<br />
Just a reminder, this Wednesday - October 31st - I will be saying goodbye to this blog.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to launch my new vintage farmhouse blog, <a href="https://faragofarm.blogspot.com/">Far Ago Farm</a> on the same day. You will find plenty of old school charm with a (sometimes) modern twist - warm, welcoming and real.<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought I'd share a few fall pics from my kitchen. Baby Bluebird is home for the weekend with her fiance. Since she can't be home for Thanksgiving in November, I'll be cooking up her holiday favorites tomorrow for dinner! </div>

Do you remember when Bobby Brady's voice began to change and the Brady Bunch sang, "When It's Time to Change?" Well, that's how it seems here at Bluebird 1959 these days. My blog voice is changing. ๐๐<br />

I've been retooling my blog behind the scenes all year and will be rolling out all of the exciting changes on October 31st! There will be lots of color, vintage and well loved decor all served up in a welcoming,<u><i> 'old school decor blog' </i></u> style. I think many of us miss the days when blogs were authentic, humble, kind and house shaming & snobbery was rare to non existent. Sigh...<br />

<br />
My plan is to bring that back (at least in my blog) and who knows? Maybe it will spark a revival of bloggers who aren't pros, but love to decorate their homes and want to share that passion with others.<br />
<br />
I hope you will stop by on October 31st to check it out and to enter for a chance to win a giveaway. I also hope you will continue to stop by afterward, sharing your comments and ideas with me and other readers. I am hoping to post three days a week: Sundays & Fridays.<br />
<br />
I'll be posting little updates and teasers during the next few weeks before the changes are rolled out in October 31st!<br />
<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Bluebird and I headed out last month to my favorite flea market, <a href="https://m.facebook.com/NLPROMOTIONSLLC/">Elkhorn</a>, and found this wonderful old door. It was just $20 and only needed a little Furniture Restorer to bring out the gorgeous wood. We definitely got the door prize! ๐ฌ</div>

I originally had planned to hang it in a very hard to decorate space in our stairway. After some discussion with Mr. Bluebird, we decided on a different location - but still in the stair area. It wasn't my original vision, but I think it was the best choice!<br />

It is a smaller size door, possibly from an old dumb waiter or an under the eaves closet.<br />

It even has the old hardware attached! If you look closely, the knob has the Star of David on it. Very intriguing! I wonder if it came from a synagogue?<br />

I'm so behind in sharing all that has been happening here at the Bluebird house. I hope to get myself together and start posting more frequently. In the meantime, you can catch a glimpse of our gorgeous new carpeting on our steps.<br />
<br />
Hope to be back soon!<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After spending last week on vacation in Canada, for some reason I thought it would be a great idea to throw an engagement party & shower for Baby Bluebird less than 36 hours after our return home. Yikes! Seemed like a great idea in May...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made all of the food except the cupcakes. Even though it was a whirlwind of prep, we had beautiful weather and the party was a blessing for our family and friends. </div>

I'm so excited to have the next phase of our front yard to-do starting. I shared our shutter replacement and plans <a href="http://bluebird1959.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2018-06-11T15:54:00-05:00&max-results=7">here</a>.</div>

Last Wednesday, our contractor started our front patio demo and replacement. We have been on vacation in Canada all week, but our neighbor and our contractor both sent pics.</div>

It is still hard to envision what the end result will be, but I think it will be beautiful! The concrete porch stoop is being clad in red brick - I'm busting my buttons the most for that! I've always wanted brick steps.<br />
<br />
We are also replacing our concrete drive and a small patio off the side garage. Vacation is over and I am writing this in the car as we head home.<br />
<br />
Sunday is Baby Bluebird's shower and engagement party, so relaxation time is over and party prep is kicking in!<br />
<br />
What are you all up to this week?<br />
<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spent the hot and sultry weekend painting my kitchen. In all my years of having a kitchen, never have I had a white kitchen. Ever. I have had more color on my kitchen walls than Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, lol!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something pushed me toward white this time and I think I am digging it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a little corner in our eat in area. Mr. Bluebird made me the wainscot plate rack last fall - and there is one on the opposite wall as well. Love it for displaying an ever changing array of plates. </div>

<br />
Just a quick pop in to say "hey" and fill you in on what I'm doing between planting flowers and shower prep.<br />
<br />
There's nothing like planning a party to give me a kick in the pants to freshen up my decor. Mr. Bluebird and I painted our living area and front entry in April, which has left the kitchen looking sad and neglected. I've come to the conclusion I burn way too many candles - there is an awful lot of soot on my walls. I think I may be giving them up. Boo hoo.<br />
<br />
Anyway, painting is easy - but yikes! I just hate the preparation! I'm an instant gratification kind of girl. Nonetheless, I've patched and primed and took down my over abundance of stuff. I'm ready to put brush to the wall and get it done! <br />
<br />

Such a mess! But I know it will be worth it in the end. A freshly painted room is always a beautiful sight.<br />

<br />
I am finally off for the summer, so hopefully blogging will become a reality for me again. It's been hard to find the time lately.<br />
<br />
These first weeks are going to be busy ones. We are a hosting an outdoor engagement party and shower at our home for Baby Bluebird and her fiance in early July. I've been buying every lavender and purple annual I can get my hands on, since lavender is her wedding color. I've been planting like crazy!<br />

<br />
Mr. Bluebird and I are so happy for her. We adore our son in law to be! Currently, she lives in Ohio, while he lives in Virginia. I am over the moon thrilled they have chosen to get married in Wisconsin. They found a beautiful ski chalet as their venue.<br />
<br />
I am currently in full on planning mode for a combo engagement/wedding shower this coming summer. So many ideas running through my head!<br />
<br />
I look forward to sharing some of the details for the upcoming party with you all - from invites to decor to menus. I just bought a planner to help stay organized. (We will see how that works out, lol).<br />
<br />
Anyway, love is in the air here at the Bluebird house!<br />

<br />
I've been busy this weekend putting away all the bunnies, eggs and other Easter accoutrements. I didn't put much out this year as we went to Cincinnati to spend the holiday with Baby Bluebird, still, there was plenty to pack up!<br />
<br />
While putting a few things away, I took my quilts out of my antique cupboard and set about refolding them. I thought they looked so cozy all piled on the settee.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Quilts have always been a favorite of mine. They just say comfort to me.<br />
<br />
In other news, I had been making plans to paint our living room and kitchen this coming summer. Now that I am working full time, I 've had to put projects like that on hold until school gets out. Until now! As I was packing the bunnies, cleaning and rearranging, Mr. Bluebird asked, "why not paint next weekend?" My first thought was no, and then I thought , "why not next weekend?" So, I decided to start with the living room. Today I've torn my living room apart, clearing everything out. During the week, I'll fill the nail holes, tape anything that needs taping - you know, the usual, but all important paint prep. I've already selected colors, so a quick run to the paint store one night after work and I 'll be ready.<br />
<br />
Maybe I will finally patch the old surround sound system hole (instead of covering it up!). I still like the stair tread shelf I made years ago, but not so much the color. A little cream paint will be just what the doctor ordered. With my plaid sofa, the green is just too Christmassy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Speaking of Christmassy, the green accent wall will be the first to go! I really liked it for awhile, but it is just too much. I had been toying with the idea of jumping onto the neutral furniture bandwagon. In fact, I even had buyers for my current furniture lined up. I had narrowed down my new sofa choice to two.<br />

I even covered my furniture with white sheets for a few months to get a feel for it. In the end, and at the moment, neutral is just not me. I really like my furniture. I love my furniture. With that being said, I still want to tone things down a bit. Neutral paint, no accent wall, a few painted pieces in cream. More live greenery.<br />
<br />
So, this week, our house looks like a disaster zone - typical of painting time. I'm looking forward to getting it done and having a fresher space. There are some big events happening at the Bluebird house this summer and I will share that news with you later this week.<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are gearing up for some serious front yard changes this spring, so I thought I'd share where we are starting from today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We built our very simple, yet classic, saltbox style house 17 years ago. We've painted our shutters several times, changed out light fixtures, we even added a little front yard patio. All have served us well, but we always thought the front of our house could be so much more.</div>

We started this weekend by replacing our badly faded shutters with fresh, new ones. The shutters on the right were the same color as those on the left at one time. Talk about an overdue project!</div>

And now, the biggest change! This is the drawing from our landscaper. We are so excited for the new driveway and front entry redo. I am most excited about my red brick steps - I've pined for those for many years! It will be fun landscaping this straw and adding our personal touches.<br />
<br />
So, phase one of Operation: Sow's ear to Silk Purse has begun! I will share our progress with you all along the way. Please feel free to give ideas of how to accessorize this "new" space!<br />

Hi everyone!<br />
<br />
Just wanted to share my cute kitchen table for Easter with you. I fell in love with this dapper fellow from <a href="http://t.kirklands.com/">Kirklands</a>, but not the price tag. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at him in store and online the past few months, and found myself unwilling to pay full price. I couldn't buy him fast enough when I found him marked down to $22.49 today!<br />

I thought I would snap some pictures of my spring decor before it is time to decorate for Thanksgiving! Okay, I'm exaggerating, but if I wait for perfect pics, editing and all that jazz - I might be posting in November, lol. Just a glimpse of our living room. </div>

<br />
Today was a pretty gloomy day around here weather-wise, so it was nice to cozy things up around the house.<br />
<br />
A week or two ago I picked up a vintage brick mold from <a href="https://decorsteals.com/found-object-brick-mold-tray-circa-1920.html">Decor Steals</a>. It stayed in s corner of our den for awhile, because I just wasn't sure what to do with it.<br />
<br />
Well, inspiration finally struck and now it graces my kitchen table, filled with flameless candles, scented rose hips, berries and some evergreen cuttings & pine cones from my yard. Simple and simply perfect for this time of year.<br />
<br />

<br />
I think the rustic wood & metal of these piece are perfect textures for this time of year. Now that all the glitz & glam of Christmas is over, natural elements are a welcoming touch. Did you notice the not-so-tiny photobomber?<br />
<br />
Monday here we come! Have a great week.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is probably the teensy-tiniest of posts, but I wanted to show you my quick Christmas to Valentine's change-up for the wreath on my front door. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to my wintery wreath, but it was looking tired now that Christmas is nearly a month behind us. (Say what?!)<br />

A simple, metal heart arranged in the middle of the wreath and presto change-o, the transition was complete! Not rocket science, but cute.<br />

<br />
We are bracing for our first real snowstorm of the winter here in southeast Wisconsin. It's been a cold, but sunny morning so far. However, later tonight and tomorrow there is a prediction of 4 to 5 inches of snow. That's not much for our neck of the woods, but it will mean a messy commute in the morning and a date with the shovel after work!<br />

<br />
Anybody still out there?<br />
<br />
It's been a long time since my last post and my last promise to resurrect my humble, little blog. This time, at long last, I am feeling confident I am ready to hop back into the blogging world - visiting y'all and posting myself.<br />
<br />
Today, just a few pictures to share - a few Christmas and a few peeks of projects that have happened around here. I'll be back in a few days with a "real" post. I'm the meantime, I hope you are staying warm & cozy during this country wide cold snap!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

And now for the preview!<br />
<br />
In 2013, we tore out our existing patio and had brick pavers installed as well as a pavilion. You can read about that <a href="http://bluebird1959.blogspot.com/2013/07/hi-everyone-i-know-i-have-posted-quite.html">here.</a><br />
This year we decided to expand the area and are thrilled with the results which I will share soon. The picture below is of the work in progress.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't know what the weather has been like in your neck of the woods these past few weeks, but in Bluebird-land the weather has been cloudy, bleak, dreary, etc., etc. However, a bright spot in these mid-winter doldrums is the arrival of tulips at the grocery store!</div>

A few seconds on Google, and my tulips are on their way to be restored to standing at attention (I think)! There are a gazillion tips to preventing and/or correcting tulip droop online, so I suggest if you need advice on this "just Google" and your problem will be solved (hopefully)!<br />
