family room reveal part 3...

Here is the next wall in my family...
here is part 1 and part 2 if you want to see...
these were hard pictures to take because of the lighting, sorry...

I went with some of the off the shelf bamboo blinds from Home Depot, but of course they were 3/4" of an inch to big..(always my luck!) so I got out my trusting clippers and cut them to fit.

I found a big leather ottoman at a furniture discount store, I know it would look good with pretties on it, but all that goes on it is big feet!

then I went to Joannes with my trusty 50% of coupon and bought some white material.

I made sure that it was finished on the edges and sewed me up some drapes.  I needed 95" drapes and to buy them made was really out of the buget, to make four panels it cost me $68...

a beautiful vintage mirror I have had forever...

the next wall is a little half wall, I found an old screen door, perfect for photos, and old pink chippy window frame, and sweet pictures and great flea market plates....

I have one more little half wall that I just found a book case for, that I will show later.

I know its not designer, but its perfect for us to hang out and be together!

A new week!!!

What a weekend...
I was sad...
and cried...

I was happy and soooo proud...

I was mad and dissapointed in some adults...

and was laughing so hard I cried...

lots of emotions this weekend...

but thats part of life!!!

heres to the start of a new week!!!!

pinks by the pond...

I thought I would share some pictures of my pond...it has a old fashioned cottage garden look...

I love my pond, but I would be lying if I told you it was easy...

they are alot of work.

my best advice to you if you are thinking of building one is to pick a spot where it gets mostly shade.

the sun is just too hot and makes algea grow so fast, mine is finally getting lots of shade, the trees are growing and we have a cover over the patio that helps.

hope you enjoyed my pond!
