for my dream board...and my dream boat!

 way before Pinterest...

we were all pinning to our own little big dream boards.

i still keep a few inspiration boards around the house.

there's one in the kitchen, one on my side of the bed, and one in my craft room.

today, i am pinning an image that i found here.

i LOVE to visit her!

Sharon, i cannot even begin to tell you how much your blog inspires me!

oh!... how i wish to take the doors off of my 

UGLY kitchen cabinets!

oh!... how i want the lower cabinets to wear skirts! 

you don't see a lot of this look in America. everything is 

quite beautifully finished wood and granite right now! 

i adore the non contrived look of this kitchen!

functional living, by design. 

 i am not certain that Mr D would be smitten with

the idea of taking all of the doors off of the kitchen cabinets.

he has,  however, embraced the my quest of a French industrial look.

we recently ordered this.

we finally came to terms on how to display our black
flat screen. it is presently sitting atop my great grandmother's
vintage New Home sewing machine.  i'll share a photo of the
easel when it is delivered and set up in our home.

{today Mr D and are married 39 years!

i placed our {now vintage}wedding invitation on the chandie.

we are blessed.!}

this weekend we'll be having a
"down home celebration" for Mr D's 60th!

FUN! plain and simple!

yep! that's the theme!

happy weekend to all!
