aisle decor

By Meredith

This week I'm thinking about aisle decor and have many ideas.  Below are my favorites.

Mirror Transformation

by Meredith

I found an old mirror while sorting items at my Gram's house.  It's a beautiful white painted antique, wood mirror.  It's perfect except for the chipped paint.  You can easily pick up some spray paint and fix it.  Just remove the mirror and go outside to spray on a few layers until it's completely covered.  Let it dry and wala!

The Past Two Months

by Meredith

I hope my readers have stuck with me over the past two months.  I apologize for not being present, but a lot has gone on.  First, my wonderful boyfriend proposed February 9th, 2013.  We are planning a wedding celebration for July 20th of this year.  Secondly, my beautiful mom and best friend passed away March 20, 2013 after a courageous 26-month battle with brain cancer - a glioblastoma multiforme.  It was the hardest time of my life and I hope the only.  Since early February I've checked out of my normal routine and spent all of my time and energy living in the present and with loved ones.

Now, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things... slowly but surely my blog too will be up and running.

Sending wishes your way for happiness, love, success and health.
