Cheerful and Bright

Orange is a great color, I think.:)  I love this cabinet.


A quilt top I made and need to quilt. As usual, I made this from all recycled fabric, except for the neon yellow-green. It would work on a twin size bed, but I have intentions of using it as wall art, IF I don't sell it. Haven't really decided just yet - it will be a tough one to part with.
I love the colorful pillows.

When I lived in Germany, I would hit the flea markets every weekend. I bought a lot of vintage men's neck ties. As soon as possible I would rip them apart, wash them, then iron them, and store them in plastic tubs under the bed. It was tedious and time consuming, a job a hated. Nonetheless, I continued on with my quest of finding vintage ties. This is one of the quilt tops I have completed. I cherish this one! I will NEVER sell this one. It still has to be quilted, and I will hand quilt it. Being silk, I am too afraid of having it machine quilted. I have a closet full of quilt tops to quilt, so darn time consuming. I have one in the quilting frame right now that feels like I have been quilting on for most of my life. I never fail to say with every quilt I quilt, "I will never do this again". After a couple of months, I put another top in the frame.











These curtains are so pretty, bright and cheery. They should make anyone start their day in a happy mood.

I want to make a patchwork curtain from vintage fabric - they are so bright, and the light shining through the little squares is beautiful.

Bright and Sunny Dutch Home

Gotta love all the bright light in this house. Holland was one of my favorite countries to visit while living in Germany. I love European Decor. 

The yellow is so clean looking.

Even though there are some bright colors, there is still a neutral look to this place.

How I would love to have this cabinet.

Isn't the floor awesome!?!

That stove...is wonderful!

I could get creative in this work room.

Oh...My....I LOVE the wall behind the bed.

Bright, Bold, and Beautiful

The houses are about 20 minutes from where I live. Oh my, how I would love to have one of these homes . The colors are so amazing...and delicious! Would love to see the inside of some of these homes. :)
