Pink Saturday....Lamp

It's "PINK SATURDAY"

Hosted by Beverly at "How Sweet The Sound".

I wanted to share one of my favorite lamps. I have enjoyed it for almost 5 years. My Mom gave me the very old broach that I have pinned on a old lace doily.

I hot glued several shades of PINK roses on the lamp shade. I think they have held up great over the years. The base I found at an antique store. I had no idea what I was going to do with it at the time.........then it hit me.....a lamp!!!!

Make sure you click on the link and it will take you to other Pink Saturday sights.

Thank you for your visit and please come again.

Hugs,

Mika's New Bed

I have been looking for just the right bed for Mika.....Well I found it and it's PINK of course ......as a matter of fact I found 2... the other one below is a Fabulous green. I just couldn't help myself..... I put one in the kitchen and the other in the family room....

The reason is they were only $14.99 each. I couldn't make it for that.....I love Ross!!!!

and Mika loves her new beds......

Mika is doing great....she is 14 weeks now weighs 2 lbs 12 oz......She get her final puppy shots in 3 weeks and then I can take her out....looking forward to her first outdoor adventure......

Where To Get It !!!

Many of you wanted to know where I purchased my "Fabulous" Chalkboard sign I used for the "Front Porch Party"......Well, I have the info for you. It was mail order from Tender Heart Treasures. Just click on the link and it will take you right to it.....I have used it for birthdays, party's, Christmas, welcomes etc. I have had it for a year or so and they still have them. They also have a cute Birdhouse Chalkboard.

Happy Shopping!!!!!

Also....The Pillow Stepping Stones

....I bought them at Ohmega Salvage Co. in Berkeley CA a few years ago..... I paid around $18 at the salvage yard..... I think they were seconds ( I can't tell the difference) I have seen them at different nursery. They run around $50 or so.

Hope this helps!!!!

Pink Saturday.....

Welcome to Pink Saturday!!!!

Beverly from "How Sweet the Sound" is hosting the Fabulous event. I am so happy to be a part of it. Thank you Beverly :-)

Today I have shared my Chair Project. Of course it's PINK

Please enjoy....

I have been wanting to paint this chair since last summer. Well today was the day. I bought it at this antique store in Danville CA almost a year ago for 50% off. That was the good thing.
It just needed a little TLC........ I have it at the foot of my bed. Somewhere nice to put shoes on.

I love the way it turned out.....

Sorry, this picture came out a little dark.

Now if only I can get my fireplace done!!!!! Maybe next week.....

Thank you for your visit...Come back and see me sometime!!!!

Guest Room

See what happens when the children move out. "Guest Room" Thought I would share this with you. I will be changing the picture above the bed soon, even though it is one of my favorites. I will post the new change next week as well as the rest of the room. ......

........Below Picture.......

I just love WHITE as well as PINK. I also love battenburg lace. I found this duvet cover ages ago and had no idea what I would do with it....well it now has a home....and lots of pillows.....

That "Special Table"

I found these little chairs at Ross last year and knew I wanted to make a little seating area for my grand kids. I had the little wicker table that just fit perfect with the chairs. They love it. Just the right size.
The little Sunday below is made with pink Easter grass and pink and white silk carnations and just to top it off a cherry and 2 pink straws.

My Mothers Day Present !!!!!!

Introducing....... Miss Mika Bella

Born..... March 4, 2008

Weight..... almost nothing

She was a gift from my Son for mothers day. How lucky am I. I have wanted a Maltese for so long and now I have her. I'm in love.....

Thank you David and Mayra.

I had the best Mothers day ever. I'm so lucky. I have the most caring husband and children in the world.

Dougie, Julie, Kera and David I love you!!!!!

"My Garden"

I had to share this little gift of nature. I love going into my garden. The colors are magnificent. My husband and I have been working for the past few weekends and we are seeing some great progress. I am trying to Simplify, very hard for me to do.

Kitchen Chandelier

This is my kitchen chandelier. It started out black. I painted it white and wrapped ribbon around the arms. The tea cups I found at an antique store in Niles, CA. I thought it was a great buy for $1. each. I tied them on with a pink bow and hung a crystal in the center of the teacup.

I love the shades. I made the covers out of lace. Elastic on top and bottom of the lace and just slipped it on. The crystals I had from an old lamp the broke.

And here it is. I wanted to give it just a bit more color so I put small berry wreath over the light. It looks beautiful at night. Very soft and cozy.

Kitchen Grandfather Clock

I think this is one of my gooood bargains. I bought this unfinished clock a very very long time ago and it sat in my attic for many many years until one day I saw it in the very back corner. I took it out and looked at it for a few days until something enspired me. I ended up painted it a cream color and put a face on it with an old doily and used some roses as numbers, as you see in the below picture, and put it in my kitchen. I think I have had it there for at least 5 years and I still love it.

MY ALMOST DONE BEDROOM

This is my almost done bedroom. By that I mean just a little more painting of the stripes around the walls. I changed my mind at the last minute and I want the stripes all the way up to the ceiling.

I love all the pillows. I have been picking them up everywhere over the last few years. I love that they all go together but none really match.

I have a large bedroom and wanted to make it a little bit cozier. So day I was laying in bed and looking at the beams above and got this idea to make a canopy. So I used tension rods for the curtains and they fit perfect between the beans. Now that is what I call LUCK. I love the way it turned out. I also have a mini chandelier hanging above my bed. Great for reading at night.




I found this night stand in Pacifica 2 years ago . I loved the colors when I bought it and now it looks great in my NEW bedroom. The prints above it I found in Stockbridge MA. On vacation last year.







My dresser I love. I bought this bedroom set about 20 yrs and still love it. The stripes in my room I first saw in a little tea shop in Pleasanton. It's called The English Rose Tea Shop. My friend and I went in for tea and I fell in love with the paint color and the stripe. So here it is. The owner was so nice to give me the paint color. If you are ever in Pleasanton stop in for tea and you will see what I mean. Plus it's fun.




I'm always changing the look of my dresser. This week it's roses and teacups next week who knows. I also found this lamp at Marshalls and it matched the ones on my night stand from a garage sale. Now that is luck.





The old window above is from my friends Sharon's Mom's home. I am trying to get really good at painting roses, almost there, but for now it is a rose stencil. I think it turned out great. The rocking chair is from my husbands grandmother. We have had this for at least 39 yrs.




And this is another project that is almost done. I really didn't like the brick in my NEW room. Soooo I am covering it with bead board. All we have left to do is the top. Weather has not been that great to glue some boards together. Should be done soon. I will take the after picture.



I love this mantle scarf. I have had this for so many years. The Rose picture is my friends Sharon's. She had no place in her home for it and I have it on loan. I think I have had it for about 10 yrs. I'm sure some day she will find the perfect spot for it (hope not). I love it above the fireplace.



and finely we have a little porch off our bedroom. I love looking out onto our garden when everything is in bloom. My husband and I sit out there quite often during the summer.
