• My Response To The Author Of When Least Expected

  I whole~heartedly agree.Words can poison, words can sting, words can crush…if they are used with ill will and malice.And yet, the same pen can create love, joy, beauty and prose….it can spill words onto parchment so eloquent…the reader is taken to tears…The difference lies within the author, the writer, the user…and that is indeed a power that can be mind chilling and yet so satisfying for the soul.Love,The Muse Did you like this?

• ~The Little Cupboard~

  I have had loads of fun….the cupboards are actually now attached to the wall! And I adore the barn red paint glaze I made. For some added interest…I am toying with wood braid/twist molding. Do you like it? This little section is going to do something very special…it will hold a coffee maker… And we all know what an important appliance that is (don’t we)? LOL Did you like this?

• ~A Bit of Home~

  The little parlor in The Painted Nest, is waiting… she lingers between fall and winter. Thanksgiving will find her adorned in deep rust reds. Her memory table drawer will be redone… with new treasures of family heritage. In this old room, new memories will be made. New pillows will adorn her feather sofa. Little hearts filled with expectation will giggle and shout. I love the word “home”, don’t you? Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~A Wee Bit of Fabric~

  I am not really sure that you can put a specific design name to The Painted Nest. Our cottage doesn’t fall into one style category, for it reflects not only our farm life…but our outside interests. (click pics to enlarge~if you dare!) Items we have gathered on our travels here and abroad…fill our home…as well as wondrous treasures passed from generation to generation. And there are handmade treasures that tell secret stories. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~Colored Pencil Sketches~

  Not every rustic home, such as a log home has rustic furnishings. There are times when rustic applications such as stone and timbers will meet the flair of contemporary styles. In these sketches I show how the love of Italian modern pieces can be brought into the country getaway lifestyle.   Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~Painting My Own Kitchen Cabinets~

  (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!
