Loving our Master Suite!

Our master bathroom was one of the first rooms to be done, along with

the master bedroom.  This is how I decorated it for Christmas...nothing

gets spared at Christmas...  :)

Lets go back to the before...

This picture is actually from our main bathroom

but the color was the same in our master bath.

I like to put out fresh bath mats,

so I have a lot on hand.

The blue is the same as the blue

along the tray ceiling in the bedroom.

It actually looks like two different colors, I

guess that just shows how lighting can affect

the undertones of a color.

I bought this picture at VV boutique.  I actually

bought it for the frame ( in living room) but

once I took it out of the frame I realized how

cute the picture was...so I had to find another frame.

The matting in this picture was another super

find! : )

CHINTZ

Haha, yeppers, not cheap but....I just had to

have this! My family thinks it is funny that

I have this jar of soap that

you are not aloud to use but it cost more

then 1 month supply of soap.  No, I can

not be explained! Haaha

Welcome!

So glad you stopped by!



I know there isn't much at our entrance, but it's ours and

I love it... I like to always have a wreath or something on our door.

It seems to make the home a little more welcoming. I usually keep the

Christmas one up until the end of January .

I was so happy that the door was black.....I have wanted a

black door for a while now.

Come on in..

Hmm, you can see our dog under the couch, watching

over the door.  :)

I don't know why but the entance

is what I really love about the house.

That and it just had a really good feel,

which is really important to me.

I am always changing this round table with the

seasons and celebrations.

Again, my dried flowers from Kevin and my chaos ball...its supposed

to bring 'calm' to a space..haha good luck!

Love Fridays

Yeah!  Its almost the weekend!

I was going to start painting the kitchen, but.....lazy!

hahaha, instead I was playing again!

The candle holder-holder that is holding this ordiment is

actually a light fixture from a house we renovated about 6

years ago.  I just love the chippy paint and the size is

perfect. 

 The ordiment came from Chintz in Victoria...

I always go there when I am in Victoria, 

 its my happy place, hmmmm.

This was a thrift store find, I have been told that it was a jar that

 vanilla was sold in. 

I am making some notes as to what I have left

 to do in the dining room and the living room.  But for now I am

 going to keep playing, that's when I have my

 Ah-ha moments....

Have a super weekend!

Hot Chocolate Anyone?

I love chocolate! and Hot Chocolate is amazing....

and you know what goes really good with Hot Chocolate?

Cinnamon buns!

These are the roses from my husband,

I always dry them so I can enjoy them a lot longer.

I love the pink with the brown and cream colors,

that is one of my favorite color combos right now,

as if you couldn't tell.

It's snowing like mad today, perfect excuse to stay in

drink hot chocolate and eat cinnamon buns!

My Chalkboard Platter

I got a great idea from

creeping some blogs, (so many beautiful platters!)

So I went to the thrift store and bought a cheap silver tray,

 

And just a note, this was not a gift to me..lol

So I primed it and painted it with chalkboard spray paint,

and pulled a ribbon through it .

Really cheap...about $10 total for everything AND I

have enough spray paint to do about 4 more...haha.
I let it dry over night and then in my neatest handwriting

I wrote my message to my family....

Cioccolata Calda means Hot Chocolate in Italian.
(gotta love google!)
I am super happy with it and how it has filled the void above

the window so well.

Now when the right curtains jump out at me I

think I will be ready, and of course theres that chandelier,haha.

 Sorry for the dark pictures...

Chocolate and Silver

Okay all of my cupboards are a dark chocolate

wood, a little darker then my dining table.  I don't want to

 paint them...I really do love them.

But

I needed to lighten the feel of the whole space.

I painted the walls with medievel ( a light

creamy/grey/pink color)

I loved the paint chip, but once it was on the walls

it really scared me.

Check out the paint chip above the mantle.

I was even thinking about painting all over again!  YUCK

Who likes to repaint before the paint has had a chance to cure..lol.

 Until yesterday when I started to play...

Now it is finally making sense, hahaha.

Phew, I knew it was there I just had to find it.

Have you ever had that feeling of ...

Arrgg, where was I going with this? lol.

Everything I used I already had.  I just had to use it right.

Isn't that the way it should be...use the

things we love?

Thanks for the encouragement to work with it.

The added chocolate brown has made it all

flow from the kitchen to the dining room.

I'll show more once I am done this project that I

am working on right now.....o the suspense.

Flowers and Candles

Randomness

Candles and Roses, does it get any better then that?

We finished painting the dining room and kitchen...still

not sure if its working for me.

Maybe a soft spot to sit?

I am actually looking at the color swatch on the wall, it is light

but not as much grey/pink undertones.  If you look closely

you can see it on the top right corner of the mantel...lol.

It is a really quite evening, the girls are doing homework, reading and

facebooking...so peaceful right now, I hate to get up and make

dinner, I don't want to disturb the peace...lol.

Hope you had a restful weekend,

Happy monday!
