Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. ~ John Keats

Been Gone Too Long!

Well.. It's not officially Summer here on the Chesapeake... But boy sure does feel like it! It reached 90 yesterday! I kept myself busy inside with the AC cranking.. painting things White... Yep.. still at it! :) 

Right now we are working on our oak railing that separates the living room from the foyer area & just finished painting 2 small tables...But for now I wanted to share a few peeks of the crown moulding I mentioned awhile back... 


As you can see we went with inside & outside corner pieces to make things a lot easier... We are still trying to decide about the bottom half of the wall.. we were thinking..chair & box moulding painted White... See that railing off to the right.. That's all White now.. :)


I've also added a small crystal chandelier in that right corner.. hangs in front of the round mirror.. such a pretty reflection.. I still need to take a photo to share..





The next photo is a shot of the new chandelier that now hangs in the foyer... It started out black.. I spray painted it Aged Bronze... I thought I could live with it...But it's really too dark for me & eventually want to repaint it...  just so you know... not white! lol! I'm dreading taking off all of those crystals...


Still need to get a pretty chain cover for it too....


Hope all of you have a Beautiful Week! ~ T ♥

  17. Hello Teresa! I just wanted to pop in and say hi and to say thank you for your sweet birthday message. It was so wonderful to hear from you.

    I tried to leave a comment on your clip that you linked up to Sunday Song but it wouldn't let me so I thought I'd try here.

    I hope you have been well and that you will pop in again soon for another visit.

    Take care and best wishes,
