Hello everyone!
I just finished doing a post on my other blog:

(click here to see more)

About last night's
Autumn Evening Market

We had such a wonderful time and I was told by many... that they did too!


While there...and taking pictures...
I spotted a couple of furniture pieces that I believe might have called my name

Little french pieces that would make great nightstands


or chairside reading tables


to see more of our Autumn evening event head over to my other blog!

Meanwhile...
Back at the ranch...

One of my sons and his dad worked on yet another...
chapter in our renovation saga!
(insert the whole dramatic music thing  here)
The front of the house!




Straight out of my worst nightmare...
The front of our home has been saved until virtually last for reasons of time...
and money!


See...Pretty scary looking

But this is a huge deal to me...so they are really trying to get it done before it gets too cold out!


I will have more for you soon !
The upstairs guest room is complete
(just waiting for a few of my linens)
And I have started the sitting area(loft)

Tinker house is as far as we are going to take it this season.
And I have started painting!

I am still having serious design dilemmas
For some reason, I just can't make the final decisions about some of my downstairs rooms!
Does this happen to you?
There are so many amazing looks out there...I love so many things!
but...need to make some decisions soon.
I am the main holdup as far as completing...
the utility room...
the kitchen...
and the dining room!

Help is on the way though!
See you soon!

  1. I am headed over to your other blog to check out the big event! Taking your time to finish your rooms is a good thing. I have found that when I rush things, I end up wanting to change them again later! And sometimes you just have to wait for that certain "inspiration" to get you rolling! Good luck with your current renovations!

  2. I'm like you I like too much...it does make it hard to decide. I admire ppl that never waiver from their look.
    It's funny because I just decided what I want to do with my foyer and dinner room over the weekend.
    By next weekend I'll probably change my mind.
    Good luck with all your projects.
