I got this vintage salt and pepper shaker set last year while Annivertiquing.
That's antiquing on your Anniversary.
It has become a tradition and can I just say that I fall in love with my man all over again when he takes me Annivertiquing?!?!
This was also back before my iPhone made me a lazy photographer.
Anyhoo, the pepper mill had gotten to where the grinder did not work well so I've always just kept our old wooden pepper mill for easier, faster use.
This week that old wooden boring beyond belief pepper mill was getting to me.
It was screaming, "For the love of Pete can't you see I need some color in my life?!"
So I grabbed my go to paints and got to shakin' and sprayin'.
I put tape over the hardware that I did not want to paint, and I stuffed the cavity of the pepper mill with paper towels so that paint would not get into the areas that the peppercorns would be stored.
I'm pretty much in love with it and make excuses to walk by it all day long.
Red and turquoise...don't they make a fabulous couple?
Got a wooden pepper mill in your kitchen?
Add a splash of color to your kitchen and paint that thing!

DIY Turquoise Pepper Mill

InstaFriday {Tornadoes in January}
It isn't all that rare for me to have an evening to myself.
It is however very rare to have one in my own home.
As you can see I filled that time with refined, cultural things.
I got to do a little antiquing this week.
Long overdue.
The smell of moth balls does wonders for the soul.
By the way...this cash register was $3500...wha?!?!
I spent the rest of my week dodging tornadoes.
And sitting in the storm shelter at 2 am waiting for this to hit.
With four not so glad to be out of bed family members.
There are not enough moth balls in the world folks.
My boy is so creative.
He called this one...Mustard Man.
Magpie has learned 3 chords on her guitar.
One more and she can play just about any worship song out there.
This girl oozes with creativity.
She painted this adorable owl canvas for our homeschool talent show this week.
Love.
It was displayed alongside her photography.
She has such an eye.
I told her daddy that if he felt compelled to give her my camera and get a different upgraded one for me I would totally understand and wouldn't have my feelings hurt too much.
This is her latest talent.
Making Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies.
And making her momma fat.
