Sharon's House

I met Sharon a couple of years ago when my home
was featured on a home tour.

She was so sweet and said she loved my home and wanted to be
my new best friend. Well be careful what you wish for!
We love a lot of the same things and have had fun shopping
and creating together.
She recently wanted me to help her rearrange her living room.
Here are her before and afters.

We had so much fun and it is easy to make her home look great
with all of her wonderful treasures.
When I downsized she bought a lot of stuff from my house and
it was really great to see it again.
As with most redesign jobs there are a few things to add. The empty white urn
on the fireplace will be beautiful when she adds a fern.

The main goal was to make it less country, cutesy, cluttered, and do
more of a comfortable farmhouse feel. I think we achieved that,
don't you?
It is really my passion to do redesign work. I wish it was my main job.
But for now I do it part time and love every minute of it!

Sprucing up

On Labor day I went to Macy's with about a million other people. I was
looking for some clothes to add to my working
wardrobe now that I will be going back to work. But I entered the store
by going through the bedding department and was able to find a new
duvet and some shams that were SO on sale! The duvet was originally $175.00
marked down to $40.00 and the euro shams were marked down to $18.00 from $68.00.
I like the pattern Wildflowers.
It is very different from what I usually pick but it is so soft
and it looks really fresh.
Of course all of this meant that I needed to refresh the room. I had so much fun
doing it and I thought I would share............

I will be getting a feather insert which will make it much more luxurious
I will also purchase a dark fitted sheet to contrast the underside of the duvet.
I also need an
accent pillow so to give you an idea of what I will be looking for
I put a tray there that is close to the
size and shape I would like.

So then I wanted to fix the dresser that has never been the way I wanted it to be....

I was able to turn the mirror the other way which is good for me to be able to see
when I put my jewelry on.

The sweet little bird dish that my sister Kerri gave me used to be used
for soap in the bathroom
but is now where I keep things that I take off after a long day
then at the end of the week I return everything back to the drawer.

As always Georgie was with me every step of the way and nothing was moved
without his approval..............After all it is his room too!
