Bedroom Update 1

 Did ya'll see this was update 1..  Why, cause I may do several before its all done.  I think I know exactly where I'm headed though..
here are excuses//reasons:)
1. daughter was sick for 3 days- slept- so no noise could be made..
2. Carpenter= who I need to do a little configuring on the craigs list headboard I bought- his kids were sick.
3. Carpenters kids got better and Carpenter and his Wife- SICK- so I kept the kids here so they could get well in peace and quiet.
4.  Miss Buffy- ya'll remember the pom who sat on my newly stenciled pillows at Christmas.. She had a few seizures. We changed meds and she's been ok since.

so thats been the last 5 days and no decor involved..
 I do want to thank you all for your encouragement and for liking my new bedding..  I will get this accomplished- seriously I will..
***********************************************
I ordered some fabric and it should be here today.  Not sure if it'll be used in the bedroom or the living room.
 Thats what I like about my black and white color theme though- if it doesnt work in one room, there are 6 other rooms it just might work it OR  just swapping the family room pillows for the bedroom pillows gives me enough of a change to keep me from doing something crazy like redoing an entire room lol.. especially if it doesnt need doing cause whats there is probably less than 6 months old. 

so here's the fabric..this photo is large but the actual pattern is about 5 inches apart.  keys are a lot closer to each other- thank goodness..

 I got a few emails about this fabric so..

 Fabric Guru.. on sale 7.95 per yard.. They ship your fabric , regardless of quantity for 4.95..  Hope that helps all who might be interested.  They are having a great sale on many unique fabrics as well as their regular ones..... not advertising for them:: though they do have great customer service::  just passing on info for anyone who wants to know..

I hope all is well in your world.  As always, I appreciate your visit..

New Bedding

  New Years day was so nice.  Quiet and peaceful and spent with folks I adore.  Doesnt get better than that, well, except for the fact that after 3 years of trying many beddings sets- I finally found one I'm in love with.
 The shams, the bedskirt, the quilt- all suit me right down to the ground.. I know to ya'll this should be a simple thing but after such a long struggle its so good to finally walk by my bedroom door and smile.

  My new headboard  is painted and ready to hang, nite tables are painted but the knobs havent arrived yet  and the wall decor is sitting around in the room but not on the wall yet..  Still though, I am tickled the bedding is right and I think the rest is gonna fall into place in the next week or so.....

  Here's a pic of the bedding from the JCP site..  I love stripes and floral and this set is reversible. wooohoooo

  I'll be posting more as I get things done and then the reveal of the whole room soon..
Send me good decor vibes, would ya please....

Tea Tray with my GW finds

 I was at goodwill on the 22nd and I spied 2 tiny teapots and what is supposed to be a toothpic holder.. But ya'll know I often use things in ways other than their intended purpose:)   The teapots were 50 cents each and the toothpic holder was 25 cents..  Can I spend money like it was water or what lol..  I made a quick run in Hobby Lobby and they had napkins on sale for 99 cents.  There were some black with white polka dot ones calling my name and I listened..  I had the polka dot ribbon so I was set..  I like it and for less than $5.00 too.

  I used one pot for cream and the other for splenda and the lil holder for a candle.   I've had the tray awhile but decided to line the bottom with some of my document wrapping paper from Ballard. I love that paper and I have lots of ideas for using it that have nothing to do with wrapping .. 

I love black and white and I plan to add some grey to that mix this year. I LOVE those polka dot napkins.
 I may go back and see if they have more and make a couple of pillows out of them.. They are Large:)

 I'm partying with Marty~Tabletop Tuesday
((if i find any more parties, I'll add them, so check back))  I need to find the party list ..
Whats It Wednesday at Ivy and Elephants
Thanks so much for visiting me..   You know I love having you in my home.
