Weathered? yes. Worn? yes. Forgotten? never. A faded whiteness, almost gray… Called out to me… Across the market way… I rushed to touch… The grainy sides… The cool concrete… Caused my pulse to rise… Its hefty weight… Of giant mass… Would find a home… It would be mine at last… Muse 2010 There are few things as thrilling, as spying a used treasure and being able to bring it home…I think this urn has a new life in its future, perhaps a [...]

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 [...]
~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 [...]

(pictures follow) We are thankful that a marvelous Christmas season was had…one that allowed all of our family to be together, sons, daughters, grandchildren and my husband’s father. Dad has been in the hospital for weeks now and we miss him. We found out today that he has begun to bleed in his stomach again. The prognosis is not good. Our hearts are low. We think back to the last times we were all together…Christmas. A season of love. Very [...]

I dream…yes, I dream of sounds; fish splashing, birds chirping, darting to and fro…I dream of the lake…the sound of our boat churning…the grandchildren’s laughter as they swim…All those lovely sounds. Then, I dream of scents. The lush aromas of lovely gardens that have my mark…of raw wood that has aged for decades…of rusty metal that sizzles in the summer sun. I dream of barbeques and fresh fruit…the scent of freshly mowed grass…of horse feed fresh from the silo. The [...]
