• ~One Little Closet To Rule Them All~

  Oooops! Forgot to take a true BEFORE~. But close your eyes and imagine the closet without the rich blue… Ok, that was easy enough! As you can see…the closet, all white, needed a serious design lift. So, out came the paint brushes and the paint.  In the Muse’s cottage, if you stand still, long enough you are apt to get painted (that is simply a legend…a fable~one that has some basis of truth). lol The closet is a mere 30 inches [...]

• ~What Did The Postman Bring~

  Ding Dong…Ding Dong… The Postman Rang Twice… Shall we open the box together…? Oh goodness..Wisteria. Let’s! Isn’t this gorgeous? The Muse loves the color! Mmmmm where will it go? Perhaps in front of the fireplace in the painted parlor…perhaps. I do believe that my beloved has been peeking into my well loved Wisteria catalog! Its pages are well worn…with my wish list items circled, starred and rated. Now there is another box…shall we open, or have tea first? Tea first, [...]

  (camera date is not set~my apologies) After much thought, I have decided this Muse cannot live in a white kitchen(I appreciate them, and the beauty they posses)but, they simply are not Musey enough for me …so I have made my own paint mix…and now the beauty of creation begins!

• ~A New Design Path~

  There are always rooms and spaces at The Painted Nest which need some sprucing up. Our beloved cottage is in a constant state of  “creation”. And I love it, I certainly do For me, color is my companion. So imagine my beloved’s shock, when this color palette was placed before him! Admittedly, this would be a new path for me. The Muse has creamy antique white accents throughout her cottage…but there is not a room which totally embraces the hue. [...]

  Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan By now, most of you know that the design team here loves white china! It can be used in all types and styles of spaces…from formal to casual…from modern to victorian and everything in between. Even if a style request is not what you would do for yourself, there are always lessons to learn and challenges to win! And so, we offer yet, another example The modern touch begins when the square plates are used [...]

• My Someone Loves Me

  Remember These? (from a trash to treasure event?) I made such a “to do” … the price and the pattern. I created a treasure and blogged about them.

I simply adore my number one fan! To the best husband a Muse could ever [...]
