There, *THAT'S* Better ...

Greetings, friends!  For those of you who were sweet enough to peek at our master bedroom mini-makover last month, you may remember my mentioning that I had been looking and looking for a drum shade chandelier (to replace our ceiling fan), but hadn't had any luck.  Sweet Kim (Savvy Southern Style) sent me a link to one she found on Overstock.  I then received an email from Amy, a manager at Overstock, informing me of a sale!  And, wouldn't ya' know, the chandelier that Kim suggested was on SALE!  Say no more ... woo hoo! 

Now, you see a big, overbearing, barely-used ceiling fan ...

and, NOW, you don't !!  Say hello to our new stylish gal, "Chandie" ... (of course, now, my OCD-self needs to change out the other shades to drum shades)!

I love her jewels!

How she glows at night ....

And casts fun shadows on the ceiling ...

Welcome to the family, Chandie ... we love you so much that we just might have to buy your twin for another spot in the house.  Hmmmmmm ... lol.  (Thanks again, Kim and Overstock!)

I'm linking up with:

The Nest Is Best!

This is a quick little craft that took me no time.

It started with a vintage white ironstone Johnson Brothers gravy boat and attached oval saucer. NOTE: This saucer was attached by the manufacturer and can not be removed.

I really loved the lines and color of this piece and instead of selling it in my booth, I decided to make it into...


 a sweet nesting complete with eggs.

New Kitchen Valance!

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 summer
