CHRISTMAS IN THE BEDROOMS

The guestrooms - just a touch




And our room................!



I put a few logs on a grate and covered them in lights


Now the reason I was hesitant to give a full picture is because we don't have a huge room ................so it's almost impossible to get a photo face on of the " faux " fireplace.

I moved the bed over as much as I could before it hit the other wall...........laid down on the bed as flat as I could get - but my legs were in the way - so I laid there spread eagled with my legs splayed up in the air and John walked in...........

Why I was embarrassed I have no idea - but I was - completely embarrassed to be in such a vulnerable position!

John says - WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU DOING?
Suzan says - Trying to get a shot of the fireplace
John says - You need to take photography classes - I don't think that's a normal pose
John says - WHY IS THE BED PUSHED AGAINST THE WALL???
Suzan says - Because it's in the way
John says - Did you see you snapped off a piece of the trim ?
Suzan says - Is that what it was?  I heard a crack !
John says - Well I'm glad I didn't do it - I'd never hear the end of it - but if it's for the blog.........

That entire conversation happened with me in that position by the way - waiting for him to get out so I could continue .................

As he walked out of the room he casually mentioned the MIRROR I have placed right over the Christmas lights
I never thought to even look in the mirror - but  it was horrifying - once again he saved the day or this would have looked like an entirely different type of blog !


At the very least it wouldn't have looked very wholesome - trust me

  2. Tell me John has an English accent please! I always read his part of the conversation with a James Bond classy air, which makes your crazy antics all the more funny to me. Your mantelpiece is wonderful with the faux fireplace below. Love it. And love you guys both, please never change.

  28. Ay-Ay-Ay! What a hot Momma de-SPLAYING her wares just to get a great picture for her blog fans! You are too much! You made me pee my pants with the convos you and your John have, (That didn't sound good!)
    Your mantel and the picture turned out wonderfully so tell your John, er I mean JOHN that all of your contortions were worth it!
    I've had a house load of company for Thanksgiving so I missed commenting on all of your beautiful blogs, but I did read them today. I was out of the loop for a whole week and I sure have a lot of email! I'll have to set a lot of time aside to go through everything, but your blogs are the funnest! You are a creative marvel! That fireplace you built has sure been a wonderful decorating source for you, and as always it is Gorgeous!
    Hugs,
    Laura/Hazel et al
