All Done!!!

All Done!!!
That's right after months of little decorative touches here and there
I am finally DONE!!!!

You may remember the first thing I started with months ago were the curtains.
and an Oregon Coast color pallet



I got the idea for my curtains from this picture I took at Mammoth Falls.


I wanted something white and foamy


So  I chose to go with white and ruffles to give me the cascading white foamy waters.  I was not disappointed with my finished product
I think I maybe could have added a few more ruffles to the long window curtains, but all in all, I like what I ended up with













You may remember my color pallet from my old post months back,





This is the print of a bed spread I came across at the local  Home Goods Store.
This particular bed spread only came in a Queen size and I needed a King size, so 
I had to do a little improvising of my own.


This is what the Queen size spread looked like on my bed before I made some additions.
So in keeping with the ruffles of the curtains, I added four layers of ruffles to the 
bed spread.


I made a separate panel of ruffles and attached it to the edge of the 
Queen spread.


And here is what I ended up with, again pretty happy with the results.
This way I get the look I wanted without having to try and lift the King size
mattresses in order to put on a dust ruffle.
Then I added a little chair I had recovered a while ago and a little end cabinet  
I painted up with some Iris's on it.


I love this little cabinet because it give me someplace to hide my books and such.
The chair is just a nice place to sit when I put on or take off my shoes.
I also have a little bench that I use to put at the bottom of my bed.
I moved it over to the wall and covered it with a throw I made,
 out of some extra fabric.


This also give me a place to sit and relax.
And remember the old window I salvaged from my dining area years
ago when I replaced all the windows in my house.


Well, I still have it but I added a little something to jazz it up a bit, 
as well as painted my room a peaceful blue.






Just in case your not able to read what my fabric flag banner says, 
"Happily ever after"
I made this little flag banner out of some fabric scraps I had lying around.
I think it added just the right touch of "sweetness".
And for some final touches I have one of the first pictures I ever painted 
hanging on the wall.

This painting has one of my favorite quotes on it by 
Elanor Roosevelt.



For the finishing  touches I placed a nice full, 
"Creeping Charlie"
on top of my black armor that houses my television.


and a fresh vase of 
"Sun Flowers" 
cut from my garden in the back yard, 
and my little "heart" shaped rocks

Well that's it, there you have it,
 my finished bedroom, 
I think I'll go pick up a few little white throw pillows for the 
bad and call it a day.

Hope you enjoyed sharing in my bedroom project!!!

Much love to all!!!

A few winter PROJECTS!!

SO HAPPY TO SEE WINTER IN MY REAR VIEW 
MIRROR


This was just a sample of what I had to deal with!!

Staying cooped up in the house this winter I was able to start
and even complete a few fun projects,

TAKE A LOOK!!!


 A few months ago my neighbor came over and offered me 
a couple of beveled window. 
The window came out of an old home that was being torn down.
I accepted the windows and took them right away to my favorite custom 
wood works carpenter/artist friend.
He is truly AMAZING!!

 He was able to build an additional frame around the windows,
as well as adding some shapely legs.

And like magic I had two amazing end tables.
Once my table were created it was time to put a finish on them.
I was going to milk paint the tables, but as I was looking for just the right color,
I came across my new favorite paint!!

Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint


although its a great paint product it's not cheep!!
but a little bit goes a long ways!!!
I found that it was well worth the price that I paid.


I finished off the table in a Pure White with an antique finish.




I think the end tables turned out 
BEAUTIFUL!!!
BUT WAIT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

again thanks to my amazingly talented neighbor
J.Thompson
http://www.jthompsonworkshop.blogspot.com

I was able to put some finishing touches on my dinning area.
I have always wanted to live in a renovated barn, but until that
dream comes true, I'll have to make do!!!
So I had Joey make me some Barn Doors!!
take a peek:

open

closed
and can you see that beautiful table,
again another creation by
J.Thompson

I'm so thrilled to have such quality made custom furnishings.
But again,
THAT'S NOT ALL!!
take a look at what my Honey had made for me as
as Christmas gift.


I love, love my custom Rocking Chair!!
It is perfectly seamless and so comfy!!
You can see a couple of different pictures of this chair on
J.Thompson's blog sight

Well friends I better get going and get my day started!!

Restless....

Well as some of you may know I am a,

 RESTLESS SOUL.

Restless in the sense that, I need change!!
That's right change is a good thing for me, 
that is when it comes to my home furnishings 
and wall colors.  
Honey always tells me that were loosing square footage in our home due to 
all the different layers of paint colors we've had on the walls.
But that's "OK" with me, 
I'm willing to sacrifice a few inches slowly 
over time to have just the right color.
So as you might have already guessed,  I'm at it again.
My colorful, restless inter muse has grown tired with her surroundings.

my front room currently


Now mind you if my muse had her way, she would hire out all the work, 
and buy all new furnishings,
but alas, she to has a limited budget as well.

So it's time for her to roll up her sleeves and get to work.
Time to pull out the sewing machine and painting supplies.
For my living space transformation.

 I have chosen a color pallet that reminds me of the 
Oregon Coast.


I have always longed to live on the Coast of Oregon.
I love all the colors of the coast, 
they calm me, 
they bring peace to my soul as well as 
invigorate me with so many splashes of color.
So if I can't move to the Oregon Coast, I'm going to bring 
the Oregon Coast to me!!

I've chose to use blue, grey and cream for the walls.




 With accent colors of mustard, maroon, green, darker shades of blue 
and splashes of white.



I would love it if you would join me in my homes transformation.
It's always better working with friends, it helps lighten the load, 
and makes time fly.
I'll share my before and after photo's with you, as well 
as giving you my opinion and review of the different products I will be using.
Feel free to jump in any time with comments or questions.
So let's put on our paint clothes, roll up our sleeves,
and get started!!!!
