Snowy Morn



We woke up to a snowy morning.  Smokey didn't like the snow too much.








Stay warm and thanks for visiting.

Sherwin Williams Chip It



Sherwin Williams has a new color tool called Chip It.  You can load any photo from the web, and a color palette will be selected to coordinate with the colors of your photo.




Click on Sherwin Williams Chip It to give it a try.





Another great tool to use when planning your color schemes.

The Blue Hour


This photo of driftwood and candles was taken at the blue hour.

Wikipedia states the blue hour comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.

Kitchen: Phase 1 and Photo Tips


I decided to paint the kitchen walls with Sherwin Williams in Sea Salt.  I love it!  It's light with just a whisper of color, and my blue and white plates pop against this color.


I still want to paint the cabinets white, but I'll wait until it warms up so I can sand the doors outside.

The next two photos were taken before the walls were painted.






Susan at Between Naps on the Porch has an excellent post about photo tips that have changed my life.  I'm not kidding.  I have struggled with taking indoor photos; they always turn out so dark no matter how much I play with the settings.  Susan at BNOTP has some must read, easy to understand photo tips. 


Are you wondering how you're going to edit your photos once Picnik goes away?  I've been a little concerned, but I figured the big girls (the experienced bloggers) would tell us what our options are; and that's exactly what's happening.  The following links are some of the blogs I've stumbled across that have written about our photo editing options once Picnik goes away.

Driftwood and Candles



When I saw this ad in a magazine, I knew I had the perfect piece of driftwood in the yard.  I went out in the garden during a January thaw and grabbed this piece of driftwood.  




I love the driftwood and candles from this inspiration photo.

A Day in the Life of a Cat


A day in the life of Smokey Bear.


Catching some sunshine and zzzzzzz's. 


One of Smokey's favorite places is high on top the hutch.

 A good stretch.


Take time to smell the flowers.  This is why I use faux plants.
