MC'S LATEST DIY

 DIY TRANSOM WINDOW...MC STYLE!

Tonight,  MC  and I enjoyed a wonderful evening with  great  neighbors.   Pasta, salad, Italian bread and wine....Perfecto.   We love our little sub- community.  We live in a large DelWebb SunCity Community but it is broken up into "neighborhoods".  I am sure we have the best one! No...  I KNOW WE HAVE THE BEST ONE!  We call ourselves Dolcetto!  Named after the Dolcetto grape from Italy.  A lovely table, everyday, red wine is made from this little gem.  When new neighbors move in we welcome them with a basket of  sweets and a bottle of our Dolcetto wine.  They are then OFFICIAL DOLCETTO-ANS!!! We might be over 55, but we have fun!

I was checking my favorite "reads" after coming home and getting comfy.   Design Chic has a gorgeous Post on Transom windows!

They are beautiful!!

It just happens that two days ago MC created transom windows here in the Bucket List House!  We had two areas screaming to be made into Transom Windows, only it was not feasible to do so.   I have been staring at these spaces for over a year trying to figure out how to accomplish it. 

 Those blocks of white paint scream
"DO SOMETHING.....ANYTHING,   BUT DO SOMETHING!"

 EPIPHANY

 I always go back to the same product.....MIRROR TILES...

I know they are from the 70's, but I have found so many great applications for them.

Look what they did to those blocks of white paint. 

 I just mentioned my idea to MC...  Immediately, he was in the car and on his way to Lowes.  He added thin strips of wood to mimic the "lights" windows around the front door.  The entire project done Monday afternoon!  This guy might get us  lost driving around, but he can sure create my Epiphanies!!!

Yesterday, I read another of my favorite Blogs, Design Indulgence

Sherry posted pictures of the book shelves she has in her room for the ORC.  So many great  arranging suggestions. 

I looked at my new "arranged" shelves and I didn't fit all of the guidelines that Sherry suggested.    So I am working at doing it over .....again....!  I'm also working on the built-in shelving units around the fireplace.  Again, trying to apply Sherry's wonderful hints.  I can't shop for new items, but I have gone through all my "warehouse" stashes and have brought out some old Treasures.
When I think I have it right, I'll share.....  I think I can get it right  this time?  I think????
Please no grading.....
