Color works

Sadie, modeling our new rug.

 

Yes, it is shag. And, yes it is gold. Evidently we are quite retro. ha. 

While at my Mom and Dad's for Memorial day, Mom and I whipped out a couple of pillows. That's right, I can now at sewing (to a very limited degree) to my hobbies. Hopefully, my skills will improve with time. It took me 20 minutes to do something that took my Mom a total of 2.

I think it's all starting to come together. Next up- ART! Everything is currently being custom framed so sometime in the next year we might have it all done. Then it will take another 3 years to pay for all of said custom framing. C'est la vie!

Decorating!

Guys, I promise, I took these pictures on Wednesday. I had this blog sort of written.... and then... I got my butt kicked. The hubs and I started P90X this week and Oh. My. Word. It is kicking my butt. I have been in bed by 9:30 every night this week, completely passed out and that darn ab ripper x makes me feel like a rubber band; complete jello. 

Enough of my belly aching. It's good for me to me worn out and jello-y. On to the real, serious matter: Decorating. 

This is our wedding present from John's parents. When you move out of the country for 2 years it tends to delay delivery of large, antique radios. After a couple of good washings with Murphy's Oil soap and a good coat of Old English scratch coat- it's shiny and beautiful again! 

And, the deal of the month- 

Groupon Deal! The only one I have bought- Canvas on Demand! Amazing service too! I picked this picture out for a 16x20 inch canvas. (Purchased for $35) The next day they sent me an email saying that my picture would be better suited to a 16x24 inch canvas and they would make this change with no extra cost! What company does this?? So nice. And, delivery in 2 days.

Today my area rug comes in! Pictures to come!
