Just my style

Homegoods is having a giveaway. Win a $5000 shopping spree. Just take a simple quiz to find your style and then enter to win. They have daily and weekly winners.

Below are the results of my quiz.

Kris, you are a Bohemian Eclectic (I never considered myself bohemian or eclectic, but I would agree with most of the description).

You have wide-ranging interests and influences and so appreciate a mix of styles, cultures, periods, and objects. You would never use a matching suite of furniture or want a home that seemed cookie-cutter. You have an artist's eye that enables you to mix the old or the unusual with the new and modern. When traveling, you seek out unique objects that reflect what you love, and you use them in a sophisticated way. Your home is visually intriguing and comfortable, with a delightful mix of cozy chairs, ethnic fabrics, elegant pieces, hand-made items, even a little touch of quirk or humor, all of which gives your place a laid-back, Bohemian feel.
You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks—whether with colors, finishes, furniture choices, or ideas—for your home to stand out. Your home can be happy and lively and the place all of your friends want to be.

Have a happy day.........

Happy Sunday

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful HOT day.

The temps this summer have been mild, but August holds true to it's reputation and has brought both heat and humidity to Tennessee. I'm not complaining. I do my complaining in the winter months.

So, what to do when the weather outside is too hot to enjoy? Stay indoors and paint.

I finished the 6'x6' floorcloth and shipped it out. I got a photo from my client yesterday showing the new floorcloth in her dining area.

You can't tell from the photo, but the colors used in the cloth are the same earthy tones as the tile on her dining table. The center is painted in cream and beige colors. The border is painted in burgundy/brown colors with a mix of green, red and cream floral and scrolled designs.

The larger floorcloths are a lot of work, but fun to paint. I'm currently working on another even larger floorcloth and hope to have it ready by mid week. That should keep me busy and out of the heat for a few more days.

Football season is here..........YAH! Well, preseason is here. I'm not big on preseason, but I just love me some football. My beloved Titans are playing the Bills. Fire up the grill it's time to tailgate. Bring on the beer and hot wings!!!

Have A Happy Day!!

My Life According to "James Taylor"

Yes..........I'm still here. :)
Things are finally beginning to settle down. Phil and I are still looking for a new place closer to work. We haven't found it yet, but I know it's out there.
I've been working on two large floorcloths. 6'x6' and a 6'x8'. Just finished one and the other is on the table and ready for the design to be painted.

Something Fun!!
I got tagged on facebook by my son, Matt. This was such fun I thought I would share with my blogging buddies.

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to 15 people you like and include me. You can't use the artist I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think!
