the afters (plus 1 before)

all but one wall {in desperate need of repair} have been painted

calm...serene...simple...warm

me!

{actually i'm not all that calm or simple, but i love the look}

busybusyBEFOREdidisaybusy?

mrs. dunbar requested a before and after so i was forced to include at least one before shot

oh, how i love this print from Teresa Sheeley

we nabbed 4 of these wooden trim pieces from a house being demolished

{at least 10 years ago}

i LOVE them up there!

can i just take a bow now?

i pounded a hole in a cork and shoved it over the nail

brilliant.  if i do say so myself. {grin}

love these 1-4 plates on the soffit over my sink

{what a funny word soffit is!}

tucked this keep calm sign in an out of the way place...

so as i'm cooking i can glance up and be reminded to carry on

now i need to carry on in the dining room...

so many treasures...

{patty, do you see my little sign on the bench in the lower left corner?}

so little space to display them all!

25 teenagers coming over tonight so i better get off this computer and start putting away and cleaning up

happy wednesday everyone...hope it's a sunny day wherever you are

xoxo
