Finally Getting The Garden Ready

I’ll start off by saying I’m tired. Sweet Joe’s cooking up some food and I’m upstairs writing this post. This is real life as it’s Sunday, May 14 at 7:05 p.m. I’m happy and tired by the way. Not a glum tired. We worked in the yard ALL day and while I’d love to finish my secretary (it’s done!) and numerous other projects, I really need to get my butt in gear with the garden.

I’m not a fancy person with expensive taste in clothing, lifestyle, or home decor. It just doesn’t fit with our laid back way of living. The biggest thing is I’m not willing to spend lots of money on things just to achieve a look no matter what style it is.  It doesn’t mean I don’t like fancy decor styles. It just isn’t something I lean towards when decorating. Oh, and I have no eye for decorating my home at all! Continue reading “DIY Silver Plated Tray & Sconce Votive Centerpiece”
