You'll often hear accomplished painters talking about the importance of values. The reason is simple: value is one of the foundations of realistic drawing and painting. In fact, if you were to pressure me, I'd say it's the foundation. Why do artists talk about values so much? Well, I think I know w

Hi Friends. . . It's so nice to be able to say Hi and know there's actually someone out there!!!! I remember thinking when I began blogging, "Is anyone actually reading this?" I found pleasure in creating the posts-- and, even more pleasure in meeting so many truly nice people. . . . I want you to know that I appreciate all of you--friends, followers, family. . . . I've been playing around with the keeping room cabinets this week. . . . Putting the final coat of paint on. . . . And thinking about life's simple pleasures. . . . Moving to the farm has so enriched my life. . . . I truly enjoy the simplicity of it. . . . As I read your comments and suggestions concerning the keeping room cabinets and what I should do with them, I realized that my decorating style has become fairly simple and straight forward. . . I also love the imperfections of handmade crafting. . . . This 1930s cabinet is a good example-- Notice the glassed doors don't match, the wood in the lower cabinet runs the wrong way, The knobs are simple wooden spool halves, The top is stained with water circles, dents and dings. . . . Imperfections--Simple style--Making do-- Yet, Unique and Beautiful to me. . . Because I'm embracing the simple and loving it, I decided to paint all the cabinets white-- just as the farmer's wife would have years ago-- then let everyday wear and tear distress them to perfection. . . . Are you ready for a quick preview of that wall of cabinets? Just a quick look. . . . . This photo was taken right after the paint dried. . . . I haven't decorated or tweaked it. . . . But, I think they're beautiful in their simplicity. . . . Perfect for a rustic farmhouse keeping room. . . . Don't you agree? Many thanks to all of you who helped me with my decisions. . . . I think WE did a good job. Now that the cabinets are built and in place, we can move on to the next step in our keeping room journey-- The Floor. . . . Hopefully, it will look like this when we're done. . . .

Here's my guide to dining at Black Cat Farm in Longmont Colorado. Black Cat Farm is just outside Boulder. It's the most rustic-romantic restaurant you can imagine. Dining at Black Cat Farm was the absolute culinary highlight of my Boulder trip. Black Cat Farm wasn't just a meal. It was an experience, an intimate farm to table dining adventure on a picturesque rural farm.
