I’ve been very busy for the last week or so helping my youngest daughter paint and redecorate her bedroom. While we worked in there…we had to find a place to put all her stuff and guess where it ended up? In my sewing/craft room! So there has been no crafting for me…the room was so full of her things that you could only take a step or two past the doorway. I’m happy to say that I can finally get back in there…and that is a good thing as I have some birthday gifts to finish, a house-warming gift to make, and a surprise for someone special. (Can’t say who it is for because she reads my blog.)
Since I couldn’t get in my sewing room…I decided to do a little redecorating in my living room. Here’s a peek at the shelf above my sofa…not sure yet if this is the way I will keep it.
Hope to get the old windows hang up soon and the antique printers box too. As many of you know, I’ve been changing my style…not really as much as changing my style, but going back towards the style that I had for years. Well…not exactly 100% the same. I’ve been looking through a lot of my books, magazines, and blogs for inspiration. I’m also going to a big flea market this weekend and I hope to find some goodies there too. More pics to share soon.
Back in March…Gina made this for me for my birthday, but when I got it there was Sweet Annie on it and unfortunately I’m allergic to it. So…..My sister took the Sweet Annie off for me and gave the little pillow tuck a bath…and now it is sitting in this old enamel bowl in my kitchen. The bowl has been sitting there empty for years…I think it was just waiting for this little pillow tuck. It looks perfect in there!! Thanks Gina…I love it!!
Well that’s all for now…be back in a few days with some pictures to share. Going out shopping and to lunch today with my sister…it is her birthday. Happy Birthday Vicki…Love ya big sister!!
Until next time….. blessings, Cindy

Your redecorating seems to be coming along and
can hardly wait to see the windows. Love that
little pillow tuck and the perfect place for it!

The shelf behind your sofa looks great! Hope you find some great deals at the market this weekend and have a really great time with your sister Vicki. Tell her happy b-day for us.

Hi Cindy,
I like all your changes..very subtle but they are different.
Sometimes going back to somthing that worked is good…you liked it then and it will be even more pleasing to you now.

It’s fun isn’t it to putze around your home changing things here and there, everything looks great!
Thanks so much Cindy for your prayers, it means so much to me. This is the 2nd day for the eco test and so far no phone calls about the test, keeping my fingers crossed!

I like the shelf with the white pitchers it gives just the right balace of color.
