After posting yesterday's decorating tip of the day....I decided that it would be prudent to post a before and after picture. Please note: I decided to skip the illustrated step of "throw in laundry", you'll have to imagine that part. So , the top picture is of the patio door, BEFORE, with a cheapy little garland over the curtain rod. I twist some of the "pine" around the rod. This is all I got done the other day. So....Babysteps....then supper happened and dishes happened....and everyone scattered and I had the kitchen table all to myself. That is an important part of the process. Then I retrieved various nature things from the garage to the tabletop and began the process.... And the lower on is the AFTER shot . Not picture is the lovely glass of Red Currant Merlot I had while "working". There are boughs of cedar, dogwood branches, dried porcupine grass, and that's it. There was no need for rosehips...I'll use them in a swag outside. I think that'll be my next project....cause we wouldn't want to run out of projects!
No time for a tip today...it took all my time and patience to download these.....see ya!

Great job, looks great.Truly a talent, to take something cheap and make it look like a piece of art.Have a great day,
Love Elisabeth
Just wonderful. Great taste in decorating. Does the Merlot make it easier? Or just more "gezellig"?
I think you should make a book with tips!
Have a good one, Randall.
I love it... It actually makes me want to try and make something that excellent. Juuuust maybe. Haha. Dad is the one getting ambitious now. He wants you to write a whole book. At least you could make some money off of that. hehe. Hope that today is a great one for you and thanks for writing on your blog, i loved reading it after my busy day at GEMS and Work. Love you lots!
