Green With Envy

 Decision made! I am changing my plans for the day and staying home again. I am so hoping to tie up all of the loose ends still hanging and driving me crazy. But, before we get to that, why don't we start our St. Pat's tour. Thought I'd better get a shot of the porch before the much colder temperatures that are predicted begin to arrive and I have to drag all of those plants inside. And, for once, I am glad I held off cutting everything back because tonight's temperatures would surely kill off some things if I had.

The only thing different here is that I hung the faux tile shamrock instead of the dummy board wreath...you'll see it on another day in another place.

This is still the most "pinned" photo that I have since another blogger featured it on her site and linked my blog. My grand daughters and I made them years ago to give to family as gifts for St. Pat's Day.

I'm not totally happy with the shelf just yet but it is what it is for now. And, I am really liking the picture that I bought at HL. I think it adds a bit of class and culture to my otherwise "cutesy" decor. LOL

I used a smaller dough bowl on the coffee table this year and it was so much easier to fill than my very large one.

This is where the new shamrock landed. The green glass jug from Walmart is here also. I'm still not sure about that yet either but, since it IS still February, I've got time to think. Lol

I think I added a lot more gold accents since I showed you this when I made it. I like it-gold just seems to go with St. Pat's Day.

So that is this year's living room for now. And, while I was doing this, this was happening in the bedroom...AGAIN!! But, I think I'm finally OK with it. I actually realized that a lot of the odd swish of colors I was looking at are in the original painting of the room. I'm not sure why they're reading as they are but, since all of that was going on, my paint match finally seems good enough. There are also a lot of shadows in that room that kind of make the paint look different each time I look at it. I think my "laboratory" will close for now and unless someone calls me on it, I am DONE! Now of course, I still have to address that cupboard and the small table in the sunroom but they will be for another day.

Tomorrow I'm off with daughter #3 to see my grand daughter show her lamb at this year's Southeastern Youth Fair. Then my grandson will be showing his steer on Monday and daughter #2 is coming down to go with me as daughter #3 will be off with my grand daughter at another out-of-town lacrosse game. Scheduling with these two very active kids gets tricky but, luckily, there seems to be enough of us to represent in all of the places. Lol

Not sure when I'll be back. Until then, stay safe and stay tuned.
