Guest Bath Update

From this

Guest Bath

You'll have to use your imagination -

(I forgot to make a "before" pic.)

When we built, we used the

bar lights across the mirror -

I was SO tired of that look.

We found this pretty brushed chrome fixture

on clearance and it was exactly what I wanted.

Ya know - everything looks better when

it's a

 SALE!!!

I used urethane to paint stripes on the wall

when I repainted several years ago.

I didn't want to repaint,

was not tired of this look,

and knew I couldn't paint to match

the wall where the old light once was.

So, Mr. Handy Dandy

designed a board with crown moulding

to mount the new light fixture on.

This solved the problem of the "unpainted" spot on the wall.

I'm liking how it turned out, too.

Mirror, mirror on the wall.

You weren't a pretty mirror at all!!!

But, after finding a frame on the clearance aisle

at Hobby Lobby (love that place!),

painting it to match the woodwork and the

board above, you're the

Fairest Of Them All!!

Moved this from another room -

not sure if it will stay here or not.

It's not quite the look I want.

I'll stumble upon "just the right thing"

for this spot.

Sweet little green birdie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New updated look

easy on my checkbook, too.

Still not sure if I will paint the cabinet

(hubby says "yes")

but,

I do need to shop for new knobs.

And, I'm thinking about

a new granite countertop, too.

One thing leads to another.

Thanks for stoppin' in.

Have a blessed day!

My Favorite Spot

We spend so much of our time out on the screened-in deck. 

We eat all our meals out here when the weather is nice

and have even been known to "bundle up" a bit if it is too chilly.

The Pineapple Candle Holder

a fun "flea" find!!!

Our old pie safe.

We bought this from an estate sale

about thirty-five years ago.

We used it in the family room with our

tv inside - that was before the BIG

screens invaded our homes.

It sat in the storage attic for about five years

until I convinced hubby to bring it down to the deck.

Gives me a fun place to put some "pretties".

A good place for "Bird Watching"

We have a family of owls and

hawks living in the wooded area behind our house.

The owls start "hooting" about six o'clock every night.

An old sewing maching gets a new life -

so handy to use for serving.

I stenciled the top a few years ago

and am happy with the way it has "aged".



The trickling water makes the deck

even more relaxin'.

Kermit is a new addition this year. 

He moved into the pond this spring

and seranades us often.

Whatever time of day ---

"Quite Time" in the morning

Lunch at noon

Dinnertime

Enjoying hand-cranked homemade ice cream

Chatting with friends

Taking a nap

...it is my favorite spot.
