Onto better news!!!...I CAN SEE!!!!!!!...I CAN SEE!!!!....I CAN SEE!!!!....I didn't realize how bad my eyesight had gotten til I tried on a pair of reading glasses...I got me a pair last weekend on our trip to Northwest Georgia and Chattanooga, TN to celebrate the 4th with both and all sides of our families...
So you know what that means???!!!???....I feel a cool breeze ever so faintly!!!...Fall is in the air!!!...I see pumpkins, witches, black cats, and some of my painted boxes in the works for Fall offerings!!!...Is it Fall yet???...No, but it will be here before you know it!!!...So I need to get started now that I can actually see the linen!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I finally got pics taken of my shaker cabinets.....I painted mine black instead of blue since they no longer sell the blues I always used...They are sanded and distressed...You just can't tell from the pics...
In the hallway....
Tim's side of the bed....Awesome!!!...We've never had side tables ...Now to get them decorated with a few items...
My side.....
And by the back door in the family room....

Have a great weekend

Hi Jen....Your cabinets are gorgeous! They look great where you have them placed. Your home is prim perfect. You just know how to decorate so well. I love the glasses. You will look so sophisticated...hehe. Now, you need to take care of yourself so that you are all well before the big magazine shoot. My daughter had something similar to you and she is still coughing....not fun.
What a great Mom for passing out the magazines to the whole family!
Last, your husband did a fine job on the two cupboards that he made. He must be a very talented man. I can't wait to see where you place them.
Get better. Great post.
Friends,
Susannah
WOW! I love the little cabinets! And the wall cabinet is awesome! I love coverlets too and think they look great anywhere!
Have a great weekend.
Your cabinets look great!!! And the "redware".....love it!!!
Wow, you've been busy! Everything looks fabulous! Yah, those "reader glasses"... I have pairs lying all over the house! (my "extra-strength" ones are in my studio)! Becky
Hey girl, love all the cabinets!!

Hi Jen, I looooove your cabinets and I was shopping today and forgot to look for them! Darn.
Yours are so wonderful and I love the cabinet all decorated.
Now Tim is sooo handy! Beautiful cabinets and I can feel your excitement about CS coming to your house - been there so I know!!!!
Hugs, Karen
Hello Jen~I'm a bit new to your blog and just wanted to say that I love your cabinets! Love your new "readers" too! (: Like you, I am already looking to fall...it's my favorite season! I don't yet have a subscription to the Mercantile but hope to get a copy with your home in it! Best wishes for your shoot, and I hope you feel better soon!~Kathy
Love your cupboards Jen! They turned out great and you found just the right spots for them. I like the matching on either side of the bed. I Really like your plates in the other cupboard. Very nice! Jayne
They look great...I am gonna get one next week! I hope you have time to share those redware secrets with us! Beth
Great cabinets. And of course love the color. Still try to talk hubby into our being paint black.

Hi Jen, I'm relatively new to your blog, but quickly linked you to my blog! Love the cabinets, your decorating..you are such an inspiration! I don't know about your area, but here in Ohio the mold is terrible. I've been sick for weeks! Thought it was going into pnuemonia, but thankfully not. Just a bad allergy attack. Have had to turn on air, that's helped a little. You feel better, and good luck with the shoot.
I think it's Ragweed out now because I have ezcema from it.
Oh, the nights are cool up here in North Ga. even in July. We love it here and the reason we moved from the Augusta area 8 years ago! And when that first bit of Fall is in the air, it's wonderful up here!

These look great!
Cabinets look warm and worn. Great job.
Glad you can see, only bad thing now you can see if your dust bunnies are hiding.ha.
I am sure you are excited about CS doing your home. I picked up the Mercantile in Waynesville on Sat. and read it all last night. Super job on your home. I know having people doing pictures of you home in nerve racking but so worth it, I was lucky enough that RugHooking Mag. wanted a prim home with prim rugs so mine was done last yr. But it was fun and such great people to work with. I will be watching for CS with new pics from your talented hands and also your husbands also.
Just found your blog. I love it. I've added you to my blog roll. The cabinets are great. I wish I had your eye for decorating. I can make prim things but when it comes to displaying them I stink at it.
JEN GF I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH ALL YOUR CABINETS! THEY LOOKS SO GOOD IN YOUR HOME! I CAN TELL BY YOUR PICS HOW MUCH LOVE GOES INTO EVERYTHING YOU DO!--DAWN
I don't think I have seen these cabinets at Michaels, must check again. I can't wait to see how you painted your plates!!!!!
Hint, Hint. I have some wood plates that I have just waiting to try your technique. Hint, Hint
Did I tell you Hint, Hint enough, If I didn't here goes again.
Checking everyday. LOL
Blessings~Cheryl
