Published in American Miniaturist!

I am thrilled to tell you that there is an article on my little Bed and Breakfast room in the September issue of American Miniaturist Magazine!
 
 It was a wonderful surprise to have this little magazine arrive on my doorstep on a bleak winters day!

Many thanks to Auralea for inviting me to be part of this lovely publication.

Past the Point of No Return!

No point in sitting around waiting for things to happen...however if I did have to sit on one of those chairs I'd choose pink...always pink! 
I painted the chairs as a pretty diversion from the BIG job...
 
Sometimes I ask myself why I've started renovating this big little house for a third time.
It wasn't an easy thing to start.
I did take all the furniture out and then put it all back in again!
As you know I stripped out the kitchen...and then I started filling it up but soon realised if I was going to renovate properly I'd have to strip the whole house out all at once...so one cold rainy day that's what I did.
And here it is...way past the point of no return.
 
Right back to the bare bones!
Scary stuff!
But I have plans...although they change every day.
 
Finally we had some sun in the weekend and I was able to drag this house outside and start the exterior makeover.
Of course no sooner had I started when the rain came back!
I'm so over winter...would you people in the Northern Hemisphere please send summer my way!


I did a bit of café hopping while I figured out what to do next...I soon figured out that three mochaccino's in one day does not help my creative process!
