IM THRILLED WITH MY NEW FIND

CLICK TO ENLARGE PICTURES

We were driving down the street and I spied this at a yard sale, that we almost drove right on by. The woman was asking 12 dollars but told me i could take it for 10 dollars......YES 10 DOLLARS!!!!, how could i refuse that deal. It is in good shape, and the inside of the doors are wicker. I have no idea how old this is or what it was originally used for. I have visions of it being painted in a nice cream color and new hardware. I also think it would make a nice tv stand. Before i put my hands on it, i am open to ideas. Im so excited i can hardly wait to bring it into the house.

SHOW AND TELL FRIDAY

I would like to thank Kelly over at "There is no place like home" (http://kellisplace.blogspot.com) for holding this event. Stop by and check out her beautiful blog.


My show and tell isnt exactly a treasure, its more of a confession I LOVE PINK!!!! (well certain pinks) First i changed the picture above the sofa, (see before pics in post below) for a lighter airey feel that im craving, and hidden in my stash of pillows were these two pinkish/coral pillows just waiting for me to give them a spot. I must admit i bought them for the color. Yesterday i decided to place them on the sofa and i must admit i really dont mind them there at all and no complaints from the dh..lol They are not dusty rose as the pictures show and my intentions were/are is to add some embellishment to them so there is some pattern, just havent figured out what to do, im not the most creative person. So that is my show and tell.

BAD kitty!

Does your cat check out every change in your home? My real flowers had seen thier day, so to fill the jug i added some fakes (my favorite type of flower) and some sticks until such time i add some fresh flowers again. The next thing i know there is missy cat sitting on the table checking them out. She normally doesnt lounge on our table, but cats just have a cheeky way that seem to say, "i can do as i so desire" because im queen of this house.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

LINDA/MOM this is for you...living room sofa

KITCHEN CUPBOARDS PHASE #1 DONE

I WAS ASKED TO POST THE KITCHEN ONCE THE ADDITIONAL CABINETS WERE INSTALLED. THE PANTRY THAT ONCE LIVED BESIDE THE FRIDGE NOW RESIDES AT THE END OF THE COUNTER WHERE THE DROP DOWN CUPBOARD WAS THAT REALLY DIDNT SERVE US MUCH PURPOSE....WE THEN HAD THE KITCHEN DESIGNER INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL WORK SPACE AND STORAGE BESIDE THE FRIDGE. I AGONIZED OVER THIS MINI ADDITION TO THE KITCHEN BUT NOW THAT ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE LOVE IT, THE KITCHEN IS FAR MORE PRACTICAL AND SO EASY TO WORK IN. BEFORE AND AFTER PICS!!

AT LAST WE CAN MOVE ONTO PHASE #2....CURTAINS, ETC ETC DECOR


I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A FANTASTIC MOTHERS DAY

WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY MOMS DAY!

YES he loves me!

My sweetie and I met on January 13, 1978, i was fifteen and he seventeen. We were sweethearts and best friends and married on May 1, 1982. We now celebrate 27 years of marriage, three beautiful daughters that we are absolutely so blessed to have, considering we were told that we may never have children. Of course, like most marriages, we have been through many struggles but i feel these times are what has made our marriage what it is today. These beautiful flowers were given to me by my sweetheart in celebration of 27 years of marriage. Love you always darling!
