My Love has a thing for lighthouses. He loves to visit them and read up on their history.
Here is one we visited at Port Isabel, Texas.
Here is one we visited at Port Isabel, Texas.
A few years ago I gave him a lighthouse for Father’s Day. It’s a decorative piece that stands about three feet tall. I think it’s just made of resin so it’s light and super cute. I cannot help but smile when I look out of our back door at night and see the little beacon light shine from across the yard.
Well it has seen better days so I just whipped out a little bit of the ole’ craft paint and touched it up a tad.
Here it is before in our back yard, faded by the sun:
About 15 minutes of time and a little bit of love it now looks like this:
Much better now. It’s actually one of the ONLY things that I have purchased for our back yard, everything else was either found or hand-me-downs! Even Mr. Frogger got a quick makeover! You guessed it, I found him on the curb way back when (he was previously green! as you can see on his feet)
I laugh when I see him because he always looks like he has something very important to tell me!
Back to our light house:
The blue is much brighter and hope it will make My Love happy to see it refreshed!
Two more days till our big luau partay! Now what else can I spruce up?
I'm with your husband. I love lighthouses and visiting them. I have posted a few on my blog but should do another post.
I'm sure he will love the way you have given it a face lift. I would love to have it in my back yard!
beautiful Light House, he will love it, I'm sure!!!!
