Wall in the Works

I looked at 4 hundred gazillion entry walls and finally found one that would work in my living room and that I could do the carpentry on myself.   I even have the primer and paint for the lower section.  wooohoooo

 I so dislike spending money:)  
 so it shouldnt take me long to bring this sample to fruition in my home.
ignore the fact that the welcome on the door is backwards, thats not their fault. I had to do a mirror image cause thats the way my wall is.

pin said BHG- sorry I dont have the link..if this isnt right- someone let me know and I will gladly add the correct link.  I love this and want whoever it belongs to , to get the proper credit..

 I would like to add some of those fancy hooks for coats purses umbrellas and such .. I have most of the elements they used on this wall and can easily come up with the rest.

Of course this cant happen till the donation center guys arrive to take all this STUFF away..

 its driving me crazy looking at it till monday but on the other hand its a good thing I have a few more days cause I keep finding more stuff that needs to go..  Some because I'm working my way to a simpler home design and the other reason I posted  HERE to Read why~!

Blue Baby Blue

This morning I was looking around at sites I dont often visit.   I usually check out Pottery Barn and Ballards if I'm looking for something-- for instance-- cleaning out my entire Living Rooms- and redoing it.

Playing at Susan's Party HERE 

  I doubt I would do this style or color in my home as I am still stuck on black white taupe and apple green. Those were my colors when so many folks went WHITE and now I notice the Big Sellers-- mentioned above:) are starting to advertise lots of Color..  Dontcha love how they manipulate the market.?  Sell everyone on white and neutral and when they've made a fortune off that - go back to dark wood and color and make another gazillion in profit.. 

anywhooooooooooooo..  I was at Ralph Lauren early this morning and I thought I'd share one of the collections they have this year.... I dont think Blue and White goes in and out of favor. Folks who love it-- LOVE IT all the time.
now I'll hush and you can enjoy the photos...

Thanks for visiting me... Ya know I love having you here...
Happy Thursday.

Allergies for Both of Us

Well, its official..  Me and my daughter both have allergies, including Food allergies.  This has been an ongoing issue for me fore several years but now after multiple tests and examinations and blood work and I dont even know what all else :)   She too has allergies almost as severe as mine.

 What this means is- we are both still healthy compared to many other folks and what they have to deal with but it also means LOTS of CHANGES have to happen within our Home.
 This isnt something that can be done overnite as it will consist of removing as much of the fabric as possible and by that I mean drapes and carpets.    I realize we cant live in a pristine environment and so I'll focus on the changes I can make and attempt to adjust the others.

For instance- scotchgaurd  on furniture makes it much easier to vacumm as the particles/dust/ dander and such- remain on the surface.  The Pom Babies will have to be shaved at least once a month- versus their usual quarterly shaving.  Until such time as wood flooring can be put in, Stanley Steamer will be here quarterly to do a thorough steaming of all surfaces.     Mattress boxspring and pillow covers must be purchased and used at all times.     I'm thinking this process may cost a bit of money before its over with but living as healthy as possible is the main issue and I am very grateful that though annoying, allergies are all we have to deal with , illness wise.. Oh yea and the food allergies but thats just a case of clean out the fridge cabs and storage room and purchase carefully, henseforth.      Heck, we may be much healthier for Life because of this.
 I always try to look for the Silver Lining and usually if I look for it- I find it.

 With all these changes that'll be going on around here I may only be able to post a couple times a week till I get this situation under control so if you dont see a post every other day- dont give up on me. K

 I'll still be able to take breaks and come visit ya'll.
Wish me Luck and thanks for visiting.. it means a lot to me.
