Oh, thank you all so much for your comments on my baseboard dilemma. Because of your valued input and wonderful ideas, I am going to go with the black. I painted some of the old boards and leaned them against the floor and the wall. I really like the look. Thanks for letting me know about the matte, too. I will use a semi-gloss, I think. Will that be okay and would spray paint work? I am "chomping-at-the-bit" to get this project finished!! I know, patience is a virture--HEEHEEHHEE!!

In the meantime, to distract myself, I decorated some for fall. How many crows can you see? I think there are a total of 11!! I love crows--wierd, huh? I think they look so great for fall--especially in September. I have them in other places of the house, but I'm not quite "all together" yet, so will post pictures later!!

I hung my Fall quilt. It has crows, too--imagine that? I leave it up until the first of November. Don't you just love the colors of fall--so warm and inviting?
Well, I must run. I am subbing today at the elementary. I hope to catch up on all my blog friends later today. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Hey, You ask me about grunging, this is what I do....I always have a little coffee left from our morning pot...I reheat it, put it in a bowl, sprinkle lots of cinnamon (let this sit a little bit) stir it up....use a paint brush or a sponge and paint it on a little at a time. place on a foil covered cookie sheet and bake in a warm oven or you can lay them in the sun...watch them closely til dry. If they are not dark enough repeat the process.
I like your fall decor, Looks Great!!! Beth
Love that quilt Julie! All your quilts are just beautiful.
Your crow decor is great too, I also love crows, now that it is getting cooler weather I see them everytime I open the door and I startle them and they fly off:)
