• ~I Dream~

  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 [...]

• ~This and That Tuesday~

  Today’s Game is : Gossip Rules of Play: (1) I (The Muse) offer my first reader a sentence. (2) They must take that sentence and change only one word. (3) This new sentence will become the next reader’s sentence. (4) And in turn, each reader, changes only one word. (5) The objective is to not use any one word, twice (if you catch a comment that has not followed the rules…LOL…make sure you type in the word “GOSSIP” this signifies [...]

• Tablescape And Trash To Treasure All In One

  Acres of hidden treasure… In boxes and bins… All holding hidden beauty… All latent~silent gems… Under piles amassed… A hoarder’s stash… Of would be~could be… And should have beens. The Muse gathered her coinage… And smartly thus… Bought a wondrous bounty… As to make pirates lust…. A silver teapot battered about… A bird whose wing was weak… Not secure or truly stout… Paper roses wrinkled and worn… Their edges thread tattered and torn… Potpourri whose scent had gone… Yes, the [...]

• ~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!

• Air of Areola (Prose…WARNING…not for the faint hearted)

  Please, be aware: This prose pays homage, in a lighthearted fashion to part of the female anatomy. …….. …………. …………………. A’s and B’s…… C’s and D’s…… Even Up To F’s and E’s… I grace the world… With all I’ve got… And trust you me… That’s not a lot! I proudly display… But with discretion… The mammary mounds… Of my true loves affection. I rue not a day… Nor hour… That I play… For even on occasion… (And with not much [...]

• ~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

• Way ~ Back ~ When ~ Wednesday

  I take you back…To memories sweet…Of things remembered…In your sleep. Bring them now…To share the light…To smile of things…Oh so bright. Cradled deep…In hearts and souls….Listen now…For they be told…Remembered by…Both young and old. (2008 The Muse) Question this week for my readers is this:“What was the color/style of your bedroom when you were a teenager?” Muse says: orange & blue color scheme, style…hand me down chic ! I recall at age 13, I had found 3 rolls of discount [...]

• ~Little Miss Muffet~

  Here is the Muse’s tuffet. A flea market find bought for one solitary dollar. Now certainly you cannot imagine that a muse of any good reputation can let that piece of treasure remain in the cottage without adding layer upon layer… that’s right it is time to musefi~!

• ~Living Room Tweaking~

  Keeping it cozy in taupe ~ The defining pieces are the chandelier, once brass…no problem, spray painted black it warms up the space. Once heavy drapes replaced now with a simple pumpkin linen. Once red brick was too brash, answer..Paint! The finale to this room was not to simply disguise a no longer used fireplace, but to make the space work…just in a different way. A custom designed unit was built to complete the “meant to always be here” look [...]

• ~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 [...]
