Medallion painting--how-to

Medallions are a wonderful way to accent a chandelier 

and create vertical balance in a room.

My friend has a dining room with 20ft ceilings 

and bought a chandelier that was 6ft high by 4 ft wide.
HUGE!

When you want to show off a chandelier that big, 

you really need to have something substantial at the 

point where the fixture is hanging to create a balanced look.

A Purple Garden Haze

My favorite color as a young girl was purple.

I had to have my entire room purple.

I still love purple...especially in my outdoor rooms.

Springtime brings a wonderful purple tapestry to our yard

with Wisteria and Lavender.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Vintage Greetings!

May the "Luck of the Irish"

be a blessing all year!

National French Onion Soup Day!

Interesting Fact:
Did you know that March 8th is National French Onion Soup Day?

on a cold and rainy day than a steaming hot bowl of soup?
