Hey everyone! I hope y’all are having a wonderful Sunday! I’ve been busy spring cleaning and can say that I am just about done! I am finally going to have my 100th follower giveaway! This is in appreciation of having 100 followers. I see that I’m over 100 followers now. I am really touched by all of you following along. I am feeling the love!
So in celebrating this, I am giving away a $25 gift card from Pier One. I just might add a little gift to go with the gift card. :)
Drawing will be April the 6th because that is my birthday. What better day than to have it right on my birthday? *wink* I’d love for you to be a follower of my humble blog to enter. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Just leave a comment on this post if you’d like to enter.
I bought this picture from Hobby Lobby and the zebra print was in a brown as you can see in this picture.
%5B9%5D.jpg "IMG_0342 (800x600)")
It wasn’t speaking to me. Nothing wrong with it but I have so much brown in my living room. So I opened up the frame and went to town with my little paint brush. I used a deep red color and voila!! What do you think?
Here it is in a grouping. The picture below my “dream” frame, is from Kirkland’s. The topper above the mirror, is from Hobby Lobby and it also had a paint change. The wall color is called “Comforting” by Behr.
This topper used to be a gold color so I used my handy dandy “Oil Rubbed Bronze” spray paint by Krylon. After I spray painted it, I also used Rub and Buff to accentuate it even more. I took it down right quick to show you guys the details! See how special y’all are to me? *smile* Oooh! Look at the detail on the cushion to my new sofas! :) Pretty huh?

Can you see how Rub and Buff adds that little bit of color? Love it!

And last but not least…..my wreath!
I added a wreath to the front of the mirror and look how the flowers coordinate with the picture, don’t you think?
I’m not finished with this wall but so far I really like it! :)
Melissa! Oooh! I hope you are visiting blogs during your spring break. Here is the plaque I bought after I saw yours! See it? (OOPS! I see the can of spray paint! I am painting something in Pistachio and you can see my laptop on the wingback chair too!)
See it? :)
A little closer.. I love it! It adds that special touch! “There’s no place like home.”
Please visit these wonderful blogs that I am linking to! Thanks ladies for hosting these fun parties! I always have fun looking at other participants linking up to these fun parties.
Y’all don’t forget to enter my giveaway! Deadline is April 6th! :)

I just want to congratulate you on this milestone! I won't enter your give-away because sadly we don't have that store here in Australia:(
Good luck to everyone else though!!
Have a beautiful Easter week and best wishes always,
Natasha.
I love the changes, Sandra! It all looks so put together! Please enter me in your giveaway. I love Pier one!
Oh, and I like your wall with all the crosses...beautiful!
The vignette you have created on your wall is just gorgeous. I really like all the different elements that you have pulled together and each one really does compliment the other. The red paint job you did is perfect and so is the Oil Rubbed Bronze. I have sprayed so many things that color that my husband says he is afraid to stand still. Your home is lovely.
What a fantastic giveaway also. I would love to be considered. Thanks. Hugs, Marty
Congrats on your followers my friend. They follow because you are a JOY and we love your great big old heart.
Blessings today...Love, Rebecca

Your house is lovely! I love your decor! And thanks for sharing the tip about rub and buff. I've never used it but I most definitely will look for it!
Count me in for your giveaway too - thanks! =)
Sandra, woohoo! I'm so proud of your milestone! Congratulations on having 100 followers. You deserve them all, my friend, and I'm happy for you! :-)
You've done a wonderful job with your living room, embuing it with all your special touches. I know you must love every bit of it! I love the new plaque with the Dorothy quote, and seeing your rub and buff, makes me want to try that. It adds just the right amount of snazziness.
You are so sweet to offer that gift card as a prize, and while I will be computerless on your birthday, I will still do my very best to get by and wish you a Happy Birthday. If something happens and I can't get by, please accept all my best wishes now for the best birthday ever!
Thank you so much for your prayers. I appreciate it more than you know.
Much love coming your way...
XO,
Sheila :-)

Girlfriend you've been busy! Everything looks awesome and your family room looks great. I need to pick up some of the oil rubbed bronze paint. It's stunning.
With all those boys how do you keep everything so tidy???
I love Pier I. I'm in!

Love what you did to that picture...such a great idea when something is just not right.....
Hugz, Dolly
Love the wreath on your mirror. Very pretty. Would love a chance for the Pier 1 gift card. Carolyn cge4211@bellsouth.net
Early Happy Birthday! Your wall is coming together nicely.
Please enter me for the Pier1 card, and I'll give to DD2 if I win.
I hope you'll drop by AtticMag and give JaneT some advice for her headboard to bench project.

I would never have thought to paint the matting like that. These are just the kind of tips that I hate to miss and I'm certainly missing a lot of blog posts right now. I have my computer and WiFi...but no energy to do anything. It is slowly getting better. Thanks for your continued prayers for my mom. It really helps and congrats on all the followers!
Sue
Oh, you made that sign pop! It was dull before. I like all your reds that pop out. Its so rich looking and alive. And I see that you,too, like toppers! Congrats on your 100 followers. Thank you so much for the generous giveaway.
Wonderful transformation of your Dream sign and it goes wonderfully with the other accents in your room. I really like all your toppers and especially the one you just painted. I'm on the look out for one like that too! (Happy Birthday! My birthday is April 7th!)

1oo~ Huge number, I hope to get there one day!~!
Please enter me for your giveaway!!!
Sandra, your home looks so pretty. I know I've mentioned this before, but I am so envious that you have a Hobby Lobby near you...always great finds at that store. I love the mirror with the pretty wreath and the embellishment above the picture looks so elegant. Well done!
Have a great week and Happy Easter! ~Liz
Love everything here...you have an eye for detail that's for sure.
Those are some great transformations. I love that you painted something that didn't work for you and now it's perfect for your decor. My b-day is the 4th!
Sandra it all looks GREAT! Love the red for the zebra stripes! I have never used Rubb N Buff, I can't find it in any color other than silver and I don't want that! I need to keep looking . . .
Have a wonderful week! And congratulations on 100 followers! Ain't blogging great?
:) Karen
Congratulations on 100 followers! Your picture looks much better and I love your little shelf with the bird on it.
P.S. I clicked on your link on Cottage Instincts link up party but it didn't work.
It does make a difference, Sandra! It really stands out now!
Sandra, I love the way you hung the wreath on the mirror! It's beautiful!

I love the changes Sandra! It all looks great! I like the wreath in front of the mirror. I also like your crosses. The colors are warm and inviting.
I thought I commented when I first read this post but that was one of the days I was having trouble with blogger so I guess it got lost in cyberspace...
I would love to be entered into your giveaway.
