A Cowboy and Me

by Tammy Gilbert - Story Teller & Published Author, Decorator & Aesthetician

4G Finds

Do you ever glance around in the room you’re sitting in and think, this couch would look so much better catty-cornered, you know…sitting at an angle? Or, lets take apart the armoire and use each piece as bedside tables? This is when Cowboy exits the building. Seriously y’all I have NEVER seen someone put their boots on as they are running out of a house backwards!  He is HILARIOUS!  He acts as if I need his help…as if!
I love to spend a weekend perusing antique stores, the fairs or just hitting up Hobby Lobby and Ross.  And then anxiously return to 4G to re-arrange furniture, change up my wall decor or even to turn a bedroom into an office.   I cried the entire time when I did that!  The bedroom belonged to our Boy Wonder, but that’s another story.
Sometimes my creativity involves slapping a coat of  paint on a door, table or chair and sometimes I’ll lather mastic on a piece of tile for a complete “re-do”.  One never knows what I’ll come up with, just depends on what mood strikes my fancy.

  I’m SO EXCITED to share my 4G finds with y’all and hope this page gets your creative juices “a flowing”!

A “farm life” tin sign that’s great indoors or out!

 I am one happy “pretend” cowgirl!  Fall is one of my favorite times of the year!  I love everything about it.  Pumpkin bread, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin scented candles…the list goes on and on.  This year I decided to give my fall decor a facelift.  After perusing my attic and decoration closet I found the perfect pumpkins to recycle.  I frequently get asked what my color scheme will be each year (apparently I change things quite often) just ask Cowboy.  This year my fall decorations will consist of farmhouse chic colors.  Warm neutrals, wood, feathered owls,  milk chocolate brown & lots of pumpkins!
So kick off your cheetah print heels, grab some plastic pumpkins, either from your attic or the dollar store and let your creativity flow!
Here’s my “how to” for the pumpkin rehab-
SUPPLIES:
Pumpkins of assorted sizes
2 Paint Colors, one for the body and one for the stem (I used leftover paint from one of my other projects) or you can purchase a sample color from Lowe’s
Paintbrushes (assorted sizes)
Elmer’s Glue & Gloves
Embellishments (ribbon, glitter, scrolls, design or initial stickers)
DIRECTIONS: Wash & dry the pumpkins, paint the body & let dry for 4 hours.  Using a smaller brush, paint the stem & let it dry for 2 hours.
Choose your embellishments and glue the back side of it, then apply to your pumpkins.
Ta-da!!
     
            Just as easy as that. Martha Stewart would be so proud of you!

Did I ever tell you about the time I went to Lowe’s to buy paint and it leaked out of my suv all of the way home? Yep, left a paint trail all the way home. But that’s another story. Dumb salesperson who loaded it. If I ever see him again I’ll walk right up to him and poke his eyeballs out!

Back to my story-
I turned my music on and painted, danced and painted some more. Time flew by because when…

There are times in our life that permanent cosmeti There are times in our life that permanent cosmetics makes our quality of life so much easier. Meet Ms Charlotte, she recently celebrated her 90th bday.  She has lived a life of beautiful memories.  Every time I get to see her she is nothing short of glamorous.  Her hair, clothes and makeup are impeccable.  And her perfume reminds of what a glamorous socialite would have worn back in the 50’s. 

When she visited me today I asked her what I could help her with. 

She said that she would never EVER leave her house without her makeup being just right and with her tremors, it takes her a hot minute to get it “just perfect”. 

So I got busy designing her brows and selecting the perfect color for her lower eyeliner all while chatting with her about life.  What a treat!!

Once finished she hugged me and said she knew she had chosen the right artist.  She wanted someone that wouldn’t try to make her look younger or faddish but timeless.

And then she said she’d see me next month.  I mentioned that  her that we didn’t need to do a touchup on her brows OR her liner.

She says: “Oh honey, you’ve done an excellent job on those but now it’s time to do my lips”.

ME:  Your lips? Are you sure?

HER: Absolutely! And no neutral colors for me.  I want fuchsia!  I don’t want to look boring and pale!

Fuchsia it is then!
