New curtains for the family room and a summer table top

Spring 2013

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happily

enjoying summer!  Can hardly believe

we are almost out of July, only 8 days

left,  oh my!!  Did that fly by.....

Am all unpacked and just trying to

get my mojo back after being gone

for 9 days, another reason that July

seemed to fly by so fast.......lol

Some of you have asked when I was

gonna get my curtains up???  

Actually the family room ones have

 been up for probably over a month,

but figured I would wait until I got

the dining room done too, which has

been done for a few weeks now too,

but since we were going away and

I already had pics of my playing 

vignettes done, so I did those

 posts instead.

So now.... I can do my curtain post.

I have to say I have really enjoyed

the new look.  After going thru the

pics and all,  I decided to just show

you the family room this week, as my

 dining room table has fabric all over it

 and the sewing machine,  so doesn't

 make for a very nice picture. if you get

 my drift.........so will show you those

next week probably. I am still tweaking

 both rooms,  but had to quit to get

 ready for our trip and then of course,

the trip itself.  lol  So after tomorrow,

I will probably be back at it again.

Here you can see I was trying it out to

 see how we liked it.

When you see them scrunched together

it is hard to tell they look like this.

Not the best pic, I might add,  but

really love the fabric and if you have

been by last week,  you saw this as

a table cloth............lol

The curtains went from this.....more formal look

to this more casual and modern look.

(The lights were on here so it sort of changed

 the color) Still trying to decide if I want to

paint the curtain rods....and what color if I

did..........any ideas??  They would be welcome.

I am thinking I might like to paint the walls

a vanilla color, but not really sure..........

This is the right shade of blue on everything too.

 This shot was taken from the dining room.

Did you notice I was trying the afghan in

different spots.   lol  Some of these pics

were taken at different times.

Decided to throw in a few Spring/Summer table

 top pics as well.  Since I changed a lot of things

around since Spring...........

A lovely book I won a few years ago in a give-
away from Bonnie over at One Designing Woman.


It is called "One Thousand Gifts"
 by Anne Voskamp.  A great read I might add,
the prose is wonderful, and lovely gift for anyone,
and It confirmed what I had already discovered
 by doing my Thankful Thursday post every week.

This shot was taken from the kitchen

Hope you enjoyed your visit,  Happy you came

by and hope you will say hello........

Will show you the rest of the tabletops pics

on Thursday........
