ChairsI finally got around to painting the rocker , I cut the latex paint with water so that it would absorb in to the wood and become part of it .

Pretty paisleyAfter trying the floral curtains and getting Sophie's thumb down I took them down , maybe I am bored of the existing drapes I have always had those and they are safe , I like the striped carpet in there is brings life that room , I know its the fabric on the chairs , it has been there for two years …
Girly girlI would never describe my style as girly , I like girly elements but not overly feminine or romantic things, not for me , pretty to look at but I like cleaner looks, I am crazy about stripes , but I need to pull myself back at times .

When I was helping my dad go through his household items I found this bottle , it is so charming and has a bit of a grey tinge, he was kind and gave it to me , he said that he found it in the ground when he was 20 , and that it is very old, it is a pop bottle , I believe.

Home Depot to the rescueAll who read my blog know I am a big fan of home depot , so I looked up my fridge and checked their stock and price matching policies, well there you go they have 40 of them , they gave me lots of cut backs to get the price down even lower than sears by $100.00 , which actually is $200.00 in my favo…

Here is the real thing the umbrella I found , very happy with it . And the rocker that I am still bitter at , its not as big as I thought it would be either a bit petite , it will be white.
