Making Progress

I've been painting for 7 hours straight.

Hit the big honkin' breakfront,

so now I have to wait for my guys to move it.

(I'm prayin' here folks, my husband hurt his back

on our St. Louis trip carrying in some garden statuary,

and he's not thrilled with this idea)

Notice the orange mouse?

My helpers again.

 The green toile looks gaggy with this creamy cappucino,

but I have a sample of wallpaper in the lower left hand corner.

See? So I think it will be pretty when it all comes together.

Anyone up for washing 7 years of dust off my china and crystal?... didn't think so.

Remember when I said I didn't have anything major planned for redecorating?

cancel that...

See ya later.

love,

Debra

Next project please...

As a certain bbff said to me last night,

"Wallpaper?...you'll have to convince me."

I know, I know, wallpaper seems to have fallen out of fashion of late,

but I've always loved me a little wallpaper to set a mood.

The Dining Room is the only place in this house,

that you'll find it.

And that's below the chair railing.

And I seem to be on some kind of wild,

redecorating roll here...

to lighten up my world.

I still love the green and the toile,

but anyone else out there like me...

You just need a change every once in a while?

I'm holding the sample book up next to the chair rail

to get an idea of it next to the white woodwork.

and I just thought I'd throw in my Mother's Day

 gift from my St. Louis kids,

a Paris pillow from the new collection at Restoration Hardware.

OK. I'm off to order the wallpaper and matching paint.

Keep a good thought for me.

I tend to get in over my head at times.

I'm doing a two-fer this White Wednesday

hope you don't mind me being piggy.

Thanks Kathleen

So, this may take me a while,

as I have to strip the old paper off,

...paint,

and then wait for the paper to arrive.

I'll try to come up for air.

love,

Debra
