RED

Whether it is because my namesakes (the fruit known as the Cherry, some of you have wondered if that is my real name) body color is red or not...my fave color is indeed red. To wear or to bedeck the house with. So true to form....yesterday.. when I had made the "just for fancy sake" decision to buy myself some tulips. The red won out. My eyes did wander to pure white...but my heart said RED. It made the decision even sweeter with a Fred Meyer coupon for 2.00 off a floral bunch. This is the first time in my adult life that I have "bought" real flowers of any kind. I must say..it could become a habit. They make me smile. Especially in my new white pitcher. I would say 2.00 for tulips that make you smile every time you walk by is worth the investment. Wouldn't you?

Anyway on with the red....I snapped a few pics of red here and there. The first pics are of window treatments I did quite awhile back. I don't remember if I ever shared them with you??? I lined the valances so I could change them from floral/ticking. The drapes were made from chocolate and wheat colored burlap and I mixed the floral with it. The floral was originally a Target tablecloth. I have a whole roll of burlap in the living room to make more drapes with it. We will see when that happens. Don't hold your breath. At least we have privacy in the kitchen area.

Now the clock was white, and I decided to paint it red...I did a peekaboo green inside and antiqued it a bit. I think it tells better time painted red. Pretty darn sure. Sooooo there you go....my love affair with red. I of course threw in the can of Coca Cola...after all it is red too...and my love for it runs deep as well. Happy Weekend to all. XOXO, Cherry
