• Brave Bird ~ Blue Monday ~ Image

  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! (another work from the young Muse, age 12) Seen here 2009 Submitted as participation [...]

• ~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 Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~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 Did you like this?

• Think ~ A ~Thought ~ Thursday

  Rules of Play: (1) I (The Muse) offer my first reader a set of words. (2) The first blog reader must take those words and use them to make a coherent sentence. Posting it in the comment box (3) Then, the next reader, must use the SAME words (originally given, by The Muse) and make ANOTHER sentence. ******************************* It will look something like this: Muse gives the words: cat, mouse and dog 1st reader: The cat chased the mouse while [...]

• ~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 [...]

• ~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. [...]
