The Chinoiserie Pumpkin

It all began when I was invited to attend a blogger luncheon at  Tina's from The Enchanted Home. I was to be among some of the most talented bloggers and women that I admire and I wondered ."what can I bring to the table?" It was October and being a former mural artist the only thing I could think of was painted pumpkins.  I never dreamed they would be something that people would actually want.  I am so grateful to Tina and other's who have promoted my little hobby of painting pumpkins, it has become a little side job now! I have  some stock right now of medium to mini pumpkins. I love to paint, so really the sky is the limit as to what I can try to design on them. Right now Chinoiserie in blue and white seems to be the hit! Please email me -towncountryinteriors@yahoo.com if  you are interested in prices and availability.  

I truly appreciate all the love I have received for these little guys! Happy Autumn all!

-Below are an example of the pumpkins that I have painted for customers.

Robert Allen Naturals

First I want to say THANK YOU for all the lovely comments on my fun little Leopard Powder room reveal. It was so much fun doing that tiny space that now has big personality. 
 Have you seen the Robert Allen's extended Naturals collection. I's so versatile! I love the colors and the simplicity of the patterns. I think some of them are just perfect for a guest room, so I thought I would share my favorites and show how I would use them. To see the entire collection go HERE!

Crave more color - how about this pretty little room!

Peak At Powder Room!

I am so excited that my dear friend's house is finally coming together! We installed both powder room and living drapery yesterday, and all the furniture pieces are in place too. It's just time to accessorize now!
I just love how the powder room turned out and I thought I would share it with you . Yes, I am giving out a few secrets because I like you !
I cannot wait to share the living room with you when it is accessorized, so stay tuned.

It started with a thrift shop lamp that cost $7.00!  This hanging fixture did need rewiring but that was a minimal cost. Then it definitely needed some updating and spunk. That's when good old model car paint and a gold marker came into play.  Model car paint is fabulous! It goes on glossy and stays glossy.  It also  comes in a variety of fun colors. The gold marker is just plain easy to work with. 

Then we wondered -"What color do we choose"?

That's when this trim below chose it for us!

Look at this little rescue in it's new home!

That lovely little Samuel & Son's tape trim found it's way onto our great valances.

Here are a few little secrets...

Testors brand model paint you can find at Michaels or Walmart.

Find at Joann's Fabric
