Kitchen Paint can wait...

My kitchen walls were boring beige.. SO I decided to add some color. I thought I would like this soft chic green. So I dismantled my whole kitchen last Sunday. Painted and put it all back together. .... Blah... I just did not like it after all. The color actually made me feel nauseous.
So Monday Morning, I go off to Lowes and find a new Valspar paint color I thought I would like better... I dismantled the whole kitchen and began again.. I made it through 2 1/2 walls and realized .. ....Blah... this looks like specialty mustard in here. I really think I might just be Picky or Have lost my knack for color coordination.. LOL
So, currently my kitchen is Half green and Half golden... ( it's just gonna have to wait until I get in the mood again to paint. :D I'll wait for a rainy day and hope I find the right color I want this time.. I really hope the phrase "third time is a charm" works out for me.

Wow .. Mom.. Wow

2 years ago I constructed this garden bench with scrap lumber and painted an American flag on the seat for my mom as a gift. She loved it and has it in her flower garden.

I have not had time to create anything for Mother's Day. I have 1 week & I'm stumped for ideas... She would like to have a very large birdhouse, like 4 or 5 feet tall.

My mom loves country, prim, rustic, antiques.. I have been searching through Etsy all evening for outdoor garden or porch decor, hoping to stumble on to something I can purchase for her and just have it shipped right to her this week. { I'm happy to take any suggestions!}

-Enjoy!
