My Unordinary Valentine!

I wanted to do something different for my Valentine decoration this year, but what? I was cleaning  out some wood in the barn and created a pile of wood trim pieces that I used for testing paint colors. I hated to throw them away, but they were small pieces and not really "Valentine" colors. My mind started to work and I thought, why not a Valentine plaque. So here is what I created.

Now let me tell you how I did this.

Broken washing machine, means new floor!

Nothing like seeing water floating all over your laundry room floor to make your day. Well that is what happened last Monday. Our laundry room is between the kitchen and the garage. Water ran into the garage but not into the kitchen. I had projects out there that had to come up off the floor and be dried off. What a mess!

The new washing machine couldn't be delivered until Wednesday night. We had put down Brazilian Cherry re-engineered flooring in the great room and into the kitchen. We stopped where the kitchen meets the laundry. It has been that way for 2 years. 

Here's the new floor. The dogs seem to like it. This is their area since I feed them here and their water bowl is here.

Old Wine Box gets a Facelift

I have a strong love of boxes. It is hard for me to pass up any type of box at a flea market or garage sale. You can do so many things with them. So when I saw these boxes at a garage sale a few years ago, I had to get them. Of course the price - 50 cents each, was also a contributing factor.

Some Red Color in the Cold

I know that many of you are dealing with extremely cold temperatures. We even dropped down to the low 40's last night. I know, get serious. It was cold for Florida.

Before the cold hit last night, I was outside with the dogs and saw this bit of red calling to me. As I got closer, I realized that these plants were blooming. It was so pretty that I thought I would send a little brightness to everyone who is trying to keep warm.
