still re-doing...

I am still freshening up my kitchen,
this is my dining room, well actually I guess its an eat in kitchen...

I am changing the pink striped wallpaper...

and the lace curtains..

I have had this look for about ten years, I don't change much.

but I want a simpler, less frou frou look...

so I have had some of that beadboard wallpaper I found at Home Depot on clearance, for over a year...

I have done alot of wallpapering but this paper is different...

thicker, and not smooth so

smoothing it out is harder.

so this is how far I am, I will finish this tonight and tomorrow paint it.

I will let you know how that goes, seems strange that you can paint over it.

fountain...

here is my sweet fountain...

I was filling it up this morning, because my dogs think it is there water dish...

and this little guy was soaking...

he is soooo colorful, I haven't seen one this color here before,

well he has been captured to show Grandpa, then will be returned.

I am joining...

redoing...

Its time for some de-frouing....

I want to de clutter, cut back,

just a few treasures...

more of a romantic farmhouse look, ok, with a little frou...

I am starting in my kitchen where I have a long soffet over the cabinets....

just to much frou frou,

started changing out the hinges...finally found some at a hardware store that was going out of buisness, you don't realize how expensive those are until you need alot of them.

I decided to take everything down and just start all over...

kept the vintage white baskets, some flowers...

one plate that I love...

a couple of linens,

and put them in this great vintage galvanized chicken nest box...

I love it!

I think my husband thought I lost my mind, I know my boys did..hahaha.

I am finishing the hinges and then I am going to do the other soffet.
