AN OLD WISH!!!

Since I was a young bride, I have always had a dream of owning my own home. A quaint little house on a city street with a picket fence in front and a wrap-around porch. Well, I'm almost 61 and I guess it's never going to happen to me. It would have been nice though. To be able to do the things to it, that would have made it mine.

I guess we begin to think more about things like this when we get older and feel like time is running out on us. Life goes by so fast. Everything is all in a rush, all the time. One day leads to another, mostly just the same. Until one day you realize that "hey, where has all of it gone?" It's not going to come back either. So you just take one day at a time and share it with those you love and do the best you can to live your life the way God intended...for after all...He is the great provider and he only provides what he knows you can handle........just saying!!!

MAKEOVER PART 1

I have been looking for something to do in my very small bedroom here in the apartment. My room only measures 9.5 X 9.5. I think the first thing I really need to consider is downsizing. My bed is a queen size, so I am in the market for a double size mattress and boxspring ( the thick kind with pillow top if possible). I have already decided on the colors. My base paint is seafoam green from BHG (Walmart). I love it, it is just the right shade. The I will add some blues and browns. The headboard for the bed is in the lower post. I am going to have to turn my closet into much more than a closet for clothing. It is going to have to double as storage space for a lot of other things. Looking into trading my large dresser for a smaller version and maybe getting rid of my sewing center and combining that into my closet area. The closet runs the entire width of the back wall. Here are some before pics. I want the try and document everything as I go along.
Please don't pay any attention to the Christmas quilt on the bed. It was cold here last night. I am really looking forward to getting started. So watch for my posts and keep me in your prayers for a modicum of success.

TIRED OF THE SAME OLD, SAME OLD

Have you ever gotten so tired of the way your decor looks. I hate my bedroom. It is kinda small and has a queen size bed. I am looking for a double with a think pillow top but so far, no go. Anyway, I found a picture of a headboard on Pinterest and fell in love. I am going to do it. I bought some paint ( I know I'm not supposed to T, but I just can't take it anymore. I have got to have some color. So, therefore, I bought a can of paint (Seafoam Green) and I picked up some materials for the headboard and pillows. Found some pillows at the Thrift store $1.50. I am going to re-cover them. I am posting the picture of my future project and a pic of my materials and paint color. Tell me what you think. As I go along I will post may progress. Wish me luck.




Can't make out the color too good in the future picture, but they are beautiful together. I really love the color scheme too. Can't wait to get started.
