A walk thru P-Town
 |
P-Town was decked out for the 4th of July.
The tie-dye shop is an institution of P-town, been there as long as I remember.
Flowers lining a picket fence on Commercial St., and a custom bike with wooden fenders!
We finally did a Whale Watch! I was in awe! I couldn't believe how many we saw (12), and they were SO close and SO HUGE!

Retro Deck Furniture
 |
| Isn't this great? Found it on Craigslist. $300! I thought it was a steal. The woman I bought it from had gotten it from her parents as a wedding gift like 30 years ago, and she only used it, on a covered porch, for about 7 years. It was then moved to the barn, and the cushions to the attic, for storage. She even freshly painted it before listing it. That was worth it for me right there! I've been looking for a set like this for years... |

Dining Chairs
Here is what my dining room looked like with my black windsor chairs. They are really wide, so if you were the one sitting in one of the middle chairs, you could pretty much plan on being stuck there for the duration of dinner. They were also very tall, and I couldn't reach over them to place food, etc. on the table.
So, even though I wasn't really looking to replace them just yet, I found these on Craigslist, and I snapped them up. I'm really happy with them...Now I just have to sell the above.

Updating?
This is my tub 'to be' !
 |
| We're redoing our master bed and bath. The first thing on my list, is to get rid of the jetted tub, and replace it with an old clawfoot. When you say 'updating' most folks think of modernizing, but I'm the opposite. My dream is to own a very old house...but since that is not in the forseeable future, I need to make my house 'feel' old. So anyway, this tub is the starting point for the masterbath redo. While my kids were growing up, we lived in an old house with a clawfoot tub, and no shower, and that worked fine for me, and it's what I want again. (there is another shower in the house). Anyway, things usually take a long time getting done in my house, and even though it can be frustrating, it can be a good thing. It takes me a while to make decisions. especially if it's something I have to live with for a while. Below are images of bathrooms that give me a feeling that I really like...I think it mostly the simplicity. so I'll have to post a picture of my bathroom now (scary thought), so that you can see where I take it. But be patient! |

Livingroom redo
 | |
| Before |
My house, like everyone's elses house, who isn't blessed with unlimited funds, is a work in progress. So here's the story of my living room redo. Two weeks before Christmas 2009, my husband announced that he's 'doin' this room before Christmas. Needless to say, I freaked out...2 weeks before Christmas? And Christmas Eve is at my house! I put up a good fight, but in the end I lost the argument. As my daughter pointed out, I might as well just go with it, at least it would get done. So now he starts moving everything out of this room, into my dining room, which means I can't decorate for the holidays anywhere! Luckily I had the paint colors pretty much figured out. You have to realize that this 're-do' wasn't just painting, it entailed crown molding, and changing all the trim and the baseboards! I did have an idea of what I wanted the room to eventually look like, but hadn't really gotten everything to make it happen. I found the two wing chairs at a tag sale in the fall for $40 each, and they're recliners to boot! I bought a sofa cover, cheap. The coffee table was a flea market find from years ago, that i had given to my daughter,but for lack of room, she gave it back and the armoire in the corner was a freebie. I took down the ceiling fan, and found the chandelier on line, on sale, because the room was in desperate need of lighting. I had decided on the curtains before hand, so I ran to the store only to find I had to order them, because of course, they weren't in stock. So anyway, this is what my living room looked like at Christmas.  | ||||||
