Blue Over You

You! On the stairwell ceiling! Not that there is anything wrong with you, Blue, but you look like you should be on the wall in our sweet grandson's nursery! Blue is obviously a color that is hard to get right. I failed miserably so it's back to the drawing board, also known as the paint section at Lowes!

 

I Am So In Trouble!!

There is an auction house here  in Texas! In Ennis! In my neighborhood! Two blocks down the street! Dripping with all manners of scrumptious antique goodness!! And it gets even better...If I cannot attend in person, then I can bid online. Thank you to my friend who clued me in!! 

And just so everyone knows...Yes, I did! Yesterday! And won this!

Yah me!!!! 

If You Can't Fix It, Cover It

See the glass insert in the door? Well it's not glass, it's plastic! And it's a cross between puke green and neon green and if that's not bad enough it has white paint smeared all over it!! 

It's been on the to-do list ever since we moved in this old house along with about 1,000 other things but other than replacing it I just couldn't decide what to do to cover up the eye sore. 

So...for now...my quick fix is to cover it. With this! Since there's a lot going on in this room, I needed something plain and simple.  Removing the wallpaper is also on the list! But  I don't know how long it will be before we get to it! 

Better, don't  you think? For now at least! 

This Old House

....is kicking me in the rear!!!!!!

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Or is it? 

Decorating is just something I do first of all because I love it and secondly to give myself a diversion from all other cares and concerns that plaque me!

Yesterday as I sat in our TV room and talked on the phone with a friend, I must have looked like a jack in the box, jumping out of my chair over and over as I rearranged the books and accessories on the shelves!

For now I like the way they turned out, also knowing they are only one phone call away from getting a completely different look! 

Sometimes when I can't decide about the placement of things, I take a picture and can immediately see what I need to do. So that's what I did here with the arrangement of the blue and white jars. 

The first pic was the original arrangement. The second pic was what I thought to be the new and improved arrangement, that is, UNTIL I looked at them side by side. I think now the first one looks better. But what do I know? 

Speak to me pics!  What? What did you say? 

The first one? Maybe the second one? But probably the first one?

Oh good grief!! 

A personal not to myself and FYI:  In light of everything else in this world and in my life, I know the shuffling of these vases is insignificant!  I will move on pretty quickly as I try not to allow things such as this to consume my thoughts or my day! 

Do You See A "C"?

If you do not see a second "c"  it is perfectly ok. Neither do I!! There was not one so I used the power of suggestion!

Chair Makeover

From this (which I like, by the way!) The fabric does not work with everything else going on this room! 

To this!
