What I've Been Up To

Do you recall the post from last week where I painted my armoire grey?  Well, you didn't think I'd stop there did you?  I decided to add some grey to my clock too.  I love touches of grey now. 

Here she is........

She used to be cream, but now she's the same color as the armoire (Fawn Brindle) only without the distressing.  I decided she was busy enough.  She (I deem her to be a girl) has the wood appliques on her, so I decided to paint those white.

I love how she turned out.  Now I have a touch of grey in all of my rooms! 

I've been busy working on the outside of my home too.  I started decorating for Christmas.  I have just a few snippets to show you.  I will share the whole thing when I'm done.

Here is my wreath on the front door.

Here are some extra large ornaments hanging from my porch.

And finally here is a windowsill all decked out.

I use a lot of color on the outside of my house because I want to be able to see it from the street.  I've tried going more neutral, but it just doesn't work as well.  I use  neutral colors inside.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and didn't eat too much.  I know I did.  I'll be spending this week completing my Christmas decorating, as I know all of you will be too.  It should be a fun week getting to see what everyone has done so far.
