Master Bedroom ~ Part 2

Hello there!

Is everyone enjoying their week-end?

Ours started off with a snowstorm on Friday

but luckily it only started late afternoon

so I got to have a lazy morning

then out to run my errands

and cozied up on the couch for the night

Trev spent most of Saturday shoveling

while I painted the bedroom

this is a shot of our next door neighbor

so you can see how truly crazy 

the winter has been!

Cathy stands about 5'-6"

so that will give you an idea on how high the snowbanks are

around here...

and we still have the month of March

honestly I do not know where we will put any more!

So today I will do a bit of a reveal

because it is not totally done

curtains are not yet made

my photo project is not complete

and we still need to get a new light fixture

then the flooring will be done in the spring....

So this is the before picture:

and here is how it looks today:

the headboard turned out really well

as it went from this 

to this

the wall color is a rich mocha

although the pictures really do not show

how nice it really is

I am really pleased on how it turned out

and I am a little excited

thus the reveal before it is totally finished.

I have veggies roasting in the oven

and the popcorn is ready for tonight

I cannot wait to watch the red carpet show

for the Oscars.

Enjoy your Sunday

and I will see you this week.

Friday Potpourri

Well hello again

it's Friday and that means 

it is time for some pretty

like a cherry on top of a sundae

after a long week

Cosmos have me wishing for summer and warmer weather

love this one

snowdrops are the first true sign of spring

along with crocus

mind you ~ I will not see my flower bed out front

until at least mid April

if I am lucky

still in my knit mode

have to stay cozy

Trish posted this one last week

and I love it!

nesting makes me think of 

comfort food

and what is more comforting than

a home made pie

so I am off today
and trying to figure out
do I take the day for me
or
do I run errands ~ do some shopping
prep the bedroom for painting

decisions ~ decisions

Lou posted this one

and it spoke to me

this one reminds me of my childhood
of days spent in the woods with my Dad
I love it.

Wishing you all a wonderful week-end

February is Heart Stroke month

it is a cause that is close to my heart

The Heart Truth

is a campaign meant to raise awareness
