I have been doing painting of all sorts for the past couple of days. After most of the tiles are up on my fireplace, we discovered that we are short of one row of "good" tiles, so I painted some more today. Notice the yellow tile in the middle has a heart in it?

I also spray painted the urns. I wanted to get a bit more creative with it, so I painted them two tones, one white and one celery. Maybe a couple more coats will go on tomorrow, and they are ready for the front yard!

My shoes are stained with paint, but I think it gives them more character:)

A possible new light for our bedroom. I ordered this orb light from Ballard Designs, however, after seeing it in person I had to stop myself because I decided that it's too "cold" in my house! There's something I learned from internet shopping, is that what's right for A LOT of people doesn't necessarily mean it's right for me. On a second thought, an old house like mine, an antique light such as this one might just go well with it?

I have been doing some serious back breaking work on our fireplace tiles. Our contractors are no where in sight, just me and the masonry guys toughing it out. I can't wait to see the finished product, at this point I just want it to finish!
