Old french mirror......

If only this old french mirror could talk.......and tell the story of those who once gazed into it.....

how enchanting it would be to know......

how happy am I to give it a new home......

if only it could talk.........have a lovely Sunday! x0

I can't help myself....

Do you have a spot in your house that you just can't get enough of.....

you know the kind I mean,no matter what your doing you just keep going back to that same spot for another peek ........

well this is mine...my little white cabinet in the kitchen....

everything about it just makes me smile.....silly isn't it? Oh well.....

that likely won't stop me from coming back here....again and again!!! Enjoy the rest of your week, should have a good kitchen post for you soon(fingers crossed) x0x0

Still waiting....

Good morning.....well we are still waiting for our cupboard doors....think John is wishing he had just done them himself at this point....its the only thing he didn't do and they are taking FOREVER!!!!!

So while I wait I thought I would show you a little more of the kitchen....

my plate rack has taken on a whole new look....I found the old license
plate in the shed and thought it would add a touch of the industrial feel I so love....what do you think...keep or put it back in the shed?

Anyway have a great week,with any luck I will be back soon with the rest of the kitchen to show you.....never been good at waiting! x0

Welcome to my dream kitchen.....part one !!!

Welcome.....to my new bright,light and oh so fresh kitchen....

beams are hung....brick wall has been painted....

shelves are up and my "french mist" floor has been layed.....

all my little treasures are in place....along with some very special gifts from very special people.....Meg, Shannon & Tracey( French Larkspur) thank you so much!!!

Of course none of this would have happened if I wasn't married to the most wonderful ,hardworking,talented man on earth....THANK YOU JOHN.....

I am so thrilled with how it turned out.....and I am dying to show you the "other" side of the kitchen......but the new cupboard doors are not quite finished.....so please come back next week and I will show you the rest of the kitchen including the beautiful countertop John made...from antique lumber ! Thanks for sharing in my excitement....could hardly wait to show you!! x0x0

A sneak peek and an invite.......

It is with great pleasure I invite you to come by on Tuesday morning for part one of my kitchen reveal.....

I am so thrilled with the way it all came together...in just ten days(14 hours a day...poor John)

so please stop by if you can and bring a friend or two...theres room for everyone!! Till Tuesday......x0x0

Can I come live with you.....

Can I come live with you.......any of you....

I am tiny,quiet and really really nice....

oh and I am very neat and tidy.......honest!!

PLEASE..........

Fine I will just stay here....in about ten days I will have my dream kitchen....I know you don't believe me but its true!!!! Wish me luck!!! x0x0

Looking back....moving forward...

Hello and Happy New Year....where does the time go....thought I would take a look back at 2010....from a decor point of view that is....

from the new look I tried to give our bedroom,inspired of course by Jeanne D'arc....

to the complete overhall of our sunroom....which wasn't too bad at all..quick and quite painless.....

think it will always be my favorite room!!!

Then of course we re-did Meg's room and our tiny bathroom....

oh what a mess that was.....and now we are about half way through the biggest project we have ever done...the kitchen......going to post some demo photos this week, best brace yourself for those!!! Till then all the best to you my wonderful albeit far away friends ! x0x0
