Bathroom Decor, Birthday Present, Living Room Decor and Quilting

BATHROOM DECOR: Raymond was in the middle of painting the hall bathroom when I decided to move the guest room and the sewing room, so in the flurry of switching around the two rooms, I never got around to mentioning about the painting.  Originally that bathroom was painted a very dark avocado green, walls and [...]

A Little Progress

First, here is another picture of the sewing room. This one shows the nice view of the front yard that I get when I have the blind open. It was hard to get a good picture because the brightness from the outside vs. the brightness of the ceiling light confuses the camera.

I have an old [...]

Room Switcharoo: Part 2 Sewing Studio

As mentioned in my last post, we moved the sewing room and the guest bedroom so that I could have more room for creating.  Here are some pictures of the new sewing room with all the stuff just piled in there:

New Things

Yes, it has been a while since I posted. Things have been pretty quiet around, here if you can believe that!  A few weeks ago we finally got furniture for the kitchen.  Here is a picture from the day Raymond put it together. He is so handy.

New Additon

It is a lovely floor lamp with little shelves for my knick knacks. We saw it in Wal-Mart a week or so ago and I thought it would be [...]

My Design Wall

 Over the last couple weeks, we have moved my ’studio’ into the empty living room.  Although I managed to get all my sewing stuff (well most of it) into the back bedroom, it was a little crowded. Since we haven’t gotten around to deciding on living room furniture, we decided the space might be used [...]
