• 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 [...]

• ~Almost Home~

  Official snow count…40 inches. Farming is hard work in the best of weather, but in winter…the true love of the craft comes to light.  There is no one else in this world that has my undying adoration, than my beloved. 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

  Living in rugged terrain… has its ups and downs…! There are problems with deliveries, difficulties with the earth yet there are wonderful natural resources, such as stone~rock~and boulders. Do you wonder why in the world anyone would go through all this? Let me help you with that inquiry… THE VIEW ! *(Outdoor Wednesday~Hostess Ms Susan)* **************************************************** *(Wordless Wednesday~Hostess Ms Dixie)* THEME: Mother Speaking Volumes…Without Saying A Word Did you like this?

• ~ Boudoir’s Cry For Help~

  Once upon a time, (well, not so very long ago), a lovely hotel, cried out for help. They had an excellent staff…the cuisine was impeccable…their amenities were unsurpassed. All this was being offered to the public for a fantastic price.  And yet, they obviously needed something for their bookings had begun to fade. It was quite clear, from this designer’s viewpoint, the rooms (while wonderfully maintained) were dated and not in a good way. The traditional qualities of the suites, the lobby and [...]

  Spring ! She has burst forth Ever fruitful Ever bearing And all her beauty She is sharing… Amidst the cold And dark deep nights She slept In waiting For this, her plight… To linger with us But for a moment In time… Mere days To display Her greenery So fine!

• “Tablescape Tuesday” ~ Picture

  White dishware can offer so many options… Each holiday or event can be celebrated with basic pieces of white china or stoneware. For this Christmas table, the colors of silver and blue are combined with white to create this modern setting…the objective…to create an effect that would play off the branches (seen in the vases)… Add some wispy white feathers, blue and white snowflake tablecloth, miniature tea lights,(sprinkled with gold glitter) and a few silver ornaments…voila, the table becomes an [...]

• Pink Saturday Has Arrived

  AT PINK SATURDAY YOU WILL GET ADDICTED… FOR THE SEARCH ! Oh sure, everyone has PINK boots… (I do, don’t you?) BUT, does your horse? (well, ok, technically these are leg warmers…and, yes I have those too!) Who would have ever dreamed, that The MUSE, would have such fun on Pink Saturday? I looked to the heavens for inspiration… And it was given Dropped right out of the sky and hit me on the head! (A most loved hat of [...]

• ~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 [...]

  BRAVE BIRD Hear my faint and tender pleas… Gently carried upon the breeze… I grow cold and the world grows dark… I can find no sparrows, finches or larks… The trees give me no shelter, no haven to rest… I search endless hours to find a warm nest… The first to arrive, I am brave, yes I know… But this little robin, doesn’t like the snow!
