Get the lead out.

Between coats of paint, I've been doing a little spring cleaning

and trying to lighten things up in the living room.

I haven't got a green thumb when it comes to keeping houseplants alive, 

but this African Violet has been around for 15 or 20 years.  :o)
(Psssst.  It's not real.)

Do you remember this lead glass window I found last summer?

I didn't like the way it blocked the view to the back yard,

so I packed it away until I found a spot to hang it.

 Insert theme song from Jaws here.......

 If ever I had any doubts about painting the walls and trim in this room,

all I have to do is look at this photo.

Dark and gloomy.

 

This window is heavy, but it sure lightens up this corner of the room!

I have no idea why the loveseat looks electric blue in this shot,

but you get the idea.  I found the picnic basket for $2.99 at the thrift shop (great deal),

but I had to replace the vintage blue & white plate I broke whilst rearranging
with another in my stash.  I'm not even going to tell you about my paint spill in the kitchen. 

You win some, you lose some.

By the way, the paint color this indecisive painter chose for the kitchen cabinets is.......
Timid White.  How funny is that?
I think they named the color just for me, and I hope Benny gives me a deal because
 I'll be buying one more quart today.
Cha ching!

For Rita.

  

Enjoy the sunshine and thanks for visiting!
