My Humble Bathroom

Hello everyone! As always its been a while - I need to post a recap post after this. I wanted to post pictures of my bathroom.


When I moved in, it was very drab and depressing. Something had to be done! I'm a big believer that your home surrounding should be magical, peaceful, artistic, full of love - YOU! For your home is where your heart is, created memories and your sanity. If my home is off, then so is my mind.


So I took this bathroom and turned it around. Mind you that you don't have to have a lot of money and talent to do so. A lot of bargains can be found and simple updates such as new paint, new light switch covers, toilet paper holder and so on can make BIG improvements for only dollars.


I posted before and then the after's however this blog always distorts images colors for some reason. Anyway, I hope you get inspired and be sure to click READ MORE, xoxo

 

Vintage Halloween Bella!

I came across a chance to get this 1930's Halloween costume which I LOVE!

AND it fits Bella!!! I also came across an old Halloween picture of a girl wearing the same costume and candy lantern. I just had to take pictures of Bella wearing it for our own keepsake memories.

Granny's Korner

Last weekend we went to Tomball, Texas and had a good visit at Granny's Korner. This place is like a maze with all sorts of twist and turns, I really did get lost in a wavy sea of antiques! My favorite piece that I found there was the red Gone with the Wind lamp - I wish I could have gotten it, now I will obsess over it until I can get one.

Pretty in French Pink

Easter is getting close and all the pretty pastel bunny colors are in the show - reminding me of this French Provincial dresser and night stand I did for Bella, with her help of course! AND can you believe I got this set for FREE through Freecycle! Actually, I have gotten many awesome items from Freecycle and every city has one, even a few Freescycle groups you can join - just check out the link I provided. I also Freecycle everything I don't want or need any longer to keep the give and take dynamic going ;)

Spoon Ring of Roses

Sometimes I just get a thought stuck into my head and just like that I wanted a spoon ring. It is said that during the 17th century England, servants would steal silver flatware from their employer and crafted them into wedding bands for their beloved. Such an act of love from beautifully carved spoons indeed make lovely symbols of commitment for richer or in this case, the poor. In the 60's, these sweet rings made their rounds again but this time for fashionable old world reasons as oppose to the poor man's ring.

Of course I got one with roses from The Plantation pattern flatware originally from 1881 and reproduced, as in this ring, in 1948 from Dzines Laura. Their are many gorgeous patterns you will come across from antique, vintage and new - I may have to get a few.
