FALL_ AT MY HOMESTEAD

Well, The Frost is certainly on the pumpkin in Massachusetts!

finally posting pics of the homestead dressed for Fall

and it snowed here the other day!...

I just painted my door red, It is less pink in person.

I used the same stain that I covered the fence I had made

last year- see post.

I have also added copper along the bottom of the house. 

The original wood work form 1796 was getting bad and it cannot be replaced as in it part of the base of the house. I love the verdigris patina it is developing.

TAKE A LOOK: MY CLIENT"S KITCHEN!

Sharing a client's kitchen I decorated.

This project included selecting all finishes: tile, counter tops, lighting, paint, furniture,

window treatments, art, accessories, etc...

Roosters are the theme all year round with beaded fruit and greens perfect

for fall into the holiday season.

Tiffany style ceiling lights add a vintage glow to the room to enhance the

more functional down spot lighting a kitchen requires.

Hope you enjoy and have a great week...

Nature's Inspiration

I am inspired by nature. While on a leisurely walk I discovered a pair of acorn caps that were connected to each other. Instantly I thought about the fact that I was a twin, and stashed them in my pocket. It's portrait now hangs on my living room bookshelves among vintage books...

My medium of choice is a combination of a traditional printed etching and mono print. First I drew the picture, scratched really, onto a steel plate, etched it in acid, inked it with printers ink, put it through a press to transfer the image onto paper. Loved creating it and the results makes me smile - twin Kev and me...

Nextchapter, Etsy artist, represents acorns in these striking earrings, perfect for fall. Thank you Common Ground for all your inspiration and for Inspiration Friday...
