TREASURES...

Everything happens for a reason...

2012-01-02T20:00:00.000-08:00

It all started Thursday before new years eve. I was suffering from a fever and an upper respiratory infection that was certainly getting the better of me.

Final score: ANGIE 0 / U.R.I. 1

It definitely had the home-field advantage.

Friday wasn't going any better for me and it was looking like we weren't going to be ringing in the new year at any parties. Finally the day came and I was feeling well enough to join the festivities at the Nelson family who happen to live up the street from us (makes driving home on New Years Eve soooo much safer).

We started off the night by Mr. Treasures showing off his mad pizza skills...

And ended the night with celebratory horn blowing and silly string fight...

But It was the middle part that dictated the title of this blog post. Some where in the middle of this amazing friend filled evening I met Lori.

Lori is a fellow furniture fan who once upon a time owned her own store here in town. She has an eye for design and also worked for many years as an event planner locally.

If I am being honest, we met briefly a week before but it was late at night and only casual hellos were exchanged.

It was on this night, the night of endless possibilities, that Lori started to tell me her vision for 2012.
Actually, she started to tell me my vision for 2012.

We spent the rest of the night scheming, plotting, pinteresting ( how long before this will be a word in the dictionary?) and browsing past projects.

At one point Mr. Treasures even joked " I think you found your soul mate".

Lori's enthusiasm was in full force, something I've needed more of for quite some time.

Before parting ways at 12:01 January 1st, we exchanged phone numbers. The afternoon of January 1st, she had already joined Treasures Facebook page (All My Treasures) and sent me a text wanting to go treasure hunting.

I had just sat down to watch a movie with Lil' Red so I could not partake, but made plans for the following day.

Somehow in the excitement of all things new, extra time with my kiddos and medication for the previously discussed chest cold, I managed to forget our plans.

Around noon today I saw the text that Lori had sent several hours earlier, reminding me of our treasure hunting plans. Sadly at that point I was knee deep in supervising "The Great Backyard Cleanup of 2012".

As I began making new plans (that will not be broken promise Lori!!) her enthusiasm became infectious.

For the first time in a very long time, I painted.

And while I waited for the first coat to dry, I decided to see how the new knobs would look....

Aren't these "Pull" knobs cute?!

I still need to paint the second coat, add a little black to the inset of the drawer fronts and distress the whole piece but I'm liking it so far.

The best part? While adding the knob I found something written on the inside....

Money.

I am finally out of my funk and 2012 is looking pretty bright.

Thank you Lori. I am really looking forward to our business venture.

Yep, everything happens for a reason.

Angie

P.S. The desk was previously owned by a friend of my M.I.L's. She sold it to me for $10.00. What her friend probably doesn't know is that I had to steal it from my M.I.L. after I bought it. HA!

Anyhow, the desk is going in Lil' Red's already very colorful room. I asked the FB Treasure fans to vote on white or black.

I'll give you three guesses which color won.

P.S.S. Here's a before photo in case you are interested.

I'm Still Here....

2011-11-23T18:28:00.000-08:00

Hello all!!

  I've really missed blogging and chatting with everyone!! I've also missed working on projects but sadly life has been a little too hectic and my creativity has been a little too nonexistent.... Same story, different day right??

Well- here's hoping it changes soon!

   In the meantime, I am thankful for my family, our home and our health and am looking forward to spending lots of time with them the next couple of days. I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving with your family!!

  I am lucky enough to have never and I do mean never cooked a turkey or hosted Thanksgiving so I do not have a table setting of my own to share. Instead of leaving you high and dry I decided to share with you My Sweet Savannah's set up. You'll love it, promise!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Ah-mazing....

2011-10-30T20:17:00.000-07:00

Do you know Edie from Life in Grace? She lost everything material in a house fire. They have been rebuilding for quite a while now. I'm sure you know the story but just in case you don't, start by going here and check out the Ah-mazing kitchen she now calls her own. I would never really want to experience the fear and devastation she did- but I am a tad jealous of the new kitchen :)

P.S. Happy Halloween!!!

Still looking for my mojo....

2011-09-25T09:52:00.000-07:00

I tried painting a little last weekend which was a nice change from my normal as of late, uninspired weekends. (If you follow along on the fan page you got to see the sneak peek photo) That being said, it was still a bit of a creative effort rather than a creative flow. It has a lot to do with time, energy and $$$ but it could also be a bit of a creative block based on my surroundings. Which is why I plan to spend some time today following Miss Mustard Seed's organizational advice. My painting space, aka the garage is still packed to the rim and in disarray, even after unloading 80% of my inventory. I would show you a photo but it really is that bad and without an "after" to accompany it, I'm afraid your opinion of me would change. So for now you will have to use your imagination. I am on a bit of a time crunch since I've already agreed to host a Treasures sale on November 12th. Which is a good thing. For starters, it will hold me accountable (which I seem to need lately) and the money from the sale will help finish Operation Game Room. Which is oh so close to being complete!!

This doesn't have anything to do with this post but I found it strangely enough while blog "stalking" and thought it was an amazing inexpensive idea. Something I definitely want to try!! Check it out on Design Stocker!

Have you heard?

2011-09-12T09:00:00.000-07:00

It looks like Hobby Lobby is coming to California!! If you are like me, you have heard about this great store on many of your east coast blogging buddies sites and dreamed about being able to rummage through this great store for fabulous deals (I'm not alone on this one- right?)

I work in the Commercial Real Estate industry and was doing my usual prospecting research online when I stumbled across this article about Hobby Lobby and their expansion. Best part for me? One of their new locations will be less than 5 minutes from my work. That's going to perk up my lunch time routine for sure!!

Can't wait!

Angie

Time for a change.

Well said.....

Revival Home & Garden

The Game Room is on it's way...

2011-06-27T22:39:00.000-07:00

Our game room/ wanna be craft room has been stagnant for quite some time now. Between my multiple decor personalities, lack of time and of course there is always that budget thing, not much has gone on in this room. When we first purchased the home in late 2007 it looked like this....

I was feeling very "Tuscan" in 2007 so before long it looked like this..

(Try not to be distracted by the Lil' Man and his buddies rockin' out)

I'd love to show you a staged photo of what the room looked like but I never thought to take one B.B.
That's "Before Blogging"

These next photos are the closest your going to get.

A little vignette on my old desk showing some of my thrift store finds.

A shot of our video game area. Even though the color looks horrid in this photo it was perfect for the Tuscan look and appeared much nicer in person.

This was my little craft corner. I loved the way it looked but it wasn't enough storage.

Well since then the room has survived quite a few of my "color of the moment" phases.

And so has Mr. Treasures.

We finally settled on a cream color for the walls and hung the Cost Plus curtains!

The red hutch now sits between the windows where my desk once was.

(still need to hang the second set of cost plus curtains)

If you follow along on facebook you'll know that this is the 5'8' Jute rug from Cost Plus World Market that was originally $149.00 marked down to $45.00. If that wasn't good enough? The always friendly Mr. Treasures managed to get another $10.00 off! We can put that towards the pile of bills you see in the photo! HA!!

Along the other wall is a Sidewalk Sunday special....

That will soon hold wicker baskets full of crafty goodness similar to this photo

from Atlanta Homes by Erica George Dines

Did you see the HUGE bubble gum machine?

We scored that from Grandpa Treasures. Just need to fill 'er up!

Yep, It is safe to say that the Game Room is on it's way.

Time to announce the winner!!

2011-06-12T10:29:00.000-07:00

I excluded myself, my mother and of course the Author of the book Tracie from Connor's Gift, then I gave everyone left a number. I asked Lil' Man "Quick, pick a number between 1 and 8." He said "6, why?" I told him, "You just decided who was going to be lucky enough to get a free copy of Connor's Gift!"

Lucky number 6 is.......

Kristin from Bringing Pretty Back!!

LOVE her blog!!

If you are not familiar with it, you MUST go there now!!
She has an amazing way of reminding us how to conduct ourselves as Women.

For those of you who did not win, you can go here and purchase your very own copy for $16.95 plus shipping.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and follow Connor's Gift on Facebook.

I really appreciate it and I know Tracie and her family does as well.

Don't forget there is a button on my sidebar.

Spread the word!!

Angie

How about a little summer reading?

2011-06-05T10:32:00.000-07:00

Today I want to share with you Connor's Gift.

This is a book written by an amazing woman Tracie, whom I am lucky enough to call family.

Tracie at our Annual Mother's Day Tea Party

Even better than that?

It's written about her beautiful son,

Connor

This amazing book sold out on Amazon at least once that I know of!

Here is what someone had to say about the book

(The Forward correct?)

"Connor's Gift introduces the world to a very special boy and the family who love him. He is at once funny, charming, silly and sweet, and can also be a challenge that most would wish to avoid.

Until you've met this dynamic and very special boy, you cannot know what life with an autistic child is like in this New Age. And that is what makes Connor's Gift such an outstanding read."

I decided to give one away so someone else could enjoy the Carlos Family journey.

Even if you don't know anyone with Autism in their life, this is an amazing, inspirational story that everyone can enjoy.

If you would like to be entered into the drawing, here's what I would like you to do..

Stop by Connor's Gift Facebook page and say a quick hello. Even better, "Like" it!

I would love it if you could help spread the word about this amazing book as well!

I've included a button at the top of my side bar for you to use if you'd like to help out.

And last but not least, leave me a comment!

Let me know, do you know anyone with Autism?

I would love to leave the drawing open until Connor's birthday which happens to be the same as Lil' Man's, but I'm too excited for you to start reading this amazing book- so waiting until July 31st is just too long!

How about we give it until....

June 12th

"I am here, and I will wait for you to put aside all your preconceived notions until you absolutely fall in love with me; and when you do, you will be loving YOU."

Angie

Gearing up for a.....

2011-05-28T12:46:00.000-07:00

Treasures is gearing up for a HUGE sale but before I announce the date I want to see if anyone out there with handmade items wanted to participate?

Jewelry, pillows, etc. you don't need to be local!

Contact me and we can work out the details.

I'm also looking to purchase wholesale- let me know if you are interested!!

Angie

P.S. photo found here

A little peek...

2011-05-16T14:13:00.000-07:00

Here's a small peek at what I've been up to lately...

First up was the trout release program at Lil' Red's school. They raised them from eggs till it was time to release them. More on that to come.

Then there was our first crack at homemade doughnuts.

Ummm it might be our last crack at it as well.

There was a little painting for both Lil' Red and I.

Along with a little gardening. Very excited for our Dwarf Lemon tree but I see we already have little critters!!

Also shopping for pillows and paint for this area as well as trying to talk myself into painting the 3 sets of French doors and 3 fixed windows.

So far, I'm not doing a very good job at it.

If you're wondering why there is no mention of the Lil' Man, well that's because he's almost 13 and unless I pin him down, I'm finding it very hard to keep him around!!!

What have you been up to??

Angie

Sidewalk Sunday

2011-05-01T18:28:00.000-07:00

There was a HUGE local yard sale event happening in our town this weekend. There were over a 100 homes participating and in the best downtown neighborhoods, dripping with charm.

So it wasn't a big deal that I didn't find anything to buy. I still got the chance to get up close and personal with homes I normally admire from my driver side window at a speed of 35 (okay maybe more).

Think I remembered to bring my camera and share them with you?

Of course not!

That will have to be another trip, perhaps the Vintage home tour that will be taking place in May!!!?!

I was a little disappointed at what was offered. It was either clothes or furniture with ridiculous price tags.

That's why, when we made a wrong turn and noticed a woman standing next to THE perfect chairs for Lil' Man's room, we didn't even stop.

That is, until she waived at us to come back.

Curious, we turned around and pulled up just as she was pinning the "FREE" sign on them.

Now, they need to be recovered of course, and in case you're counting, that makes 5 chairs and I haven't a sewing bone in my body.

This SHOULD be interesting!

Angie

Be Back Soon! I Promise!

2011-04-27T20:00:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post!?

Lil' Red managed to get the Mission done on time complete with an A from the Teacher!
(Speaking of Teacher- It's Teacher Appreciation Week in a couple of days, isn't it???)

There just isn't enough hours in a day.

Be back soon! I promise!

(Just in case you forgot what I look like)

A Mission, A Dinner and the Modeling Clay...

2011-03-21T21:34:00.000-07:00

The dreaded 4th grade Mission project.

The deadline is drawing near all the while my dinning room table is being held hostage to the bits and pieces that we hope will soon resemble the grounds of the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

Only one problem, the clay that Mr. Treasures and Lil' Red picked up for the project NEVER hardens.
Yep, just like it says on the package.

I haven't had a chance to pick up any other kind of clay nor do I have flour (that would mean I bake) in the house in order to make our own. So we have $20.00 worth of clay, with NO use for it.

Tonight, while eating dinner (at the other half of the table not being consumed by the project) I asked the kids about their day. Lil' Man started to tell me about wood shop class and how his teacher finally operated one of the machines today instead of talking nonstop about his travels around the world. He then began to tell me about his P.E. teacher who is obsessed with everyone "suiting up" and his dreaded English class.

As he was talking, I began to play with a piece of the clay, rolling it the way you'd roll a map. The end of it resembled a cinnamon roll. I showed the kids and they laughed.
Now, it was Lil' Red's turn to tell me about the mean 5th grader who had a date with Karma. It was a tether ball match up that appeared to be lopsided. On one side Lil' Red's friend, a very meek, soft spoken girl - on the other, the Meany.

By some cosmic payback to all that have been pushed around, the tether ball came off the pole, flew up in the air and managed to come down right on top of the mean girls head. I asked Lil' Red, "Do you know what that is?" she answered "Yep, Karma."

Now of course I didn't stop there, we talked about what might be going on in mean girls life that would cause her to behave that way. We also talked about ways to handle any situation that might involve mean girls.

By this time, I had rolled the clay into what looked like the handset part of an old telephone. I held it up to my ear and said "hello" again, everyone laughed.

Mr. Treasures said "What can you make out of it?" and just like that we found a use for the clay.

Lil' Man took the receiver part of my phone and came up with this

While Lil' Red was hard at work on her laptop

Mr. Treasures was working on his Football

Think someone might miss football season this year??

Next was a cell phone

Followed up with a computer

complete with mouse and keyboard no less!

There was a penguin,

and an airplane

(Momma needs a vacation)

This went on for the rest of the evening.

I think it might have been the best dinner I've ever had.

An Interview With Lil' Red

2011-03-15T17:57:00.000-07:00

Sorry I didn't post this earlier!! I decided to FINALLY work out last night and let me tell you, THAT took all my effort!!

Better late than never right?

If you missed yesterdays Makeover Monday, you'll want to start there!

Otherwise, here's the quick interview from a soon to be 10 year old and her outlook on "Living Creatively"

Q) What made you decide to paint your clubhouse?

A) What made me decide to paint it is that I want it to be a cool place to hang out and not be a dirty old thing in the back yard. (I'm thinking we need to take better care of the backyard, how about you?)

Q) Can you tell us why you chose the colors you did?

A) I chose those colors because they are cool, funky and fun so it won't be boring in there.
(Great reason. Who wants to be somewhere boring? Not me!)

Q) What do you think "Live Creatively" means?

A) I think live creatively means to just have fun and to do things that you've never done.
(Can you imagine how great life would be if we didn't forget this as we grew up?)

Q) What are other ways you can be creative in life besides crafts?

A) I'm creative at school doing things my own ways. (explains a lot) I'm also creative the way I dress or when I play games.

Q) Pick 3 words to describe yourself.

A) Three words to describe myself would be cool, athletic and weird.
(I love that she views being "weird" as a good thing)

Lil' Red really enjoyed answering these questions so I might have to do something like this more often.
In fact I think it is a "creative" way to interact with your children!

Thanks for taking the time to find out more about Lil' Red. She's definitely a character!

Angie

Makeover Monday...

2011-03-14T06:00:00.000-07:00

Today's Makeover Monday is a special one. Lil' Red came to me a few weeks ago and asked...

"If I clean and take really good care of the club house, can I paint it?"

Now, for others, this might warrant the same enthusiasm given the choice between PB & J or Turkey sandwich for lunch.

But for me?

This was the best thing ever! She was able to see "outside" the box.

She believed in her self and she knew she could make it better!

And above all, she felt creativity and acted on it.

Dramatic?

Maybe just a tad, but outside of blogland, I see creativity squashed all around us.

Young or old, I rarely see it nurtured.

So of course my answer was "Yes!"

She stuck to her word and cleaned the entire club house
(never mind the fact that it took her approximately 40 swiffers and a bottle of pledge)

Thus the Clubhouse Makeover began!

She brought her supplies up...

Opened them up...

And got started...

She choose to do one wall in 2 shades of blue..

Another in pink and red, while the third in pink and blue....

And the last wall in a variation of all shades...

How fun is that??

She and her friends are so excited for the clubhouse makeover!

Now that the paint is almost done, they are on the look out for bean bags and floor pillows.

Something tells me I'll be getting hit up for an allowance soon!!

Angie

P.S.- I was so proud of her that I wanted to give her a chance to talk about her "creative" process during the club house makeover. Stop by tomorrow to see my interview with Lil' Red!

Treasure Thursday!

2011-03-09T22:13:00.000-08:00

It's late so I need to keep this short. I haven't had the time, money or energy to do a lot of Treasure hunting lately. Which is disappointing to say the least. It certainly feeds my soul in only a way a fellow junker can relate.

Since I'm not able to get out, I've really enjoyed taking part in Leslie's 31 day challenge. If you don't know about it, stop by here and check it out at Words of Me. It's not to late to start!!

On to the latest Treasure....

Mr. Treasures is the one who spotted this baby on the morning we were headed to Tracy Porter's store.
I fell in love with the shape and at $15.00 I couldn't even bring myself to haggle! I have NO idea when I'll actually get around to having it covered in new fabric so for the time being here's how she'll stay....

Don't you just love her curves???

I know I do.

Decorating Tips from The Inspired Room

2011-02-27T10:25:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I've posted anything??? We are still in limbo over here at the Treasure's Household which makes it difficult to concentrate on anything other than our current situation. Fingers crossed we've got the one person at BofA that's not an idiot working for us. Anyhow, I figured I'd better give you guys a little something to hold you over before you start dropping like flies!! ;)

Stop by The Inspired Room to see her take and tips on Anthropolgie style decorating. Her post was from a year ago but it still rings true today. Enjoy!

A Lil' Valentine and a Makeover..

2011-02-13T18:29:00.000-08:00

Do you celebrate V-day?

The older I get the sillier I think it is.

Mostly because in my younger days, I placed far to much importance on this day.

No one could live up to the expectations I placed on it!

Now we just do a little something and call it a day. So on that note.....

Now for the Makeover. Remember this little lady Hope?

If not, you can read about her here. I couldn't make up my mind on what color to paint her so I decided to take a vote. The majority vote went to this.....

which I had every intention of painting. That is, until Mr. Treasures said....

"You know, after seeing Tracy's shop, I want to paint that hutch red"

Now how can I possibly say no to that??

It's completely a coincidence that Hope is making her debut on Valentine's Day!

We're currently debating, should we rough her up or maybe slap a little glaze on her?

Or maybe we'll leave her alone. She really looks great. Oh and yes we are painting the room again!!!
As hard as I tried, I couldn't live with the greay.

Yes, I realize it's spelled incorrectly. Since I never know, is it grey or gray?
I've decided to just add them both.

Here's another look at her with her "jewelry" back on...

Oh and I almost forgot, Happy Valentine's Day to me....

My new curtains are going to look fanTASTIC!!

Angie

WHAT?

2011-02-08T18:41:00.000-08:00

Makeover Monday on a Tuesday?

A Tuesday evening no less!!

I told you yesterday, Tracy trumps all!

Anyhow, not sure if you remember this piece or not?

I picked it up from Goodwill over 6 months ago for $19.99. I blogged about it but for some reason I can't seem to track down the original post.

Anyhow, one of my goals for 2011 was to paint at LEAST one piece of furniture a month. Sounds easy enough but I hadn't been able to dedicate any time to it previously.

Since I had an extra pep in my step thanks to my surprise visit to Tracy's on Saturday, I decided Sunday morning that I would get started on a project.

No matter how big or small. I went hunting through the garage and discovered this dresser all over again!

As I started taking survey as to what I'd need to fix her up I noticed that every......

single....

drawer.....

had different contact paper and one of them even came complete with....

a dead cricket. See him in the top right corner?

Surprisingly the paper peeled right off without any problems and in no time she was sanded and ready to paint.

AGAIN with the sideways photos!!! I can't wait till I get my computer back!

Here's a better look at it....

I LOVE the way it turned out!

Now I just need to accessorize and start my gallery wall!!

Since that piece was such a breeze and really my first piece of 2011, I decided I'd go for two in one month!!

Next up? Remember Hope ?? You all voted for Kelly Green with a little chocolate glaze. So look for her soon!!

Angie

Two Words.....

2011-02-07T09:15:00.000-08:00

TRACY PORTER!!!!!

Have I mentioned before how amazing Mr. Treasures is????

If not, let me go on the record now and tell you...

He IS.

You see he woke me up early Saturday morning, picked out my outfit and said "Let's go"

Next thing I know we are on our way to Santa Barbara to go to Tracy Porter's STORE!!!

I was so excited I could barely contain myself during the 2 hour drive!!

The thought of being able to just take in all that lusciousness in person???

WHAT could be any better??

Oh I don't know, maybe......

MEETING Robyn?!?! Who by the way has to be THE nicest woman I've EVER met. She let me drool and make a fool of myself the entire time I was there. Happy to oblige in my Tracy Porter madness. Not only did she let me take photos of everything, she even told me she was having dinner with Tracy that night and would tell her I said hello. Such a sweetheart!!

As for the store?? A-MA-ZING!!!! It oozed with character and charm.

I was so caught up in my own personal heaven that I actually had to remind myself to take photos.

These simply will NOT do it justice but here's a couple of shots I managed to pull myself together and take.

Sorry about the photos!?! I've rotated them and saved them but for some reason they still load this way?? I'm just to excited to share this post to sit here and figure out what the problem might be!!

And what the hell, even sideways these photos are gorgeous! ;) If you are ever able to make the trip out to Tracy's store I highly recommend you do! And when you're there, tell Robyn I said hello!!

Stop back by tomorrow for a Monday Makeover post!

Yes I know it will be Tuesday but Tracy trumps all.

Angie

P.S. almost forgot to tell you about the gorgeous blouse I got for only $60!! Photos to come soon!

Update

2011-02-03T18:55:00.000-08:00

I wanted to stop in and give you a quick update.

We finally got a hold of someone at BofA with a brain!!!

He agreed that our case was not handled correctly and stopped the sale.

AMEN!!

Now we have to start this process all over again.

At least this time we will only deal with this gentleman in the "Escalation Dept"

With the good news, I decided a little retail therapy was in order.

Say hello to my new pillows....

My camera battery was dead so I had to use my cell. Not to worry though, you'll be seeing this pillow and it's twin in future posts!!

I also took a ton of "Lunch time inspiration" photos!! I'll be uploading those to the facebook fan page tomorrow! Make sure you visit the page to see!!

Before I go I want to say a HUGE thank you for those of you who've left comments, said a prayer and have been so supportive.

Thank you!

Angie

M.I.A.

2011-01-29T11:45:00.000-08:00

The Treasures household has been a chaotic place to be the last couple of months. We are always trying to adjust to this new life we have and as soon as it seems we have a handle on it, there is some sort of surprise.

And I'm not talking about the.....

good kind.

The latest battle has been trying to speak with someone at Bank of America (who actually went to high school) about their mistake in regards to our modification. It's quite a long story that I don't feel like telling right now but it boils down to a HUGE screw up on their part that might actually cost us our home on Wednesday February 2nd.

So I might be posting even less (if you can imagine that) than I already am for a little while.

Thank you for following Treasures. I appreciate everyone of you.

Angie

Well..

2011-01-17T13:06:00.000-08:00

I was really hoping for a grand makeover Monday post but I just wasn't able to pull it all together in time. I give myself an A for effort though!

And since I'm grading myself, how about an A for budget savvy,

but then there is that C- for meeting self imposed deadlines.

If you've been following along on facebook (which you do! right???)

Then you know that I have been working on a make over for Lil' Red's room.

Let's take a look...

Here's a close up of the bed detail..

It's an actual antique that I scored off of craigslist about 3 years ago for $100.00

Here's a view looking from her closet...

Ignore the hideous red chairs on the left. They will be recovered shortly.

After gathering information on paying someone to cover them as well as the price of the materials I liked,

I decided that we are going to go a different route and I'll be trying to cover them myself.

I'm thinking...

I'll make a white slipcover and use the flat sheet to add a little detail? Then just add the black pillow from Ikea and call it a day!

Your thoughts??

The room still has a long way to go! We need curtains, lamps, wall art and a rug but for now....

Lil' Red is quite happy with it!

Here's a quick view of the other side..

MAJOR work in progress still!

The armoire is leaving (a fun feature wall will be in that spot)

The teeny tiny desk is leaving and will be replaced with a larger one that I scored for $10.00!

I'd love to go into more detail but it's a GORGEOUS day in Southern California!

The Lil' Man is off to play football with some friends and Lil' Red and I are headed to the park.

I'll fill you in on more later!

I just can't get enough...

I just can't get enough of Tracy Porter and all her loveliness!

Check it out

And stop back by later to see who was kind enough to pass this on to me!

Off to finish up Lil' Red's room makeover and hoping for a Monday Makeover debut!!
It's been too long since we've had one of those, hasn't it!?
