always...

kiss me goodnight...

I love that phrase.

This is one of my favorite pillows

with those words embroidered on it.

I don't know about you

but when all is right with the husband,

then I can tackle just about anything,

but when it is not right...

it is not a pretty thing!

I've been spending some of the hot afternoons

up in my bedroom

(We only have A/C up here~

that is a move up from the "old days"!

as my older kids will attest to...

These old houses can get

up to 90 degrees in the upstairs-

How did they do it

without electricity and area fans?

I digress... I've been doing some past due spring cleaning

and, you know what that leads to...

decorating~I just can't help it!

We haven't done anything in here for quite awhile

so I'm wanting to fluff a bit

and finish up some things.

So I thought I'd show what it looks like right now.

This burgundy dress is a guinne sax

(if you know what that is-we know what age you are!)

I actually wore it to one of my high school dances-

of course, my date was dear hubby!

That tells how sentimental I am

and how I connect *memories* and *things*

The loveseat in the corner

was in my grandmother's house

for as long as I can remember.

She was way ahead of the times, don'tcha think?

We put the bathtub in the room

to be more like a bed and breakfast.

You can tell by the faucet

how many times I have used it:)

Maybe someday...

My 1/2 bath

the mirror harp we have put in 3 different houses.

We just buy an unfinished oak cabinet base

and then stain it to match.

But I'm thinkin' white paint!



This chandlelier was a surprise present

from my sweet husband.

I came home one day from shopping;

He had painted it & installed it.

Wasn't that sweet?
