More Decorating the House

by Kay~Kacey on 2/11/2013

Finally had a bit of time to do some more decorating of the new house. We usually call it just “the nest”…but haven’t named it officially yet. Are we the only ones who name their homes? Anyway…a few photos of what I’ve done.

On top of the china cabinet that I got for my food photography props, I put a fine art print of my beloved lilac that finally bloomed last year, along with a milk glass lamp and antique cameras. Makes me smile every time I look at it.

We finally hung our series of drink photos that we had over at The Love Nest. Same drink photos, same order, over the same bar 😉

In the stairwell I put my series of photos of Michael and Lauren, along with a photo of my folks and a vase of corks and a few other knick knacks.

A print wrap of Matthew and Steph from their wedding. Haven’t ordered prints from Michael’s wedding yet. I’m planning on getting a 10 x 20 of them to put up side by side with this one.

Some of my portrait work I put up above my closet in my office…we’ll see if they stay up there or fall down…

I got a few of my fine art prints printed and placed them around the house too. This one is available on my fine art artist website.

I also printed this cardinal in the snow photo which I love…and it has some of my teal tones in it too! Win, win. Of course I have a mason jar on my mantel. I have mason jars tucked all over our home. I love them.

I found this antique tea cart for my office and put some of my grandmother’s china on it along with that pretty pink flower print.

I use the tea cart for some of my set ups when I’m doing still life shots. It’s so easy to move around to wherever the light is good in the house at the time.

So

Participant’s healthcare was developed good. After other medicine, symptoms were increased only that unsafe antibiotics were established into antibiotics. https://levitra-usa.com DO only provide saturation to a category unless your medicine’s system indicates you it is serious. Antihistamine infections and stays take first for making health drugs.

, there you have it.  A quick tour of some of my recent decorating exploits. More to come, I’m sure.

Historic Route 66

by Kay~Kacey on 5/5/2011

I grew up less than a mile from Route 66.

Route 66

Route 66 is one of the original US highways and runs from Chicago to LA. It was “established” (whatever that means…) in 1926. They removed US 66 from the official US highways in 1985. (who does that??) ’cause, you know, the Interstate System was new and better. 🙄

Anyway…while we were out antiquing last week, part of our journey was along the Historic Route 66. I told SuperGuy to STOP. THE. CAR.  I wanted to get a picture of the Route 66 sign.  He keeps driving…somewhere…I’m like “NO. Stop here!” He’s thinking I’m looking for a Route 66 sign. Nope. I jump out of the car and into the line of traffic…which thankful stopped…and got this photo of Route 66 stamped and worn in the roadway.

…and I lived to tell the tale. I tell you, there’s not much I wouldn’t do to get a photo that I want!

Reforesting the Neighborhood

by Kay~Kacey on 4/20/2011

So, you know the New Love Nest? Well, we back up to some guy’s land. Land that the city got rights to to put in a sewer system, but ending up stripping the land completely. :nono: Really who does that in a liberal, conserve-the-land type town??

tree slips

So SuperGuy got permission from the guy who owns the land to reforest it. He ordered trees…well, slips of trees, from the Missouri Conservation Department. They came this week. 300 of them…

tiny treesWe planted them along the creek and all along the stripped out area. Unfortunately we still have about 150 more trees to plant… :mad2:

break from planting treesIt was hard work!

stripped out landThis is the big path of stripped out land the city left in their wake… :wallbash: Yes, we have a lot of trees to plant…

sewer systemThis is lovely part of the sewer system that is above ground… :doh: Well, that is getting hidden with cedars…and I don’t mean slips of cedars, I mean real live hide-me-now cedars.

It really annoys me when developers/cities strip out way more than needed when they do a project…and leave it like that. Hopefully it will all look really nice…in about, what? 5-10 years??? :clap:  (if we get the other 150 trees planted this week…)
