A Sconce Project

Well, I am finally back to painting especially since my hubby bought me one of those high-tech scary Darth-Vader masks so I can't breathe any of the fumes...
so here is one of my finished projects!

BEFORE:


AFTER:


Of course, it's one of the easiest projects I could have possibly taken on.. but that's okay! Slowly but surely... right?

Oh What a Beautiful Day...

... when you actually feel well....

What do you do when you start to feel a little bit better after 3 months? You guessed it!
So come along for a nice little ride...

I just fell completely in love with this iron crib... of course it doesn't meet safety standards, but sure is cute to look at!


Can they fit anything more into this little booth? I love it!




Of course I had to end the day with some souvenirs!

I thought this little drawer/dresser/display piece was darling! Couldn't resist... Now if I can just figure out where to put it...


And of course this little treasure for the front porch.. I just fell in love! Looks great where I put it!

Thanks for coming along!! Hopefully there will be many more antiquing days to come!!

Back From the Dead (literally)

WOW! I cannot believe how long it has been since I have been on my poor, neglected blog!! I am starting (and I repeat.. starting.. KNOCK on wood) to feel a little better now that I am a little over 3 months along FINALLY. Not only have I neglected my blog and everyone else's wonderful blogs (because EVERYTHING about going on the computer made me nauseous), I have also been neglecting my business, my poor house (you should our bedroom!) my friends (because socializing even made me nauseous), good food, the bills, and basically everything important in life... can I just tell you (or remind you) how BORING life is when all you can do is lay around all day.. and not even read a magazine without feeling nauseous? ..but now that I have arisen from my grave, I am starting to get back into the swing of things. I am sure the PS (pregnancy sickness- what brilliant man ever decided to name it "morning" sickness anyway?) will hit again because it seems to always come back right when you think it's over!...
MORE BLOG ENTRIES TO COME!! Because I was feeling a little better last weekend, my mom, sister, and I went antiquing... great pics to follow!

Yes, if you haven't guessed, I am pregnant and miserable! Please, any pregnancy advice will be appreciated!! (especially on how to deal with all day "morning" sickness!!)

Vintage Cupboard Extreme Makeover

Okay, so maybe not that extreme... maybe so un-extreme that all I had to do was change the knobs on this $15 beauty...

BEFORE:


AFTER:It goes perfect with the furniture in my office. Perfect for storage and for displaying my father-in-law's vintage childhood stuffed friends! Aren't they adorable!
