LUXURIOUS BEDDING - french country bedroom
I easily can admit I have an obsession with bed linens. I want to change them at least once a week to enjoy the crisp clean feeling when I get into bed at night. I have even converted the man of the house to want to change the bed just as often.
DIY FRENCH HEADBOARD - combining items
Every now and then I get an itch, a nagging desire to change something in the house. I start to focus on it, maybe something isn't working right for us or the look of something is bothering me. GG has even given it a name ...
"AWEFULIZING" The wheels start to turn in my head, and
over the years he has learned to recognize it. As soon as he
sees it, he tells me to stop awfulizing. The truth is if I didn't
awfulize over it I would not be able to create. It's part of my
process, it's the main component to how I do what it is I do.
Now that brings me to our headboard. I always wanted a
tufted headboard, one stop into Sleep Country way back
when and I bought one. We both like it but it also lacked my
personal touch or something unique to us, which has
always bothered me.

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful woman who inspire,
nurture, and go way beyond.
Today is the day you should do NOTHING. Rest, relax, rejuvenate, and relinquish the
reigns to someone else today
and see if the world does explode.

Our little dressing room has grown and matured so much in a few short years. This room serves all our clothing needs including laundry folding, ironing, and every day dressing.
ST. PATTIES DAY - green inspiration pictorial
St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17
because that is the feast day of St. Patrick,
the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he
died on March 17 in the year 461 AD.
In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day,
people traditionally wear a small bunch of
shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear
orange, white and green badges, and women and
girls wear green ribbons in their hair.
A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore,
usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red
or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief.
The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making
shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured
by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power
to grant three wishes in exchange for their release.
In the color spectrum of the rainbow,
green is a second-order color formed from the
mixing of yellow and blue.
In feng shui green means balance
which inturn brings harmony.
It is versatile and it isn't gender specific
until we choose it to be.
We can find green just about
anywhere we look,
Green apples
Green glass
Green limes
Green beds
Green curtains
Green walls
Green shades
Green chairs
Green doors
My favorite green will always be *HOME*

I WANNA BE .... - copy me challenge
This area is where I have done most of my refinishing over the last 3 years, part of my kitchen.
As some of you know from reading my house tour we live in less then 800sq.ft it's tight and most
rooms have to be duel purposed. I finally had enough of the chaos when it came to
cooking and dining and listening to George stumble down the hall to go to the
bathroom in the night.
bathroom in the night.
Last Month I decided to moved a great deal of the
house around so I could start working in the back room. One day while visiting the *MISS's blog*
I came across her grandparents desk and just adored how she had it placed. Well *my reproduction*
Miss Mustard Seed desk (last summer yard sale $15)
should have the same status in our home, after all I do love it, and now
there was an empty spot for it. But unfortunately this is the reality of our home.
The results for me and this challenge is:
I wouldn't mind being more like Miss Mustard Seed
