Framed Rose Print Serendipity!

No comments  
To me, it is serendipity when things just fall into place or when I am at the right place, at the right time.This is the case with my framed rose print.I came across a beautiful old rose print that had damaged edges and the previous owner folded the sides to make it fit another frame. I have a thing for roses, especially vintage.I knew that I would need to sacrifice some of the print if...

New Cool Rug!

No comments  
What I didn't share with you when I revealed my newly painted master bedroom (see that HERE), was the area at the foot of the bed that has just enough room for a 3' x 5' rug.Yes, I could go a bit bigger but the hand scraped elm hardwood floors are so beautiful that I wanted to see more of them. I just wanted something to accent the floor.So, have you heard of WUSLU? (http://www.wuslu.com/)...

New Kitchen Valance!

No comments  
I really do like the valances that I made recently for my dining room bay window. You can see more on that HERE. This large bay window is located next to the bar between the kitchen and dining room or breakfast room as some people call it.  I decided that since I had enough leftover fabric, that I should make a matching valance for my kitchen window. This would allow me to have a different s...

ReArranged Guest Bedroom

No comments  
Recently, I shopped my own house for furniture for my newly painted master bedroom. You can see more on that HERE. But you all know what that does. It causes a void in the room you stole the furniture piece from. Therefore, I had to rearrange my blue guest bedroom a bit. By the way, I call this guest bedroom blue, because the ceiling and the bedding and some accent pieces are blue.Basically,...

Addition to Drapes in Guest Bedroom

No comments  
Have you ever been nagged about something that you made that just isn't 'right' to you? Well, I have. First of all, the window in my blue guest bedroom was built almost up against a wall...(I call it my blue guest bedroom because the ceilings are painted a soft blue and the bedding is blue)Do you see how close it is to the next wall? Frustrating to make curtains for when the look you...
