  3. Hillary it's so campy, wish I had a cabin on a lake in the woods! And that painting complements the green perfectly - great styling! Less is more for sure.

  8. Springtime it is . I wonder if we have that color here in Holland ..... It is a pleasure to see how you enjoy what you do . Inspiring too !
    I used to be a big BLUE-fan and than years ago something RED came along and another one and now I guess I am more of a RED-fan .
    Green .... only in my garden . Have a wonderful weekend !

  12. Hilary,

    Beautiful furniture make-overs! Isn't Annie's paint just the best? I love it too, but am just getting started using it. You, on the other hand, are quite the pro! I'm having the best time scrolling through your blog, looking at your work!
