Taylor's room...

Aright, yes, i was the person who would tell what ur Christmas present was if i knew :-(...........I simply cant help giving things away, and cant keep a secret to save my life.........On that note heres a few more pics of whats goin on in Taylor's room. I finished painting the headboard and couldnt resist staging a few "sneak peek" pics of her room progression.....Enjoy!

Taylor's room

Only recently has this sweet young lady named Taylor captured our hearts since she's come to live with us. 

She's been such a joy to have in our home. We've been tryin to get her room together, and make a place that she can really call home...However, since there isnt an over-abundance of this....

It's all taking just a wee bit longer, lol. Mr. Romantic bought me an old amoire for our 18th wedding anniversary, and i never quite figured out just where to put it til now. After abit of work , it looks fabulous in Taylor's room. She loves it, and ile admit i love the way it turned out. Before...........

And after, freshly painted with leftover pink from the masterbath, lightly golded over the details, and alittle chalkboard paint, leftover from the dining room project.........

 Ignore the drawer pulls though, we are replacing them with crystal..

We've recently found a headboard, which ile be working on today,  and painted the walls in "ultra white". We still have window treatments, artwork , and flooring to address, bedding is in the works. Thats all ile say til the big reveal.......ule have to come back soon.................Bonnie

Im Baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Hi everyone, I know ive been away for awhile, ive been having computer difficulties along with a few personal ones....just wanted to let everyone know im excited to be back to blogging. Ive missed everyone so much. Ive missed my computer so much. How did we ever survive without them before? lol. My niece has recently come to live with us. We are quite excited to have her here. Trying to get my son's old room fixed up for a girl has posed quite the challenges. As budget has permitted weve been doing quite a bit along and along. Which we will be sharing soon...........Also in the middle of reno-ing the desk area. Its time the "blogspot" got a make-over, lol...Hope everyone is doing well and had a great Thanksgiving! So ile leave u with a few pics of the finally finished dropcloth slipcovers and the new pillows to go with, i will post more dining room pics this week......Bye for now......Bonnie

Enjoy! See u soon.

Mr. Romantic

Everyone meet Mr. Romantic, most people just call him Richard. He just finished building me a bookshelf that i thought ide share...He is awesome with power tools and often is instrumental in bringing my visions to life.......We make the perfect team! Now ive gotta get this bad boy painted and in the house, just as im about to wrap up the "farmhouse table project"............I really could use a break.

8 ft. long by 4 ft. high............Plenty of room for all of the books....

Primpin

I was pretty bored today, not that i didnt have anything to do, just nothing that i wanted to do, lol........So instead i re-organized my "primpin" closet.......This time i grouped everything together by color, just for fun...I know , im a bit of an "organized hoarder" when it comes to stuff that smells good........... Sometimes i tend to "over-indulge". Do they have a meeting for that????

Avonlea

Oh my what a tiring week this has been, much family drama. I wont get into all that though.....LOL. Heres a few alot of  pics of mine and sis' last shopping trip......Welcome to Avonlea, one of the largest Antique malls in Jacksonville. Its one of my favorite places to treasure hunt......Ule find such beautiful , unique furniture there..........They even have a wonderful cafe....

My friend Vanna would simply flip over the collection of amoires....

U can even shop while powdering ur nose.....

Mirrors abound and chandys fall from the ceiling as if suspended from the heavens....

There's something for everyone here...........

Tons of pillows..

I found this table very unique......

And this bench a "must have" swoon worthy piece...

Maybe next trip, we can all go?
