~creamy goodness~

Good morning bloggy friends!

well, it's Monday & the list is long....

so how about a little creamy goodness

before diving into work!

Today I'm tempting you all with

designer Lauren Ross's home

are those stone walls just amazing?

I love how the ruffly slipcovers drape on

the sisal rug.....

aren't her slipcovered dining chairs

2die4???

I love the soft ruffles & the ties in back

AND that MIRROR!! wow~

need one of those......

This picture was my inspiration

for my bedroom makeover.

I love her headboard w/ the monogram

I'm still wanting to do a monogram on ours...

I know lots of you have seen this picture...

what a sweet bathroom....

even a little ruffle on the tiny lampshade!

ruffles & urns....yum.

her daughter's bedroom.....

it's a nice pink huh?

more drapey slipcover yumminess

& ruffly pillow goodness...

I wonder how long these would look nice

in my home????

{I'm thinking approximately 24 hours....}

I love the shape of these chairs....the monogram

the strappy legs...

yeah, love this one too, but

look at that brick floor!!

here's another little closeup

of one of her slipcovers....

this chair was her grandmother's &

she left it "as is"

except adding the little rosettes around

the buttons on the tufting....

love her style~

ok...now on to real life.....

my life....

I'm happy to report our stairs are coming along!

I'm still waiting on the contractors bid &

meanwhile Mr. T & T started working on

them this weekend!!

I swear there is nothing that makes me happier

than hubs doing house projects!! yippee!

I'll take that over roses anyday!

{in a vase...that is...now if we're talking

about one to plant well....that's a tough choice...:)}

I went "running" 5 times last week!!

can you believe that??

I say "running" because it's really a little jogging,

and a alot of  little walking....

all I can say is.... it hurts like#*@!!  it feels great!

ha ha :)

I do appreciate all of your nice comments &

encouragement!  I was telling my running partner

about all your encouragement & she wants

me to forward those comments to her so she can

believe it's possible to become a runner at our age!

I haven't really been sore from it, just right after

we are done....legs hurt, feet & ankles hurt....

but at least it hasn't been lasting long!

~*~

ok back to decorating...

I have to admit my decorator/remodeling ADD

is kicked into full swing & my head is spinning...

{I won't go into the list or your heads will

be spinning as well!}

seriously.....I drive myself crazy with jumping

from this to that all day!

please tell me some of you do this as well!

~hummmmmm....~

{imagine soft meditational music here!}

now, on that note I need to get in gear....

make bed

start laundry

start dishwasher

take shower

replace 14 yr olds cell phone...

go to post office

pick up kids

go for run

make dinner

sound familiar?

have a great day!

xo,
