John says - Get it out of the bedroom!

Suzan says - Remember that ladder I used to decorate at Christmas time John?
John says - Yeah - it looked ridiculous
Suzan says - Could you bring it upstairs please?
John says - Oh no - what do you want to do with it this time?
Suzan says - I have an idea
John says - Please don't Suzan - enough with the ladders ok?
Suzan says - I'll get it myself..............

Now before all of you think I'm really a spoiled brat that can't even go into the dungeon to get a ladder - here's a little background on that -
John has it in such a state of filth that I can't find anything down there - every day - and I mean EVERY single day he tells me he's going to organize it - and every single day it just seems to get worse.
SO - when I threaten to go down and get something - he trips up over himself to keep me out of it.
Plus it's really a terrifying space down there - most of it is a 100 year old dirt cellar - with a small section that was cemented in by the previous owners.
John brought the ladder up - and I got busy painting it - while I was painting the floor.

Suzan says - Come look John, tell me what you think


John says - Get it out of the bedroom Suzan , come on, really, it doesn't belong there at all
Suzan says - I love it - I absolutely love it there
John says - Why don't you paint the drill and saw and dangle them off of it?
John says - Why don't you paint the sander and rest it on one of the rungs?
John says - Why don't
Suzan says - ENOUGH !
John says - Well if you're going to turn the bedroom into a workspace we should just keep everything
all together


Suzan says - Don't you know that it's a " look " ?
Suzan says - It's called Rustic Prairie...........
Suzan says - I can hang magazines from it - or throws - or
John cuts me off  -  What the hell is that sparkly thing inside of it?



Suzan says - A bit of bling
John says - What the hell is a bling?
John says - Do you invent these words?
Suzan says - IT'S BLING - GLITZ - SPARKLE !!!!!!!!!!   And it's for a tea light
John says - You're going to set the house on fire lighting a candle inside a wood ladder, are you nuts?
Suzan says - I'm not going to light a candle John - it's just a " look "
John says - This has to be the most non functional house on the planet - everything's for show -
Suzan says - Ok - conversation's over - Just wanted to know if you like it - guess I've got my answer
John says - But it's staying, right?
Suzan says - Right
Suzan say s- Just consider it my end table!


A little later.................watching T.V. - out of the blue

John says - Where's the measuring tape?
Suzan says - In the tool box, why?
John says - I'm going to bring up my golf clubs - I think I'm going to decorate that corner over there
with them,
Suzan says - you'd better be willing to paint them white if they're coming in here...........................

Thanks SO much for the feature!!!

Dollar Store Dimanche




I ran into the dollar store on Friday to pick up some stencilling - but got a little side tracked................didn't pick up what I intended to get but came home with some pretties anyway.

I'm not a fan of fake flowers - at all - but couldn't resist these - they felt like " spring " to me and the green is more of a sage color - not that horrible fake green they usually put on flowers..................


 .And then as I was leaving I spied these


And an idea was born.....................

some were tied into " bunches " to look like the bunches that hang from rafters when they're harvested



and some fit perfectly in the small planters - my favorite - don't these look like Spring is just around the corner?
Total cost for everything 10.00 -
Total cost for planter ( with one bunch of flowers cut up ) 4.00


Have yourselves a beautiful Sunday......................
