PJH Designs

 


Hello everyone I hope you had a wonderful week! I so enjoyed visiting all the link-ups last week.  Great post y'all! You'll notice some changes this week as I am joining forces with a couple of my friend's blogs to help you and me get more traffic and to make linking up easier.

 Here's what I shared last week.


I gave you a peek at the eat-in area of my remodeled kitchen. I have been searching for special items to decorate with and wanedt to share. If you remember I painted the bead-board in Paris Gray chalk paint. Well, all the furniture but two pieces is painted with chalk paint. lol You may see the post here.

I'll be sharing how the working end of my kitchen holds up with you soon. Telling you all the pros and cons of my finish choices. So check back with me in a day or two.

 Here are the favorites from last week!

Kassandra had the most clicked link this week sharing her beautiful fabric, book covers at Kassandra Shabby.




Kathy at Life On Lakeshore Drive made  wonderful topiaries out of wiffle balls. Can you believe it?! So pretty. 


The Velvet Glove shared this gorgeous beachy table. Love the color.


Paula, at Call Me PMC shared this great recipe for Bacon & Pear Stuffed Pork Loin, and hey even though I hate to cook I may just try this one. :-)


LInda, at With A Blast, shared this great Valentine Smash Cake. Looks yummy!

How's My Kitchen Holding Up? Part I

 Hello everyone. I thought I would take a minute and share how my kitchen is holding up after my remodel.

OMG I'm still loving it! I love the ASCP Paris Gray bead-board, my tin ceiling tiles, and the chandeliers. 

I've been scouring the re-sale shops, flea markets, and antique shops for accessories and I hope you like what I've done so far.

Today I'm sharing the eat-in area of my kitchen.






Made my chair shrugs by tea and coffee dying scrim fabric.



My buffet I refinished and decided to keep and a mirror I silver-leafed.  I've been slowly collecting china, painted plates love them! 




This one is my favorite.  I love the little bluebirds and the fact that everything is not perfect. 


Another piece meant for my booth that I decided to keep is the corner cupboard. I've started a turquoise blue Fire King collection.


Finally got the knob put on the door but not the latch to keep it  shut. lol


I found this china cupboard in Arkansas at an antique shop and just fell in love with it.  The one piece I haven't painted. I store all my pink depression glass here. (Notice my curtains with the fabric flowers? They are shower curtains from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. Love them.)




I'm in to angels and their wings. :-) Got these galvanized wings at Decor Steals.


Still loving my antique table that I refinished. That is a lead crystal bowl I picked up at a rummage sale for $5! The candle holders that look like mercury glass are another buy from Decor Steals. Now I just need to find some candles.




Love my antique, baby, highchair in the corner and yes I really use it. Another item I can't decide if I want to paint or not.

Okay, I'll be sharing the working end of my kitchen soon with all the pros and cons of my design choices. Hope you enjoyed the tour. Until next time hugs and kisses.

Transformed Tuesday #22 & Features

PJH Designs

 

Hello everyone. I am very sad this week as we lost my step-daughter, Regina on January 15.  

 Regina was mentally and physically handicapped as a result of an illness when she was an infant, and because of extensive health problems that could not be handled at home was put into a state school at the age of three.  They never expected her to live past the age of eleven, but she was a lot tougher than they thought and we were able to enjoy her sweet spirit for forty-seven years.

 She could not talk but you could tell she recognized you when you went to visit. She loved the sound of water in a fountain, listening to music, and watching her television.

 Truly one of God's angels here on earth she is free of the mind and body that had her bound and is now whole. Her mother passed away a couple of years ago and I know Regina is now with her in heaven.

 I'd like to thank all of you who have already conveyed your condolences on Facebook and Google+.  We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. 

 Now, let's not be sad and move on to our features for this week. I'd like to welcome all of our new bloggers this week! So glad you joined us! We loved checking out what you've been up to. :-)

Laurie at Heaven's Walk shared her pretty prairie style table that she and her husband put together from a kit! I love it Laurie. 

Tammy at Homespun Happenings shared her kitchen update and how she painted and antiqued her built in cabinets. I just adore her kitchen it has so much character.
 





Painted Style shared her upgraded crates. Love that Betty's logo!




Linda at With A Blast shared this yummy looking dessert from South Africa called Malva Pudding.
