Today I've accomplished a little cleaning a little schooling, decorating, ebaying, cooking, and spray painting.
I'll have to tell you I'm worn out.
We're all battling a nasty cold here and I'm trying to stay busy so I don't think about how bad I feel. School was reading and phonics today. That's all.
My good friend over at Miss A La Mode has been helping me with a little decorating and I've almost gotten the guest bath finished.
None of these photos are post processed because, well, I'm just too tired.
But here's a preview, almost finished, photo gallery.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Here's the room I painted blue. Love it. Most do or they hate it. Either is ok. I love it. It's the only blue I have in my house.
My dad made those shelves for me eons ago. I spray painted them. The plate was one of a set of 7 at the thrift store (7 for 1.50). The little basket was .25 cents and the frame (Creative Memories) I already had. The paper in the frame was .35 cents and the pictures I already had. It needs something a little more but I'll find that later. The basket of towels I already owned and the fringe on the two were samples I bought for .78 cents each. The tassel I splurged on for 1.99. Can you say DEAL??
Here's the cabinet in that room to the left of everything you see above. The vase was 7.00 at Wallyworld and I had everything else except the el-cheapo candle inside the not-el-cheapo candle holder.
The room with the sinks or the vanity is brown. Here's a piece I already had and spray painted white. The plate was part of that set for 1.50. The reeds I already had as well as the frames that need to be spray painted something besides gold. Everything else was from the thrift store for .75 or less. I love that bell. It was .25 cents.
Here's the vanity. Across from the cute little shelf. I still have a few things I don't quite like here either but will change them as I find things I love.
Here's my favorite thing of all. This tassle. I paid 3.99 for it. I've got the lamp finished too. It has two blue ribbons around it now.
And I started on the master bath today....
See the Soft Scrub? I actually cleaned the tub today.
Whew!
Hi you - love the new look, but CAROLINA blue??? Can't do it - ever!! Poo antiqued our vanity - black, it looks so good- it's oak, was just the wood look before.....gives it a pop!
I love the lampshade with the tassel. Adorable. We just moved into our newly built house this past weekend. I'm looking forward to thrift hunting soon to add a little something to the rooms; but first, I'm just glad I've found the silverware and my shoes.
Many Blessings,

I love your blue bathroom. You did a great job decorating. I really appreciate a well decorated house, but personally feel a little inept in this area.
I really love the blue!
Oh i found your site while surfing other blogs.
Anyway, I love the blue and the decor. I am not talented in this area but, I want to try and do something to make our bathrooms a little more inviting I like your redecorating alot it's very lovely.
Good Job.
God is unpredictable but consistent. You may not be able to tell what he is doing or why but you can always trust in WHO HE IS. He has your very best interests at heart. He is good. He is God.
