WOW! Time flies.

It's been a year. Over one maybe? We've been busy. Busy with a new business, busy with our home- we built a new bathroom/laundry room- busy with our kid....who is now 12 and doing all the things that a 12 year old boy does....sports, guitar lessons, after school activities etc..... I have to get back into writing things down..... not for anyone other than myself really. SO, I guess what I'm saying is that I am back. I have a new attitude, a new aesthetic.... a new lease on life.  After all, I officially got old this year.... I have to grow up sometime. 

One of my many new projects....shiplap! 

The next big project I know nothing about.....

I have to re wire a chandelier. Or I need to find someone to pay to rewire this chandelier....

I am totally aware this is an awful picture. Unworthy of being on the Internet even...but I can't go and get the thing right now, and if I don't write about it now, I might not do it for a while. Live with the picture.

The Mr. bought me this lamp at a garage sale this past fall. It was in a box, in pieces. I didn't think it was all there at first...

I was wrong. It's got exposed exterior wiring. Not that I was EVER considering using it's vintage wiring mind you, but this wiring just looks like a fire waiting to happen.

It's bronze colored, but it has spots of white on it- probably from ceiling paint. I have to decide what to do with it's finish, how to re wire it and then get our electrician to run electric into the dining room (no, we don't have it already) and then hang this thing.

I plan on hanging it where the large drum shade is in the dining room

I would really like it to look as good as this

                                                  when I get done with it...

                                                 I hope it's in my skill set.

white rooms

This is my dining room. It's not finished yet, this is primer only because I can't find a white I love. I'm giving myself a day off tomorrow not to worry about paint colors and go shopping.  Inspiration will come to me.


These are my pictures of my favorite living room of all times.

These pics have been everywhere- apartment therapy, home and garden, etc.. I just think this room is perfect. I love it. My Mr. does not. We are at a impass...

Dining room of my dreams

I believe this goes with the green and white living room in an earlier post....

Dining room inspiration

I love this picture so much, but not enough to have kept the information about where it was from. I THINK it was from Met Home. I could be wrong though....
