I am Shabby Chic !!

Al fresco Dining!!

"I am constantly trying to figure out what My style is.

I am a work in progress, but I find myself

drawn to a particular style "Shabby Chic".

There is a contest going on over at Better Homes and Gardens.com and their

Facebook page. It links to Pinterest. That was all I needed to hear....lol

I was on my way pinning and searching through all the pages I have bookmarked over the years.... There have been many. Here are a few Pictures I decided I really love. If you are following me on Pinterest, or Facebook you can see my board for the contest!!!

I love the table and the hutch, and the floor too!!

This is just a sweet table setting...love it!

What a Beautiful relaxing bedroom.

Make it Blue and it would be mine!

This bedroom would be for a guest or in-law.

Love, Love,Love this Kitchen!!!

Family room, add a nice rug and some

color to the wall and it would be mine!!

(and a dog bed for Cali :)

This would be perfect as a guest room for my Sissy!!

(and her Chihuahua's!!)

This is my Dream Bathroom, again add some color

to the walls(a soft green or pale blue)

Dining room, love the Chairs, the corner hutch and the chandelier!!

Beautiful Outdoor living room, cant wait till

we have time to build our deck!!

If you have an abundance of saved pictures/ideas for your dream home,

I say enter the contest, someone has to win!!! Wish me luck..

Spring Projects

Spring in New England is a Magical time. This year we have been blessed with an early spring(about 2 weeks ahead of schedule) and very warm weather. The downside has been fear of frost, and lack of rain. Actually we are in a drought. But we are not going to let it get us down....nope not us.We(Gary and I )have many irons in the fire....I will try not to go overboard describing them.

1. Our Spring Chicks need their coop built(this is a priority)!!

This is Sunny in front!!

2. Our raised Garden Beds are being built(and acquired) faster

than we can fill them with soil(compost and Loam).

3. The seedlings are growing faster than I can

make garden beds to plant them in!!!(Arggg!!!)

4.We Still haven't worked on the Dining room/Mud room.(needs wall paper, flooring and trims)

5. We have plans to expand our deck......and most of the materials to do it with!!

6.We want/need to finish our fence in the back yard for the puppy(she will be 5 in May) we started the spring we got her!!!

7.I bought the materials to repaint out front door and shutters(because we just got a new roof and need to spruce up a bit)

I am sure I am forgetting a few things, I always do, but it is a sobering list and I really want to get as much as I can done. A lot I can tackle on my own with a little help from DH but He has an equal share of work to do as well....and Summer gets hot and we poop out with the heat.

Love, Victoria

Easter Chicks

I hope you all had a great Easter holiday with your families. We had a beautiful day with my sister and brother in law and I cooked all day long, so I didn't have time to take any pictures... sorry :(

However...the day after Easter Gary and I went to pick up the newest editions to our family. 

Yep, 6 new Babies in the House!!

3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Auracanas.

On the Left is Sunny and next to her is Trouble...

In the Back you can see Raven.

The other three are Dorothy, Rose and Scarlet.

I will be posting more on them all as they get bigger and change..This is going to be an adventure

and I just can't wait for the Beautiful eggs we will start to get in September:)

Love, Victoria
