They have a new publication out called Rooms of Bliss.
I found this issue today at my home-away-from-home, Lowe’s.
I was just getting ready to run out to pick up a few things at Wally World but it’s pouring rain now so instead, I think I will curl up on the sofa with a cup of coffee and devour the contents of this beautiful magazine.
Oh - oh - oh! Now I've got to add a stop at Lowe's tomorrow! Thank you for sharing this with us. I love what you've shown us and I want to see more! ~Adrienne~
Oh Shari, this looks soooo yummy! Have to go and check it out! Wish we would get some of that rain. They were calling for severe thunderstorms for yesterday, then it all blew south. We need it.
Shari, This magazine looks wonderful, thanks for sharing the tip! I see you have been a busy bee and love all the changes. Your new sofa looks great and should be fun to work with! Thank you again for carrying my daughter Heather's photo and link on your sidebar. There was a delay, but we will know if the donor is a approved the end of August. I'm leaving Heather's post up for now in case we need to find someone else, but I believe things will work out. Hugs, Cathy
Pam, Thanks for the question on my blog. Yes, black satin paint can look very black and flat. It can also show finger prints and scuff very easily. If you want a softer black, you can do a few things. First of all, you can knock down the edges of the chairs with sandpaper to expose some of the wood, then rub the chairs with a dark walnut stain. That will add a bit of shine and a hint of dark brown to soften the black. Another option is to pick an "off black" from a paint chip and repaint all of the chairs in a custom color. This will be a lot of work, so you may want to try the first option.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 50 years. We have one beautiful and precious daughter, age 41.
After more than 37 years in the workforce, I was fortunate enough to be able to quit my job in 2007 and stay home. As a natural born homebody and "nester," this opportunity to be a full-time homemaker has brought me immeasurable contentment and happiness. I thoroughly enjoy spending each and every day in the cozy comfort of "My Cottage of Bliss."
About the "House in Hooterville": In October 2009, we bought a 30 acre horse farm in a small country town approximately 45 miles from the city where I have lived my whole life. Join me, a city girl through and through, as I try to simultaneously adapt to country life in "Hooterville" and redecorate the 1978 brick ranch-style house on the property into My (new) Cottage of Bliss.
