Buzzings of a Queen Bee

My house is in such disarray that I knew exactly what to do..........start looking around for inspiring blogs to get me motivated.........it's also a great distraction. Hmmmmm........clean the playroom or blog........tough decision.

Buzzings of a Queen Bee is a charming blog full of all things domestic. It's a delightful way to distract yourself from the things around you that need your attention.

I love this girl not because she has my button.......but because she's not afraid to paint something. Great reasoning. She had inherited an old brass bed. She didn't like the brassy look.........she felt guilt about wanting to paint it........but hated the idea of having it and not enjoying it. She loved the antique look..........just not brass. So she did what every bold creative woman would do................painted it. It's adorable and she now enjoys it.

Now what really caught my eye was this chair. A chair that so many of us would just pass on by, But Queenie saw the good bone structure, the great lines, the classic look and took mercy on this poor old chair.

She had slip covers made in a wonderful black and white hounds tooth. I LOVE that!

I had been looking for a similar fabric for a small slipper chair I have..........she has a pillow made in the exact fabric I want, but her pillow is red and I want it in the black......don't you love the tiny little bee's?
She is always finding inexpensive way to spruce up her home. Take this bucket tin..........cute in it's day.......but not cute enough anymore..........Using a little scrapbook paper and some mod podge...........she now has a very stylish bucket. While we're looking at all the black accents of her lovely home.........she has a great photo wall. Something I highly recommend for all homes. This is such a great way to add style and charm to a large wall.......also a great way to display a large amount of photos. I've added other accents to my photo wall. My large monogram and the number indicating the amount of people in our family. I plan to add a silhouette of my son sometime.............maybe I can do that next instead of cleaning.Why don't I think of these things. Why settle for a plain lamp shade? She has several lamp shades she converted to her own liking. I guess some come with a self adhesive shade??? Who knew? This one she used a glue spray, a little fabric and some fringe.


Are you jealous of her yet? Well........she also cooks. Chicken Pot Pie...........this sounds perfect for a weekend meal...........like tonight. So glad that's planned.



With her many tutorials...........WE LOVE TUTORIALS! She created this cute little pot for a gift. Simple, cute, inexpensive and perfect!

Now this is a look I love! Anything 3 in a row is right up my alley. I know, I know..........Christmas is so over............we are done done done! But wait.............
See that pail that's painted red with white polka dots? I want it.
And this advent calendar.........she showed a tutorial on this. WE LOVE A TUTORIAL!

Did I already show this? I've looked at it so many times I can't remember if I shared it with you already.

It's a very simple idea.........I know it doesn't look like it, but trust me........you can do it.

Grab yourself a cup of joe and pay Queenie a visit. Please let her know how you found her........I have a feeling many of you already know her.
