A lot of paint changes, color changes, rug changes, accessory changes and furniture changes. All for good reason though….see this poor room had a case of mistaken identity. When we first built our home, this room was designed as our Family…
Ever since my latest paint project here my confidence with my paint brush is soaring to try new things, to be bold, to be daring, to go places I have never been before. So I took a chance with my built in shelves in my breakfast area and painted them to “lighten” up the space….
There, I said it. I am a late bloomer….. but my reasons have nothing to with puberty.
