Peanut butter eggs and birds

 

My dear neighbor lady calls and says she has something for us.

 Well, Easter is very soon and that could only mean one thing, "Peanut butter eggs!"

 She makes the best peanut butter eggs ever!

Are you watching the Bible on the History channel? 

 I've been watching since the beginning and enjoy it.

 

I made these cute little birds out of scrapbooking paper. I hung them on some lighted branches.

 

 

I can't believe Easter is next week! 

 I wish spring would just come. 

 Tomorrow the weather men are saying we are getting snow.

 

 

I hope you have a great week!

Easter Table

I love Easter time.

  It means celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord.

Christ the Lord is risen today Al-le-lu-ia!

 

Sons of men and angels say Al-le-lu-ia!

 

Raise your joys and triumps high Al-le-lu-ia.

 

Sing ye heav'ns and earth reply Al-le-lu-ia.

 

I love this beautiful hymn!

 

Hope you have a great day.

Spring Mantel

My Mantle is ready for Spring!

 

I can't believe Easter is almost here.
I have some pictures of last years Easter table that I will show you in another post.

 

Sherbet loves this chair! She thinks she owns it!

 

Check out the cute, vintage pages from an old ABC book.

 

 

I made a little bunting from drop cloth.

 

 

 

 

Simple and uncluttered.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Spring mantle.

Hope you have a great day!

Kitchen Before and After

My kitchen was in a desperate need of a makeover. 

The dark stained cabinets had no life.

They lacked the brightness I needed in my kitchen.

After looking at several different blogs on how to paint kitchen cupboards,

 I made up my mind to just go for it!

It really wasn't that hard.

I primed them first with Kilz oil based primer.

Then I went to Lowes and bought a gallon of Olympic Kitchen and Bath Latex.

The color I picked out was a lovely creamish white color called Milk Paint.

I primed and gave them two coats.

 

Here is the Before.

 

 

And here is the After.

 

I love how cheery and bright the kitchen is now.

What a difference a little bit of paint makes.

I love my new kitchen!

Are you ready to take the challenge?

Go for it!

Paint those kitchen cupboards white!

Don't be in fear!

New Blog

Welcome to my new blog Avenue Living.

I enjoy decorating my 1900's house on a busy avenue in southern Pennsylvania.

I love vintage things.  I also enjoy re purposing things into something beautiful. 

I can't wait to show you some of things I have done in our home.

Ideas are always swirling around in my head. What can I do next..... Are you like that?

 I have a black and white composition book that I'm always writing or sketching ideas.

Writing this blog might help me get more motivated to start projects and finish them.

 

 

Well here's to a new blog.

I hope you will come along with me as I decorate and talk about life.
