Wicker Chair

I bought this chair at a local antique store.  

I loved the size and shape of the chair, but could forgo the flower painted on the chair.  It was nothing a little paint wouldn't fix. 

Screen Porch

We took the day off of work on Monday to work on our screen porch.  It is about to be perfect weather for sitting out on the screen porch and enjoying the weather.  We had to cut the screen on the porch to remove the refrigerator from the house, and Angie had created two other holes in the screen. 

Removing the old screen.

Enlarging and moving the door opening.  The door was a single door and we made it a double door.

Staining the screen doors.

Proof that I do more than just take pictures!

Angie can't resist posing for a photo.

So Long Sweet Summer

What a wonderful summer!  We got so much accomplished on the house!  (I'll save that for another post, though.)  As fall sneaks in I wanted to post a few pictures from the summer that never made it to the blog.

Blueberries in our back yard.  I froze some to make Spiced Blueberry Muffins this fall.

September First

 

I have always loved this living room in the Cottage Living New Orleans Idea House.  The colors  remind me of the beginning of fall.  There is a crispness in the air on September first (even here in the south!)  

I love the Bevolo lanterns in the room.

Fireplace and Bookshelves

I just snapped this picture tonight. Not quite "staged," but pretty close to complete none the less.

It's Wednesday Night.....

... and I'm still thinking about last weekend.

Friday afternoon after my first 40 hour work week in over a year, Britton and I took Angie to join Mary Kathryn and Lewis at the waterfalls in Abbieville.  Angie chased Lewis's puppy Minnie Lou and the other two puppies all over the place.  It was a very relaxing end to a long week. Mary-Katheryn took the photo above and several others she posted on her blog, Almost Famous.
