Lauren's Room Updated!!!

2012-05-26T15:33:00.001-07:00

OMG, a post on Saturday? What the heckers? It's not even Tuesday....I'm trying folks, R.E.A.L.L.Y.

Well, I just had to share Lauren's NEW Bedding! Yep, changed it up again. Remember I bought her that beautiful chenille bedspread? We incorporated it into her new bedding, and by we I mean Maureen Mahoney of 2and2Together. I had the 'dream' and she has the MAD SKILLS! Crazy mad skills.

So....TADA!

She created the bedspread, pillow sham, throw pillow and stool cover. I sent her the chenille bedspread, and then ordered the rest of the fabric online and had it shipped to her. Did I mention, the bedspread is reversible! She even created slits in the end to accommodate the bed!

Have you ever seen anything more lovely? I adore the ruffles on the pillow sham, they are to die for!

I kept the color monochromatic, after convoing Maureen, she really has an eye for color and pattern.

What a yummy throw pillow, love the rosettes and the minky fabric.

I'm so jealous, I may trade rooms with her!

The stool is adorable, and just finishes the room!

Here are pictures of everything else she has done for me so far.

Powder bath sink skirt. Love the pleats! It's attached with velcro so I can wash it too! Genius.

Bench for the foot of my bed. I still need to order a piece of foam, to help hide the tufting.

Ottoman cover, again with the pleating. I heart pleats.

Future projects, coming soon.

She is designing bedding for my son's room using men's suiting next. Then another sink skirt, for the 'new house' and a shower curtain for the master. The list goes on really. I just wish she lived closer, I wonder if she would like to come live with me? Hmmmm....

Thanks for stopping by! Love xx

Anything GOES!!!!

2012-05-22T07:04:00.000-07:00

Party Time! Missed me? I've been crazy busy. I'm working on out sourcing my life. REALLY.

I've been talking to movers, cleaning folks, landscaper, seamstresses, contractors, day care providers, camp supervisors, and doggy day campers....yes you read that correctly doggy day campers.

I really feel over whelmed, but in a great way. We got a verbal from the bank that the short sale is ours, and our financing company has also given us a green light. Looks like we are actually getting this house. Whew. That's a relief.

Now life gets crazy, as if the last 2.5 years haven't been crazy enough. I get to move out of this place, get it rented and get the new place remodeled and moved in all by MYSELF. No pressure. Hence all the outsourcing.

I plan on moving the majority of the furniture and decor myself, but I will have to hire movers for the really big stuff. I've found the movers, and they won't break the bank.

I've also worked out daycare for my daughter for days when I need to close, move and clean. I'm thinking the boy will play at a friends. He's so easy, lucky for me I have one easy one.

Waiting to hear from a cleaning lady, I figure I have two houses to clean, and I can use all the help I can get. Carpet folks are on speed dial too.

Landscaper starts this Friday. The dog has done a number on the yard, and the new place is a short sale so both yards need a little work, and weekly maintenance. Funny story about him, his son is Lauren's "boy friend". Yep, the five year old has connections.

Seamstress is working on a few items as we speak, and you know me, I have big plans for her in the very new future. Actually, I have three of them, I'm greedy.

Contractor, check. I've had him for the last 2.5 years, I just can't wait to do the walk thru with him and see what plans he comes up with. The basement is going to be finished and the second floor slightly remodeled right after we close, in the Spring we will be doing the first floor and air conditioning.

Stanley is last by not least, I can't have him living in a kennel while all of this is going on, so I've arranged doggy day care for him. He'll get to play his tushy off while I work mine off. At least we be exhausted together. Small miracle. He's like the energizer Vizsla. lol

Plus the kids are out of school, damn Summer. The will be doing day camp at the rec, and I will be leaving them with friends too. I just have to survive this Summer and before I know it they both will be in school. I'm already tired. I should double up on my caffeine now.

Looky what I painted! Yep, I actually painted.

I'm a glutton for punishment apparently, but I had to paint my bedroom furniture again. I figure third times the charm? I'm over black furniture, all the black has to go. This is a custom mix of Coco, Olive and Graphite ASCP, with dark wax over clear.

The handles are black, with Duck Egg and Gold wax. I custom mixed the Duck Egg paint with the clear wax. Love what you can do with these products.

In my bedroom, until the move. I'm literally moving less than half a block away, staying on the same side of the street even, so I figure I should paint what I can before I move.

I will have more pics to follow, once the second night stand is done. All it needs is wax.

Party On!

I'm ALIVE!!!! Pinky Swear...

2012-05-12T10:28:00.000-07:00

I really can't believe how bad of a blogger I've been lately, really in awe of my 'badness'. Okay so the new me isn't going to make promises any more.

Really I'm not sure what my problem is lately, stress maybe? Probably. Definetely.

So I'm still waiting to hear back from the bank on this house. I love this home too, it's half a block up the street from my current home, on the same side of the street. My kids will get to stay close to all their friends, and I get 1000 more square feet. I call that a WIN WIN! Now come on bank.

I have been getting rid of a lot of stuff lately, purging for the move. I have a ton of stuff to put on craigslist.

I have more than this, but some of it is in my house and I'm using it until we move. I bought all of these items to use in the 'next' house, but that was when the 'next' house was even bigger.

I planned on refinishing all of the pieces, but that isn't gonna happen, I hope they all find good homes. I have some great finds to share with you too.

Excuse the dust, it came like this.

I bought this for my son's room, won't it be a cute nightstand?

Thanks for stopping by and 'Hello' to all my new friends!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful Mommies!!!!

Anything Goes!!!!

2012-05-01T08:42:00.000-07:00

I promise I'm still alive. Just busy. We are under contract for a house, again. It's a short sale, so now we are waiting on the bank. One good thing, we offered over asking so the bank has to let me know something in 30 days, which is May 25th.

Lauren is turning five, so I've been planning her party, and of course Stanley needs a lot of attention. Dang special needs dog. LOL

I'm painting my bed room furniture this week, I promise a sneak peak tomorrow! Party On!!!

Thanks Maury for checking on me, you are the best!

Anything Goes!!!!

2012-04-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

Hey all, busy week, put an offer in on another house! Off to run errands, hubby needs me to mail him some clothes. Yep, no Walmart in Afghanistan. lol Have a good a week.

Party On!!!

Coffee Anyone?

2012-04-19T07:00:00.002-07:00

Coffee table that is. After a little work and some amazing paint here's what my $20 looks like today.

Tape.

Two coats paint. ASCP Old Ochre.

Remove tape. Wax.

Add decor.

Step back and enjoy!

I wish…

2012-04-18T07:23:00.000-07:00

I was my four year old daughter. Well, I wish I had her room when I was her age. If you’ve met my daughter, no one would want to be her, just have her stuff. I love her don’t get me wrong, but she’s difficult, stubborn, strong willed, hard headed, and these are her good days. Did I mention I love her?

Anyway, I bought her some cute stuff for her room recently and I’m totally jealous. T.O.T.A.L.L.Y.

I’m not proud.

Ironstone Pitcher, (did I mention she’s four?) Pink Quartz egg. Ahhhmazing vanity!!!!

Love the wood on this baby, the lines and all her EIGHT legs! Just full of loveliness.

Looks great next to her bed. All I need now is to find the perfect little chair. I wouldn’t dare paint her, but for fun I mixed a custom ASCP to paint the drawers for a fun surprise. Old White, Barcelona and Emperor’s Silk. Not really sure how much of each, but it’s a super cute coral color.

I’ve got a couple plans in the works to revamp her bedding. I hope it turns out like the picture in my head. LOL

Anything Goes!!!!

2012-04-17T06:00:00.002-07:00

First, I'm so sorry the party wasn't up last week, but it was a rough week. I almost lost Stanley. Could you imagine the horror of not waking up to this face every day?

What you can't tell by looking at this adorable face is that, he's a biter. Yep. Mostly it's playful, but he also is a food guarder, and has broken the skin over food. I've talked to a behaviourist and the breeder. I'm working with him everyday to get him to be the amazing member of the family I know he has the potential to be.

Long, slow road. Upside, I'm actually getting some exercise.

Any way, on to the fun stuff, Highligts from last week and the PARTY!!!!

Thanks for the support and friendship.

Highlights.

Happy Tuesday!

I See Changes in my Future….

2012-04-16T08:00:00.001-07:00

Color changes that is. I’ve fallen pretty hard for a color I never thought was me. Boy was I wrong. It’s SO me. The only problem is figuring out how to decorate with it, without my house looking like a giant Orange Sicle.

If you’ve guessed Barcelona, then you are RIGHT! I L.O.V.E. this color, it’s in my top 10 for sure.

I really just wanted to try it out and see how I felt about it. I have this old carpenters tool box, and I thought I would add some color to it. I’m so glad I did. I see a lot of big changes in the next house. I’m thinking lots of Duck Egg and Barcelona.

Have you tried any colors lately that you didn’t think you would like, but ended up loving? Please Share.

Bad Blogger Award….

2012-04-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

I totally deserve this award if it exists. I know I’ve been missing in action, and I didn’t even put my party up last week. Shame on ME!

Well I’m back now and I actually have a lot to share, one post at a time.

Today I’m sharing my first attempt at dry brushing. I wasn’t sure how it was gonna turn out at first but, I love it. I want to dry brush everything now, well almost.

Chair before.

Chair after. Old Ochre, by Annie Sloan.

A few close ups.

So, yea or nah? Let me know what you think. I’ll be working on the other chair this week. Well fingers crossed.

I Put a Bird on it!

2012-04-05T12:10:00.000-07:00

When in doubt put a bird on it. Birds make everything better. ASCP doesn’t hurt either.

I went to Hobby Lobby, and bought this adorable stencil. Actually I bought two, but you have to wait to see what I did with that on. bwahahah…that’s my evil laugh, convincing?

ASCP, Old White.

Close up.

Fake plants for cloche. That’s about as original as I was feeling.

So what do you think? Pretty easy, affordable and cute.

Anything Goes #63

2012-04-03T09:07:00.004-07:00

Hey friends, hope all is well. The party is getting a late start, but you aren’t surprised. Sorry late has become the normal around here. Just ask my kids, the boy was late to school today. His driver isn’t that punctual. Oh yeah, I’m his driver.

My mil is vising right now so that is this weeks excuse for being late, and for not having any highlights.

Please party your hearts out and spread the word. I have a project to share with you tomorrow. I’ve actually gotten a few things started/done and I got some cute stuff for the girls room, you know the one I made under?

Un, Deaux, Trois

2012-04-02T06:00:00.002-07:00

No Really. DEAUX! lol I get to live with this error forever. I’m not even gonna try to fix it. I’m over the fixing of this piece actually. Beyond OVER!

I painted it chateaux grey and then decided it was missing something, so my bestie printed out Un DEAUX Trois so I could stencil it. Lucky for her I still LOVE her! lol

In the beginning…

Better but boring…

After, if only I had spell checked…

Any mistakes you’ve decided to live with?

What I’m Loving Right Now….

2012-04-01T10:44:00.005-07:00

You would think this list would be a mile long, but it’s only half a mile…I have to pace myself. Really, I have to learn moderation, hmmm, it’ll probably be easier to teach my dog not to bite. That’s a whole other post in the making.

I know you know I’m desperately searching for the ‘next house’, and every time I put in an offer I start decorating it in my head. I’ve actually found the ‘next offer’, who knows if it’ll be the next house. With my luck it’s just wishful thinking.

Ava Tufted Sleeper Sofa from Urban Outfitters. It would be perfect for the kids play room!

Brass Tiered Pendant Shade, also from Urban Outfitters, can’t you just see two of these hanging over end tables in a formal living room? I can’t stop picturing it.

Garden Party Curtain Tie Back, yep Urban Outfitters. Apparently I have a thing for Urban Outfitters. I pinky swear they haven’t paid me a dime to do this post either. (but if they want my PayPal account I would be happy to give it to them!) I love these tie backs, I can just pictured them in Lauren’s room. So girly.

So there you have it, what I’m loving right now. What are you loving these days?

More Pink and Gold….

2012-03-31T06:00:00.001-07:00

You know me and the gold…lol it’s an addiction. Lucky for me it’s not quite as dangerous and my craigslist or cleaning addiction. They both run me ragged and exhaust my funds.

I was in Lauren’s rom the other day an noticed her little blue basket had been written on, wonder who could have done that? So I painted it.

I have a before picture but you aren’t going to believe this, my extended hard drive is BROKEN again! Yep, good old Stanley knocked it off the counter. It’s not as stressful the second time around. Especially now that I know the Geek Squad can fix it. If then can’t I at least have my other old one, and won’t lose everything. Is this positive thinking or what, I’m not even crying in my ice cream

So here’s the after, sorry about the no before.

Back in place on her desk, it’s kind of a catch all for lip gloss, jewelry and other misc. girly stuff.

I have another fun project to share soon too, as soon as I fix it! Oops. Don’t you hate it when you are almost done with a project and then you mess it up? Yep, me too!

I've jumped on the Flag Wagon....

2012-03-28T06:00:00.003-07:00

That was a terrible pun, huh? Yeah, I know.

I decided that this board I've had on my kitchen table for a while now, was due for some paint.

I thought what could be easier than adding some white paint?

I sanded a bit to distress, easy peasy.

Ta da! Better? Yes/No?

On the flip side, updated to the 'new blogger' and it stinks. Hopefully I can work out the kinks, or may have to switch to something else. Sigh. It's always something!

Testing…1.2.3.

2012-03-28T05:00:00.001-07:00

Ignore this post, I’m just testing my Live Writer. Actually I’m testing to see if I can use it, it’s pretty technical and all. Let’s face it, I’m not tech savvy. I’m not really tech anything. Insert sad face here! lol Fingers crossed this worked and you guys are laughing with me.

Anything Goes #62

2012-03-27T08:41:00.001-07:00

Good morning friends! Happy Tuesday. Spring Break is in full swing here, oh happy day. lol

Please party your hearts out! Last week highlights.

Claiming Our Space

The Junk House

Have a great week!

Hello Spring Break...

2012-03-23T13:19:00.000-07:00

Spring Break just started for my Son, my Daughter has school. She's in Pre K so they don't really get a Spring Break, and since I'm paying for it, she's going!

The last week has been a little rough. My Daughter is ornery, to say the least, but lately she's just been down right awful. I've had to start taking her toys away, and she's been losing privileges left and right. She doesn't get to go to one of her best friend's birthdays and if she keeps it up, she won't be having a party this year. It'll just be family with some presents and cupcakes. I hate to do this, but she has to get under control. I've been making a point to spend a lot of one on one time with her too. She's actually doing much better. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Then Stanley has developed a food guarding/aggression and we almost took him back to the breeder. He bit Lauren again, and again drew blood. He gets one more strike and then he's out. I talked to a behaviour specialist and I've been working with him every day. Again fingers crossed. He's been doing really well, and I hope he continues to do better. I love him and would hate to not have him, but lets face it Lauren is much more important than the dog.

Today the boy and I bonded over having my blood drawn and peeing in a cup. Well, he wasn't there for the cup part, and mostly he hid behind a chair for the blood part. I think he would have rather been in school today. I don't blame him. I have a bad gall bladder, and I guess it's about time I had it out. Sigh.

On a positive note, I'm blogging more this week. I've made a some great finds too.

I found these great embroidered vintage dish towels. Aren't the dogs great?

Pots and Pans

Silver

Cups

Glasses

Plates

Of course now I'm on the hunt for more fun vintage fabrics/linens. I swear I need a 12 step program. My Hubby would agree.

Next week I should have another finished project to share, for now here's a sneak peak!

Have a great weekend!

My NEW Coffee Table

2012-03-22T07:00:00.001-07:00

Just after Hubby went back to Afghanistan, I decided the old coffee table wasn't cutting it. Plus it didn't help that Beefcake spilled coffee on it twice, and it stained the fabric. Okay now you are confused, technically it's a coffee table ottoman.

Please excuse the dog proofed couch in the back ground. lol I have to cover the cushions with sheets so Stanley doesn't scratch the leather. I would have the cushions slip covered, but we may have to sell the couch when we get the next house. I have no idea how my furniture is going to fit. Long story short, I'm using sheets for the time being.

So I want to paint, I haven't really decided on a color yet, but I did buy a couple birds for the metal cloches, and shopped the house for the rest.

Cute trophy bowl and some design books.

Empty cloche, still trying to figure out what to put in this one. Maybe a little plant?

Any suggestions on the color to paint, or what to put in the cloche?

Have a great day!

Tray Table Completed!

2012-03-21T06:24:00.001-07:00

I'm happy to announce that I have completed a project. Whew, about time.

I started on this tray table over a month ago. You are probably asking yourself how she gets anything done when she works this slow. Trust me, I ask myself this all the time.

Recap of what the tray table looked like in the beginning.

And this is what it looks like today. The pefect little end table. All I need now is some cute stuff to put on top of it. Hmmm what to hunt for?

It's painted ASCP Coco, I love this color. Then I traced a stencil on it and painted it with my favorite Martha Stewart Vintage Gold. I heart GOLD!

Sorry I've been missing in action since the last party. The garage sale had me busy for a couple of days and then the kids and dog the rest of the time. lol We've actually had a pretty rough couple of days, but it's working itself out. I'll share more in a day or too.

Here's a sneak peak at a project I'm working on. I've gotten very little done, project wise, but I'm working on it. I have more to share this week.

Highlights from last week:

Thanks for partying! Have a great week, stop by tomorrow to see the rest of my tray table!

Splash Your Walls With Color

2012-03-14T07:38:00.000-07:00

Splash Your Walls With Color

Article submitted by Christina Johnson

Curious to know what the new color trends are for the spring season? If you’re looking to put a new coat of paint on the wall, there are exciting new color trends to use for guidance. The good news: color is in this season. Instead of relying on the safe, neutral palette that many people have followed in previous years, homeowners are not shying away from color.

One of the most popular colors for the spring season is yellow. Yellow has always been a popular choice for bathrooms and kids bedrooms, but this hue is making its way into living spaces and kitchens. Instead of going for a dull yellow color, opt for a brighter palette that will make the walls pop and the room feel lively. Too pale of a yellow shade can make the room feel dry, so be sure to balance the purpose of the room with a suitable match.

Other popular color trends include pastel greens and blues. With the lighter shades of these colors, they won’t make the room feel small or cramped. Both colors are also associated with nature, so they are the perfect way to bring in inspiration from the outdoors. Blue is especially easy to work with, as it’s cool, casual and trendy. Green has reached new heights, as decorators are valuing what this light and crisp color can do for a room. And if you can’t decide, both colors match well together, so feel free to balance out the tones by painting your walls green and working in blue décor.

As refreshing as pastel yellows, blues and greens are, some people feel that these colors are still too bland. If your taste is more eclectic than that, you’re in luck this spring season. Along with a punch of color is a slice of energetic tones such as tangerine and bright pink. These colors are full of character, so you’ll want to use them with caution. In fact, tones that are this lively are referred to as ‘high impact’ colors.

The advantage to using high impact tones is that you won’t have to do much decorating. These bright and vibrant colors will give the space all the personality it needs, so all you have to do is add in a few matching pillows, a simple throw and artwork, while keeping everything else neutral. You can also choose to use tangerine or bright pink for an accent wall, while painting the other three walls a gray or cream color.

Another trend to keep an eye out for is scented paints. You can enjoy the smell of spring year-round with fresh laundry, wildflower and citrus scented paints.

Anything Goes #60

2012-03-13T06:43:00.000-07:00

Party Time!!! Get your party on and have fun. I will have some completed projects to share in a couple day and some AMAZING finds too. Shhh don't tell my hubby. He hates when I find stuff, it costs him money. (lucky for him I'm thrifty! ;p)

Here are a couple features from last week.

Decorating the Dorchester Way

Cloches and Lavender

I hate to cut it short, but I've got to meet my Bestie at the jewelers. I hope to have something lovely to share with you soon!

Party your hearts out, as much of ANYthing you'd like! Thanks! xx

Fan Finds...

2012-03-08T07:00:00.000-08:00

Get it? Fan finds...instead of fun finds...lol Snort. Snort. Yeah yeah, I'm that funny, really.

I found a couple fans and had to share. I think they will look in the next house in my son's room...or in my garage cause I'm totally in denial and there never will be a next house. Sigh.

Bonus, they both work, however they may be dangerous. Little fingers might get caught in them. They won't be allowed to be turned on and I will probably keep them high up on shelf. Either way, they will look cool, and some days I'm all form over function.

Needless to the say the boy child wasn't impressed with his new old fans.
