We arrived home today, and a dove has built a nest and is sitting on her eggs in a planter in our courtyard. I bought some suet for her at the store and hope she eats it before the darn squirrel gets to it.

I just wanted to say I love that green chest of drawers - oh my gosh it is awesome and looks great where you have it!<br /><br />I too hate over distressing, or that silliness of distressing everyone, not at all believing it is close to natural b/c no real though was to if it would actually distress that way.....something so simple done so wrong so many times.<br /><br />Anyway, I must ask, one of the photos makes it look lighter green and the others a much more vibrant green - wondering which is closer to the real hue you can see with your eyes.<br /><br />Green is hands down my most favorite color and I have been kinda thinking I may want to do this now.<br /><br />You have inspired me, gal!<br /><br />If you ever get the chance I would love you to pop on over and say hi on my blog, it is always so much fun to "meet" new friends!<br /><br />Have a wonderful remainder of your weekend.Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-85529172454446242632012-03-25T13:55:13.248-04:002012-03-25T13:55:13.248-04:00I enjoyed the whole tour!

The chair cushion really made the chair didn't it? What color green did you paint the chest? Is it an old looking green that goes towards yellow or a mintier version. Pics show it both ways. Lastly, I like the pink and white parrot/bird statue~he's my fav.Amy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.com
