My room.....

... I have always wanted a room with, transferware, toile and slipcovers and now I have one! :)


My parents gave me this library table a few years ago when they downsized and sold their house and condo here in Ohio and made the final move to Lake Michigan, after my Dad Retired.

My aunt needed a computer table, so it was at her house until recently when she moved, now it is at my house and I love it.


I bought the wall saying at Hobby Lobby when it was 1/2 off, it represents the 3 most important things in my life....faith~family~friends!

The little black table was my Grandma's. It used to be white and I just painted it black.
This little black stool was a favorite find at a neighbor's garage sale last summer, it was a steal and after a little TLC, I love it!



The morning sun is glorious in this room with it's butter golden walls.


All of the furniture in this room came from thrift stores

or was hand me downs from family.

(Except for the piano, I bought that from a friend of my SIL)

The white table was on my Aunt's Grandma's porch,

she thinks it is a least 100 years old. I love it!

I found the toile chair in a little artist studio in Swanton for a steal,

it is truly a favorite of mine.

Of course my wonderful niece helped me slipcover the chairs

I found last year at Goodwill.

I mistreated the window for a whopping $3.69

with black and white gingham and thumb tacks from Wal-mart!

I found the black and white toile slipcovers

at a second hand store in Grand Rapids,Ohio

just a hop skip and jump down the river from me.

For get this.....


$5 a piece!


They washed up great and I threw them over my kitchen chairs!

The little wicker chair is from a dear friend of my parents in Michigan

who owns a little General store. It was hers when she was a little girl! :)



In this room I plan to do the following....


...spending time doing my devotions,
enjoying the quiet.


I can sit by a sunny window and

enjoy a cup of coffee

and my mini wheats

with some favorite magazines.


That is what I was planning on doing

this very morning....

and then.....

these 2 showed up. ;)


Bryson and MK (Mary Katelyn),

My great niece and nephew, they have a new baby sister!

Grandma (my Sis) brought them over on a walk this am to give Mom and Daddy

a little peace and quiet with the new baby.


They love my piano!!!

I love them!

I love my new room

and am sure we will use it often!

Blessings~

I love the room too! It turned out so beautiful Leigh Ann, I just love everything about it, the toile, the slipcovers, love the black checked pillow in the chair, wonderful job! I can't wait to see it in person. Email me because I would love to get together next week for coffee or lunch or something. You can show me all your little shopping spots.
