A Mother's Day Treat

I thought I would take the weekend off and spend time with my kiddies, but before I do I wanted to share what we are doing for my mom for Mother's Day.

We commissioned a piece of artwork by a friend, she also happens to be an incredible artist!!

Meet Katie Toombs.

She is Amazing!!!

Not only is she an artist cranking out work right and left, but a mommy to 4 little ones! 

I don't know how she does it.

Here is a sampling of a recent art show that was held this spring.

how precious is this painting?

*side story: Our church is making plans to try and move the original historic chapel from its original location onto the current church property. Katie is commissioning these pieces and a portion of the funds will go to restoring the chapel and getting it placed on current church property.

This is actually the actual painting we got for my mom! 

I can't wait to give it to her this weekend!!

Thanks again Katie! We will share a picture once we get it hung!!

What are you doing for your mom for mothers day??

New Art= New Room A place to dine part 4 or 5

Soo remember my half painted abstract painting I have had going for oh... 2 years now!!

Well hubby and I finally put our thinking caps on and decided on a design for this piece.

The beach is one place we both love and want a hint of it to flow throughout each room in our home.

My sweet friend Candace put her amazing skills to work and here is what we came up with!

I am sure you all remember the dark gothic dining set we had before our current fluted leg table. Well the table was sold at our local Women's Exchange sale for a whopping $700.00 and the buffet table has always been mine. We have tapped off the wall and I think it will work nicely underneath the new artwork!

Hope to pick the piece up tomm!
