big boy pics
and a couple of gratuitous baby pics, just because they're so cute!
Ok, so he's probably not the ideal assistant. He sometimes likes to chew the paintbrushes if I'm not looking, and yesterday thought it was a fabulous idea to run off with my paint-soaked rag, hoping for a quick game of catch-me-quick-before-I-rip-it-to-shreds. But he really is the most gorgeous boy, and is a huge part of our family. And how could you get angry at him, just look at that face!
So, while I'm finishing off the kitchen reno...(you know, the quick knock-it-over-in-a-couple-of-days reno? yep, still going but almost there, thank goodness!) Darcy is sleeping assisting while I give the spray gun a serious workout. This old silky oak mirror was in desperate need of a spot of zhushing, so it got the white treatment too.
Right, so I have rather dramatic plans for this one. I did hint about it in my kitchen inspirations pics, so eagle-eyed readers may already know what I'm planning. Let's hope it looks as good as the original!
Have a great weekend everyone,
all pics by me
Darcy is gorgeous! So cute, he could get up to all sorts of mischief and get away with it with those beautiful doggy eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your love comment yesterday Kerri, so appreciated!!!

What an adorable puppy you have! It's so nice to have a companion around who isn't fussed by constant reno-ing, isn't it? Can't wait to see what you do with that mirror.

I'm so hoping that mirrors going to be what I think it's going to be! And could I please swap the vampire slayer for Darcy? And was he named after the famous Mr?? Cause for sure if he was he'd be perfect! Happy zhushing xx
ReplyDeleteDarcy was a darling puppy that has grown into a gorgeous fellow! We should all have a handsome assistant like him! And I love the mirror, can't wait to see what you do with it!

ReplyDeleteMr. DARCY from P&P is one of my MOST favorite literary characters and I can just see him, there, in your gorgeous boy's big brown eyes!!! What a catch! Looking forward to seeing how you transform the mirror so I can snag the idea for myself! xx P&H
ReplyDeleteOh Kerri..I think my heart just went FLIP FLOP for Darcy...ubber ubber cute!!!

I'm very relieved to have sorted out the non-following situation! Your gy is sooooo gorgeous!!! My Molly would love to play with him. He's so adorable. Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteDear Kerri,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Darcy. He is my kinda dog. I watched 'Marley and Me' the other night. Such a simple little film but, I loved it. Darcy reminds me of Marley. He must be a tremendous help to you when decorating !!!! haha. I can imagine he gets into all sorts of trouble, but he must be very easy to forgive !
I think that I know what you will be doing with the mirror..... after Kerry's silver-leafing, I doubt that it will get that treatment !! Get cracking as I'm desperate to see everything finished !! XXXX
Oh I KNEW you were my kindrid soul .. and now I know why. You have a golden lab. I had one growing up and when we get some fences here we are getting one. I LOVE HIM. And darcy. Mr Darcy does it for me anyday!!!
ReplyDeleteohhh his so cute.i used to have the same breed when i was younger ...those puppy eyes awwww

I love Darcy's smile. In fact, I just plain love the name Darcy. It hints at whimsy, character, and unbridled joy.

There's nothing like a labrador..beautiful boy..Love his name! Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteDarcy looks like a beautiful boy. It's nice to have a bit of company when you are painting and projecting isn't it. Especially when the company just looks at you adoringly with big brown eyes and never points out any mistakes! Looking forward to the mirror reveal.
ReplyDeleteOh I know I shouldn't be blogging but couldn't resist having a sneak peak when I saw Darcy...he is beautiful...love gorgeous dogs we have a white fluffy called Max...have a lovely weekend :) Kym X
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting pictures of Darcy. He absolutely is... so darn cute. I love labs... they are so loyal and friendly. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Aw, he's adorable, Kerri.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I used to have a yellow lab, and she chewed EVERYTHING! But was too cute for me to yell at her!
ReplyDeleteYour "assistant" is fabulous and that face, ah! Adorable. Count yourself lucky. An assistant who chews up rags and paintbrushes is way better than one who blabs all day. Are dogs not the perfect companion? Yes, I would say so. Love your blog.
