My Bedding Addiction!




Well, my sewing machine is being repaired so........... I can't start my slipcovering project for a couple of days, such a bummer. But I have gotten to do a few other things like get some new bed linens. I just love switching out linens every once in a while, my hubby doesn't apppreciate this little hobby as much as I do. In these winter months when I am sooo bored what else is there to do?? New floral sheets and a taupe quilt, LOVE ! I also got 3 fabulous down filled Euro style pillows and shams all at Marshalls, I could go there everyday and never leave empty handed. Don't worry Eddie, I won't.

Dining Room Makeover (Before)


Well, the holidays are finally over and our house is back to normal. My New Years Resolution is "to be more consistent" so I have been exercising each morning after the kids go to school and I made a list of chores for myself. I have started cleaning out closets and other odd assorted chores. The Loft is closed (where I work) this whole month and the weather is terrible outside so I have the time to get some things done. I am very close to completing my to do list. Cooper is sick this week, with a tummy virus, so I have been slightly unmotivated to do any major task, but today is the day. Uncle Marvin is coming over to help me repair my six Napoleon Style dining chairs, they are a little rickety, he is going to fix them up so I can finally slipcover them and give my guests a comfy place to sit. Also, Eddie and I are going to Pt. Pleasant to the Antique Shops this weekend and we will try and find some other items to "Shabby" up my dining room. This is a photo of the dining room now,the hutch in the backround will get made-over this spring. I will post a pic after I get it all prettied up.
