It's in the air I can just feel it! The days are longer, the air is warmer & I am one happy camper! I finally got the itch to finish some projects around here & here is one I'm so happy to have finished. Cleaned up the fireplace for Spring & took down the winter firescreen & andirons. Finished adding hand painted touches to the antique firescreen I bought in the Fall & up it went in front of the freshly cleaned hearth ! I've started to de-clutter rooms & change pillows, wash white cotton slipcovers & re-paint a few rooms. Spring fever..... definately!
This is what our antique piece used to look like-hard decision to paint or not to paint...in the long run painted an opaque cottage white & hand painted was a good decision~enjoy the longer days & WHOPEEE just found out we set the clocks ahead this weekend!!!! :) Have a great one!
I love the fireplace screen. You did an outstanding job:-). I'm so ready for spring to sprung too *giggles*.
Have a great weekend!!

Hi Chris,
We aren't quite ready to take down the Winter fire screen here in BC Canada Rockies yet, but you have got my wheels turning to do something like you did, when the time comes... Love your new Painted screen!! Spring is in the air here. The Pussy Willows are out... That gives me hope...
Hugs,
Jan

Still feeling very wintery here in Toronto -- but I'm waiting for that "spring" feel to hit -- shouldn't be too much longer now -- the sky has started to turn that particular shade of blue and the birds are "singing" not just chirping!! I'm with you "it's coming!!!"
Love what you did with this -- it's beautiful!
