Hi everyone– I need your vote!

A few months ago I was asked by UGLU to compete with 4 other TV designers in their DASH N DINE tablescape decorating contest.

The good news is that –the more you vote on a daily basis—the greater the chance you’ll have at winning $1000! But you’ll have to hurry because this contest closes July 31st.

Your vote would be so appreciated as part of the proceeds from this contest goes to charity–and I like that!

She was shy, abandoned and in need of a fancy makeover! So I decided to make this sweet flea market find into a bountiful beauty! Well let’s just say–beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

BEFORE

It was just a few years ago when I was selected to be the “featured” shopper on HGTV’s Longest Yard Sale. We traveled from KY to TN in 2 days and my goal was to find the perfect bridal chair for my step’s son’s new wife to be. I was hosting a bridal shower and wanted her to have the best seat in the house!

AFTER

Ain’t she cute? Now all she needs is a pair of dancing shoes and a sparkly necklace!

Design My Adirondack blog hop is LIVE!

Today’s post can be seen at Pat Sloan’s blog

Pat usually paints with fabrics making beautiful quilts for her books, etc—but this time she “painted” a quilt pattern much like a quilt block on a barn for her adirondack! Plus she shared the whole process of how she acheived her design! Way to go Pat! Now all we need is a cowboy to go with that chair! Yeehaw!

P.S. Please be sure to visit the hop each Tuesday! You can check the schedule on the previous post.

Last month was the official launch of http://www.KathyPetersonInspirations.com —and my new collection of outdoor furniture (– it’s paintable–!) called Kathy Peterson Inpsired Outdoor Lifestlyes!

What I like most is that it comes in 15 fabulous colors and oh-so many furniture styles to choose from!

Check out the fabulous pallette shown above on my Adirondack chairs and these colors are also available on cafe sets, deep seating, benches,etc! –it’s endless!

JOIN MY BLOG HOP NEXT WEEK!
But it get’s even more fun! Because you can also order the furniture collection unfinished–that means you can paint and design it anyway you want!

So next week we’re launching DESIGN MY ADIRONDACK BLOG HOP where I’ve invited five of my favorite designer friends to “put their own creative spin” on my Adirondack chairs! (check out a sneak peak below!)

This 5 week BLOG HOP starts every Tuesday, beginning next week on July 20th and launches with my friend Pat Sloan–quilt diva! So be sure to hop on by at http://patsloan.typepad.com/ and check out her designer chair–next TUESDAY JULY 20th! Please be sure to tell your friends and leave your comments too each week! But you’ll have to wait to see Pat’s sneak peak of her clever design in a few days! (sorry to be such a tease)

However– here’s a sneak peak at one of the other designers, Julie Fillo, who will be posting the full reveal of her finished Adirondack design on July 27th. Come back again to find out where to join the blog hop with Julie and all the other designers!

Summer is the perfect time to get PLAYFUL with COLOR! So what colors are you stirring up in your paint cans or in your outdoor spaces this month? For me, well I’m helping to design a 2700 square foot home full of delicious aquas, greens, yellows and more! But check out this divine outdoor splash of color! I think I’m in LOVE!
