About Me

Hello… I’m Renee.  Welcome to Joy to My Heart! 

I’m a devout Christian, in love with my husband, I adore my children and my TEN grandchildren.  I love cooking, painting, being creative and entertaining.  My favorite color is blue. I have 4 sets of blue and white dishes. I love sitting on the porch, drinking coffee, reading and birdwatching. My husband and I spend our weekends looking for vintage items in antique stores and estate sales to restore, re-design and re-love!    Anything old, vintage and worn~ is fair game.

Grab a cup of coffee and come along with me….

 

Joy to my heart May the Lord Bless you

We’ve graduated our children from high school and college and one from law school and another in progress. We have married them all off,  birthed 10 grandbabies,  attended dance recitals, band concerts, kindergarten graduations, little league games, soccer games, track meets, birthday parties, and 2 baptisms and unfortunately, one divorce.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve had a mural painting business…see my website here , Painted two backdrops for our local Nutcracker productions, had a booth to sell my hand-painted furniture at Scott’s Antiques in Atlanta. 

Here you’ll find posts about the things I love ~ cooking, painting, decorating, entertaining and all sorts of projects. And, add to the list, being a wife, mother and grandmother ~ the most fun of all.
