finished painting....and advice...

Well I finally finished painting my family room!!! hooray!!!
so I will start revealing one wall on fridays...and any suggestions is fine with me...I decided to stop drooling over everyones space and just go with what makes me happy, and being a family room, its used alot and needs to be functional and I need to keep the furniture and entertainment center that I had...


so this is my color palette, all of my favorite shades...


here is what I have so far, I did the faux wainscoting on the bottom and painted it moon white by Beher, the top was so hard, I had so many swatches and samples, but finally chose Benjamin Moores Healing Aloe, I love it, really soft and soothing.
the faux fireplace had to stay, well because it really works in the winter...hahaha.
I had an old mirror that I just propped up, dont like the reflection of the fan, but love the mirror, then there is Herbie, my husbands first deer, who has been in every house we have ever lived in!!!
 as you can see in the reflection, I don't have curtains up yet, I have decided to sew some to save money...


I love all my assesories on the mantle, but mantles are hard so I don't know if I should switch it up..
any suggestions?





I forgot I had these glass knobs, had them in a bag in the cuboard...


I found these gorgeous shelves made from antique tin on Ebay...my splurge,
just put a couple things up so far...



well there it is one wall, I am still rearanging funiture so I will snap a photo of the whole wall when I do that.
so what do you think?
any suggestions?

fresh picked...

What a beautiful morning...


thought I would pick some gorgeous roses...


and put them in the best vases ever made!!!!


now I know your going to ask me what kind of roses are these?


well if you have been a follower for awhile, you have noticed I am not an educated gardener...


I am more of a ..."oh, thats pretty must have it"...or "ooooo, thats a good price"
well this is one of those, there is a nusery way out in the country that I go to, and about five years ago I found these beauties, had to have them, so I bought six...hahaha, yes I do have a problem...
anyway, no tags...and the people who own it don't speak english.
but at $7.95 a bush, I didn't care what they are called,
just instant love!!!!!
and I have gone out there every year looking to see if they have more, and no luck.


ahhhhh, perfection!!!!

limited...

oh, I am a girl with limited intrests!!!!
I am in love with soft pink and roses...


this is one of my climbing roses...


funny story is, I didn't choose a climber...


one of my friends had a catalog and said she had a friend who grows roses for nurseries and we could order some wholesale, just pick the picture and place the order...


so I picked ten and when we got them bareroot, no tags,
but oh, well I just planted them and got suprises...


I was so lucky that all of them were pink!!!!!
