Just alittle note to say hi, and i hope everyone is doing well...Its been really crazy here at the romantic home. Ive been so busy with work and projects. Trying to finish up those dining chairs and a few other small projects. This old door was found roadside by a co-worker, so i gave it some new life and hung it on the wall...

My 15 yr old son, Nate, informed me he needed a new lamp, so i was on it......i decided to do one in his school colors with his football #....I thought it turned out pretty good.

Also got the new bed moved in, did some much needed organizing under the bed.....

even had time for alittle shopping.....

Have a great day.........

Leather sofa

Never thought ide love leather so much....but ive decided to incorporate some into the world of shabby.......

i love the way it looks with my antique pillow and the floor...more pics of this room coming soon. Have a great day everyone.

Chalkboard bed

Finally finished the bed. Thought ide share a few pics...This photo shoot was so much fun to do! Yes, the whole bed is painted with chalkboard paint, u can write any place on it...What a great way to leave a sweet message for ur lover, or to let him know uve got a headache, LOL.

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

Joining Courtney for "Feather Nest Friday".

French Chairs

Wait til u see the table.................Bonnie

Mixin It Up

Hi everyone, hope u enjoyed ur strawberry shortcake...........It was all fat free ya know ;).....Anyway, as u all know i love to mix it up, i love especially mixing alittle oriental decor into my shabby chic....Ive recently picked up this watercolor....i was struck by the colors, they are beautiful, and the pics really dont do it justice. I dont plan on leaving it here, was just propping it for a photo or two...Sis says it doesnt go with my style, but thats only because she wants it for herself, lol......Her style is more "formal eclectic" she says.........wouldnt that make mine "shabby eclectic"?, lol......enjoy the pics and dont forget to let  me know what cha think...........Bonnie

I do think she looks really pretty alongside my blue clock.........which gives me an idea............hmmmm

This is a piece which already resides on the nightstand.....isnt she a beauty?

Dessert for two

Taking alittle break from painting.........Hope everyone is having a very Romantic weekend!

Dessert for 2......

Life is sweet.................Bonnie

Pretty Baskets......They arent just for eggs!

In our home, ive placed baskets all over the place....They arent just for eggs ya know, lol. They are great for storing things, but careful, dont put all of ur things in one basket, lol....Here's a few of mine that i thought ide share, lots of pics......The first two i spray painted......The pink one moves around alot with all my current reads, while the green one stores "stuff" on the shelf over the puter....

This one holds all my jammies in the closet....

This one really isnt even a basket, its a purse, it holds all the latest Romantic magazines.......

I simply love old picnic baskets...

Why even the laundry dirty or clean deserves a pretty basket...........

Im always on the lookout for "new" old baskets when im out gettin my thrift on..........Hope u love them as much as i do................Bonnie
