Pocketbook



I love this pic.  Big R would get a kick out of this one.  He always makes fun of me for carrying around my gigantic pocketbook/duffle bag with me wherever I go.  He wouldn't put it past me to pull this off!! Ha!

baby cakes


Well, it's time to address baby cakes (baby g's) room.  The poor child has been stripped of every piece of artwork that was in his room and now he has bare walls.  It's embarrassing when friends come by and say "ooh, I want to see your boys rooms.  I bet you have your work all over the walls!"  

Not so, my friend. 

 I do not have one piece of blue chickadee in either boys rooms.  So, that's my next goal. This is what I am thinking for baby g's room.  Fish.  I love this painting below...


This is a mobile I painted for a friend to hang against the wall in her baby boy's nursery.  I started thinking this may be the way to go in baby g's nursery too??!!


I also have this 30"X40" koi fish picture from Kate's Paperie hanging on one wall now. 


I need something above his crib that he can't pull down.  I'll keep you posted....

Junkotique Finds

So last weekend I went to Cola to visit mom and dad and while there, mom and I went junk-o-tiquing (not a word, I am aware, just love that my mom calls it this!)  I am such an impulsive buyer-a serious problem!  I know what I like, I see things that I like, so I get them-this is why I don't go shopping often!  The problem is I love the "thing" but have no where to put the "thing"-anyone else with me on this???  It's just hard to resist a cheap price at a junk store.  Big R is ready to put all my finds on the street because they are infringing on his garage space.....



The above table was found here in Mt. P and I saw it within 30 seconds of walking into the place.  It had my name written all over it!!! Look at the legs!!!   I will find a place for this-either on the new porch we don't have or the new playroom we don't have-Ha!  And yes, the above picture is taken in our junky and dirty garage that I want to change into an all white dreamland.


Pair of lamps-one with a harp, one without.  Needs some rewiring and shades, but I thought they were pretty cool.


 Broken piece on the bottom, can't get the harp off (semi problemo) and new shade/rewiring needed.  All of these "easy" fixes will probably double my price of what they originally cost-oh well.

And lastly, this is a planter or a trashcan.  Needs a little brass polish and then we'll be good to go.  What have you found lately?

Painted Floors

Have any of you painted your floors before?  I mean in high traffic areas.  We have a garage that needs to be turned into a playroom ASAP and I have this image in my head of a clean crisp white room.  Floor to ceiling with all white linens and seagrass rugs.  I'm living in a dream world.  That's just the worst idea ever with 3 boys and a dog, right?  I want feedback on painted floors and how they hold up..let me know!

OR

I could go with a fun geometric or stripe to try and hide the dirt?

Swingin


I've got a thing for swings. I always have. I think it dates back to my days of swinging on our porch. We had the coolest one right smack dab in the middle of the second story porch. My dad rigged it up somehow-chunky rope and wooden seat. It looked something like this..

I always thought it would be cool to have a bed on the porch to swing on like this...

R, this is what I would like to have on our porch in my next life-ha!

Or, I'll take this in a skinny minute:) I'm not picky.

I think my boys would have a ball jumping from bed to bed and swinging these frames straight through the sheet rock!

I love this bunk room picture on the top right. I wonder how hard that would be to achieve???
