• “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 [...]

• 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 [...]

• ~The Tile Tango~

  The options for tile are almost limitless. It is easy to be lured in to the purchase of blending tiles, creating a mix and match elaborate pattern can be very appealing. And yet, so much can be done with a singularity of choice. If budgets are of concern (and most of us know that restraint) remember to pick a tile that can make statement in regards to the feeling or style you are trying to relay for the room. For [...]

• Friday ~ Roast And Toast

  Raise your glass… Raise your spear… Lift up your voice… So all may hear. Be they raves… Or be they rants… Sing praises in sonnets… Or admonishments in chants. Roast those misbehaving… Who vex and cavort… Whose little stings… Of subversion… Put you out of sorts. Toast those visions… Who enchant and mesmerize… Whose poignant art Of caring… Will not be compromised. So roast or toast… But make your boast … Of those that passed… Your weekly path… Hold fast!

• ~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!

• ~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

• ~ 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 [...]

• Think~A Thought ~ Thursday

  Rules of Play: (1) I (The Muse) offer my first reader a word. (2) They must take that word and use it in a sentence. Posting it in the comment box (3) Then they must GIVE another word, whose letter starts with the last letter of the previous word…. Shall we play? The word which I gift to thee is: Customary (so the very next reader, should use the word customary in a sentence…and then offer up a NEW word, [...]
