A Pink Chorus

Well, you all probably know how much I love the rustic pink shutters 

that my sweet, "ever-wary" husband made for me a couple weeks ago

(under my strict supervision, of course.) 

You can read about them here.

I'm still doing the happy dance over them
(still hearing the angels singing)
and am spending waaaay too much time in the loo, however,
just sitting and staring at them.

Loving the perfectly distressed pink color.
Loving the vintage cup cradling tiny pink roses next to them.
Loving the pink tulleing fluffed over the top of one.

I desperately needed more of them.

There was more than one time that I would be walking by a window
carrying the laundry basket upstairs,
cleaning the kitchen,
vacuuming the living room,
and find myself stopping to try to envision another shutter here...
or there...
or over there.

Imagine my utter surprise when out of the blue one evening the Husband said,

"You know...I could make some shutters for the kitchen window for you."

Have I ever told you how much I love that man?

Imagine my utter surprise once again when I came home one evening from spending the day with my parents
and he had already built a pair for me.

I spent the day happily swishing my homemade recipe of "Prairie Girl Pink" paint on them
and distressing them with a whitewash of ASCP in Old White.

These beauties are big and beautiful.
A full five feet tall.

I also drybrushed the hinges after I took these photos.

I'm in pink shutter heaven.
(There are pink shutters in heaven, aren't there...?)

*Sigh.....*

Outside the French doors, on the back porch, you can just make out the edge of the new whiskey barrel with the new pink rose standard I planted the other day. It's full of buds!

Imagine my complete delight when my talented husband agreed to make an additional set for our window on the landing of the staircase.

Yeah.  I love that man.

The problem now is...

I can't get any housework done.

I'm spending way to much time starting lovingly at ALL of my pink shutters...
and now hearing a CHORUS of angels.





LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
LAAAAAAAAAAAA!
LAAAAAAAA!
