Where’s my Seat?

In need of a project (who am I kidding…I am addicted to yard sales), I headed out in the humidity on Saturday morning to see what thrifty treasures I could find.

This charming little cabinet with rope trim stole my heart when I came upon it.   The door opens to reveal a shelf.   With skillful negotiating I scored it for $8.    After cleaning it up  and giving it a little bit of TLC, it may become my nightstand.

Who can pass up two chairs for $1.00 apiece?   Not me.

Now I need to decide how I want to transform them whether it be painting them white or staining them a little darker or ???    I guess when I find a fabric I like for the seat (oh wait, there isn’t one) inspiration will come.

What would you would do with these chairs if they were yours?   I refuse to ask my husband that question because he would probably answer “put them in the trash”.

Thanks for popping in.   Hope to see you again soon.

Tale of A Wild Hare

Rain over the last few days and life beyond the computer has kept me busy so I didn’t think I would write a post today.  However, when I saw this darling little rabbit in my yard, I knew I had to take a few photos because they are a hare rare sight around here.

Check out those big black eyes!

Hmmm….something has caught his attention.

I just hope this little bundle of cuteness doesn’t eat my tomato plants!

In closing, here is a joke for your enjoyment.

Q.  Where do rabbits work?

A.  At IHOP restaurants

Thanks for hopping by!

Randomness

Tonight’s post is a collection of random outdoor pictures I took over the past week.

Our gardenia bush’s intoxicating fragrance permeates the air.  

A close up of the white as snow blooms.

Also in bloom is this peach colored hibiscus.

The alligator plant is not in bloom.  It bloomed late in the fall on an approx. 3 ft.  tall “stalk” with an umbrella shaped bloom at the top.

While watering the purslane, I spotted a rogue Johnny Jump Up in the container.   Is it just me or does he have a little pirate face?

Can you see the rainbow in this picture?

Rocking the Tropical Sea

After a year of trying to work up the courage to do it, I took the plunge and painted the front door of our coastal Alabama home turquoise.   The hardware was spray painted black in an effort to minimize costs.    The paint color is Tropical Sea by Behr and is more of a greenish turquoise than a blue.  I think it looks good with the yellow siding and am very happy with the way it turned out.

This is how the door looked before I coastified it.  The dark hunter green with yellow trim wasn’t doing it for me.

The rocker was an estate sale purchase for $20.00.    Ironically it was hunter green also and I painted it white since my mission at this point was to remove all hunter green from the property.

Have you painted anything recently that was out of your comfort zone?

Thanks so much for popping in.    Come back anytime!
