Goodwill Artwork

Hello World!  As you know I've been working on gathering items for all of my walls.  My dining room really needs some wall loving as well as my voice studio.  A couple of weeks back I showed you this little lovely I got at Goodwill for dirt cheap.  Loved the print, just didn't like the frame.  So, after some primer and some white paint, we now have this.
Here is what she looked like before.  

 Much better, don't you think?  Below are some other items on my walls.  Little blue and white plates and of course the Goodwill mirror.  


So, in the dining room we have the Goodwill artwork, the Goodwill mirror and my fun little blue and white plates.  I still have plans to make some curtains, but I just have not had time to even look at fabric.  Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks I can have some alone time without the little one to go and look to my heart's content.  Stay tuned, there's more to come for the walls.  

That's it for today...better late than never.  Come back soon and remember to be kind to one another!

Toodles,
Kathryn
