Slowly, but surely

While some around here have time to just lay around, i can barely seem to catch my breath...So alot is happening here, Taylor is makin plans to move with her BFF and Michael will be coming home in about three weeks. So a change of plans is in order. Im so sad that my "minnie me" will be moving out soon, but at the same time im super excited that my eldest will be coming home for awhile........so now the room at the end of the hall goes from a "French Boo dwa" to a "French Bach lure pad"......Still working on the floor, meanwhile Mr. Romantic decided that all the baseboards needed changing out, thus moving up my reveal time...Ok, break time is over, lol....but this working Mom will get it done "Slowly but Surely"!

Til next time..........Bonnie

Oooooooh La La

While spending the day in St. Augustine yesterday and perusing all of my favorite antique stores i ran across a few things that i simply couldnt live without!.....I figured since ile be finished with Taylor's room next weekend, i could take on a few more projects and really now, neither of these are a "project" since i happen to love them just the way i found them...........When a piece starts out like this, there's simply no resisting...I love, love, love all things french........

I simply cannot wait to show all of u how i incorporate this piece into my front room! Brace urselves for the next find.........Its so shabby, and will be going in the same room as the french table...

Right now its propped in the garage so please forgive the mess......

Isn't it so shabby yummy? There is only one more awesome find, but i think im gonna wait and show u that one when this room is finished.....Bonnie

Im in love wit dis table................

Ok, i confess, the headboard isnt ALL ive been up to. Inbetween staples ive managed to finish painting the new coffee table. OMG(said in my best "valleygirl" voice), im so happy with it, i think im in love, of course no offense to Mr. Romantic, lol. Ive declared this "My Last Coffee table". I dont know about anyone else, but when i paint a piece, especially one this intricate, i bond with the piece, with each stroke of my brush the table and i become one............Alright, i know that sounded weird, lol, but i think yall know what i mean. Enjoy the pics and be sure to let me know what cha think............toodles, Bonnie

You can see the table in its "before" state  here. But why would ya wanna? It looks sooooo much better now, lol!

Living room update



Its Tuesday again, lol. Everyone join me at Kristin's

 

Hi all, Bonnie here, and look what ive been up to..........



This is where we started from.................

Im almost certain that i'll be painting this table white......



Im oh so tired!  Ive been working on too many projects at once. Hubby and i just finished a headboard which i hope to get started upholstering soon. Im doing it in a white shabby chic matelasse. .......but more on that later, this is supposed to be an update on the living room. I finished painting about a month ago, i still have a few projects in here, like painting the new coffee table and some new slipcovers, those are in the works......We put the new drapes up today, and im just beside myself with loving how they look, i got such a bargain on the fabric that was used to make them, $15, Penny hemmed them up really nice.........also got a great bargain on the curtain rod aswell. Hope all of my fellow bloggers enjoy the before and afters.............toodles

All this material for the drapes was purchased off Craigslist for a mere $15. Enuff for two drape panels and some left to make pillows. Penny fixed someone elses attempt at crudely making drapes, lol.
