GLAMOUR GIRLS ...TAKE ONE
Hopefully that will be the last of the white scenery for now. Don't get me wrong I love the color white inside, but I'm ready for some pop of colors outside.
I have taken on a new venture in my life and I'm really have a blast with it. One day I was asked if I would help with the local pageant and I jumped on the opportunity. Thinking I would only be helping with the decorations. How much fun would that be !!!! I love to decorate, but don't have a lot of opportunities right now to do it. I don't have any girls ( only boys and they aren't to found of the frilly stuff) and I haven't been involved in the pageant scene for some 20 years, so you can imagine how excited I am about this opportunity.
Well, I'm not only helping decorate, I'm in with both feet.....Decorating, Planning, Practices, Talents, you name it I'm doing it. I'm very fortunate to be able to work with a wonderful Director and the contestants have become so special to me. In my book, they are all winners !!!!

Jewel of a Stool
The Luck of the Irish isn't only for the Irish, or at least that is what I told myself when I found this little jewel of a stool. Of course it is green for now, but that could change. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with her . I just knew when I saw her I had to have her.
She would make a cute little stool for a child, if I had a small one still at home. I could see her washed in white and a precious name painted on top. I could see a plant sitting on top of her or adding height to a table top centerpiece for Easter.
I would LOVE to hear your ideas of how you think I should use this lucky little find.

Can't wait to go get that pedicure and let the toes free from the wool socks.

A Work in Progress Continues.....
Day 4 of the Man Cave make over and I'm still not done.. but here are a few pictures of it in progress. I'm not sure what the previous owners had intended this room to be, but I can think of so many possibilities for it. Mud Room, Laundry Room, Office, Breakfast Nook, etc...., but as usual the guys have taken it over so it is now the "MAN CAVE". I am definitely out numbered 3-1 in this house. ha ha...
Here is a view of the doorway that enters into the kitchen. (Sorry about the unsightly hot water tank. Working on a door to cover it. ) I would love to remove the carpet and make a tile path from the back door up this step into the kitchen area. As you can see, the guys track in a lot of mud and I have to shampoo the carpet often. This door way was the original back room to the home before the add on. Wasn't ever ready finish correctly. Hope to add that to the honey do list. That pretty well covers the south wall.
The computer desk was sitting under the window, but didn't really fit under it ,
so we moved it across the corner and it really opened up the space.
Here is the door that opens up on to our patio. For extra privacy, I found these curtains to hang.
I have two so that they can be pulled open and access the door easily.
I hung them on a wooden rod. I want to get some curtain rings to hang them by. I think it will help open and close them when needed.
My mom gave us this bookcase years ago and it matches his computer desk so I balanced out that wall by placing it at an angle across the corner also. I just need to finish sorting the books.
The black shelf was placed when I thought it would be my office and I haven't decided if I want to take it down or not. Maybe I need to repaint it another color, what do you think?
I have hung a wooden coat rack that my hubby made years ago on the left wall. I've thought of placing a bench under it for the guys to take of their boots.
