Cowboy boots are not just for "the cows and the boys" anymore...Country Chic women are wearing them with everything from jeans, to spring/summer dresses, to daisy duke cut-off shorts to basically whatever they feel like wearing them with.  LOL!!!  I think that it is the "country bad-ass" attitude that makes you fashion fearless!  LOL!!!  Even the innocent Taylor Swift looks "CountryHaute" in her outfit.

The secret is Loreal's Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base Primer!  This facial primer works great at filling in facial lines and pores to leave your face looking flawless and with a smoother appearance.  Use it after you have applied your moisturizer but before you apply your foundation.  It preps your face for a smoother foundation application.  I purchased my jar at Ulta but I am sure that you can get it at your local Walmart, Target or supermarket chain.  Try it...you just might like!  LOL!!!

This is a great no-budget decorating idea for the cabinetry space above your stove or microwave. I just removed the doors, painted the inside of the cabinets and added an iron piece over the space. The iron piece is removable so that I can clean the glass items and change out the accessories for the different seasons and holidays. Follow me on twitter@HauteOnDesign for more no-budget decorating.

Yes, I do have many talents hidden away.  Designing and making custom baskets is one talent which allows me to have total freedom of expression.  I still have to follow the same decorating and design principles (scale, proportion, color coordination etc) or it will end up looking more like a hot mess of a collage.  LOL!!!  These baskets can be custom made for any special events, birthdays, wedding presents, silent auctions, mother's day etc.  Give your gift in Haute Style!!!

Re-upholstering is another talent that I have in my "secret jewelbox"...LOL!!  I love to take old things and turn them into new things...at least new to me and my home.  LOL!!  I found this footstool ottoman along with its chair in the trash.  Can't blame them for throwing it away.  It really smelled so awful that I had to strip it down outside because of the smell.  But I can not complain because free is always a good thing!!!!  I decided to re-upholster the ottoman first because it was the easiest task.  I will tackle the wingback chair at a later date.  My fingers are recouperating from the late night staple pulling.  LOL!!!!  Well anyway...new cushion, new fiber wrap and new fabric later produced a.......new footstool ottoman.  Enjoy!!!
