Met Monday :~)

Welcome Monday! I am once again joining Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for her wonderful Monday party!!

I have had QUITE the weekend let me tell you! I decided after getting the new door :) that of course call for MORE projects! Of course...right?

The first project was "relatively" easy. I wanted to move the below rug into my kitchen! I know, I know, everyone in my house has said, "I have never seen a rug in a kitchen." Well, they have now....

This would be Sissie trying to stay up high and out of the way of a certain Bella....

And this would be the kitchen with said rug on said floor....

What do we think??

I think it warms the room up. I HATE the tile in my kitchen! It is white! I mean, who does that? WHITE TILE! Cold, impersonal and so not easy to keep clean! Yes, it could get dirty, I will be careful! It's just a rug after all...no big deal, right? If I decide I don't like it, I can always move it back!

Second project of the weekend, painting the dining room. It has anaglypta paper on the bottom half below the chair rail which was painted deep red (see first photo) with a pale gold on the top. I was ready for a lighter and brighter look.



Beth at from The Stories from A to Z says that the BEST green color in the world is Benjamin Moore Rosemary Twig! Hey, I took her at her word and went and got a gallon. Didn't look at a swatch, just told the girl what color paint I wanted and took it to the house.

Luckily..... Beth was right! I love the color.




This is the before...


After...


I also changed the overlay on the table.
It was deep red velvet and I got a couple of yards of
fabric from Hobby Lobby and just threw it over the table.

I am really happy with the way it turned out. BUT...see that buffet thingy back there? Needs to be painted...and, the rug that I moved out to the kitchen? Needs to be replaced....

My work is NEVER done...

I'm just sayin'

Thanks for your visit so much
