Our Master Bedroom

Our room is a good size for a Mobile Home....thankfully, because our furniture is BIG!

We painted the paneling and added some moldings...that isn't quite finished....but we are getting there.  Hope you enjoy the lookie see!


My hubby's side of the bed....the book is a romance novel with my husband and I as the main characters.


I prayed and prayed that the chaise would fit...and it did!!...please overlook hubby's shoes!!





I tried several times to get this pic clear...but I think the light is messing me up...






Our college pics!!


I adore my lampshades in this room and I tried to get the color...they look creamy gold when off, but when on, they are rust....


My old trunk....there is a window right above this...and again, had trouble...but you get the idea...
Here you can see that the trim is not all done...


My side of the bed...


My collection of fancy boxes....

Does this help with the color??




Our wedding picture and a picture about 5 years ago on a cruise.  I love this picture...


This is on the door...


Nope, I do not have a door knob yet...


But I will soon!!

My Back Door entry....


I thought you might like to see our back (side) door....this is the side of the car port.


Today I fought with the drill and put up my antique mail box...




This hangs on the door window...


Here is the culprit...but I do love it....yes, it is rusty....NO, I am not painting it!


I have had this little screen door for years...it is a little worse for wear...but I don't care....
the clip?  I have to leave that because any community info goes there...


I got the sign half price at HL.....


The light fixtures were the first things we changed when we bought this place.


I really tried to get this without the shadows, but I couldn't.  It was 80% off at HL...I added the butterfly.  It is hanging on a wreath holder.

Hope someday, I will see you at my back door!

A New Sign in Our Bathroom!


My husband made me a little craft.  I had seen something similar in a store that was wayyyyy out of my budget.  So I drew it and he made it.  Now, granted, mine is not perfect, but because he made it for me, it is more than perfect to me.








Our main bathroom has an apothecary theme....sorta!  I am thrilled with my new sign.

Guest Bedroom Updated

Today I wanted to show our guest room.  This room is small...but adequate.  Again we painted the ceiling and walls....added molding and new carpet.


I have had the Home Interiors picture for YEARS....


Our old harp table....and one of my favorite lamps.  The old sterioscope was a gift from my friends Candy and Amy.  As you can see we don't have handles on our doors yet!  But we will before you all come to stay...I promise!




The shelf over the window....


I got these precious baby outfits at an auction. The hangers were mine when I was a baby.


My stack of Hat Boxes....and our antique armoire.  The frame was my mom's years ago.


I just started popping in things in my old tool box...gloves, my grandma's glasses...the pin cushion that Marty - A Stroll Thru Life made me, and the Testament from my wedding.


I had just enough room for my old ironing board....the hanging sachet is from Rebecca at Gathering Thoughts....and you can see a corner of the pillow I made for the Bloggerette Sorority.


 The corner shelf belonged to my mom....and the spoons we one of the last gifts she gave me...


Looking out the plantation shutters at our bistro set....


I am very happy the way the room turned out.  I had my doubts....I had to put the bed closer to the wall than I prefer...but my husband wanted us to be able to keep the antique armoire.

At the foot of the bed...the wall is entirely a closet.  We put shelves in half of it for all my dishes and my husband uses the other half.

Happy Memorial Day and What Bird is that?

We are enjoying our first holiday in our MH.  We LOVE our patio!  Our son is coming over today for more BBQ!



My husband says he likes where our grill is better here than in our other home.

This morning this was our view out the Dining Room window....


Come on now!!! You IS NOT a hummingbird!

Edited:  we have looked it up and we believe it is a woodpecker.  If anyone knows for sure let us know please.  We hear woodpeckers so we know they are around.....

MH Updated Kitchen

Well I am home and have been working like crazy!

While I was in Florida I cracked my friend Candy up because I read the obituaries.  I have always done this...but I was so pooped when I went there  I think I was just checking to make sure I wasn't listed!

We still have a LOT to do as far as finishing touches.  But today I am going to show the finish kitchen.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how it turned out!


I hope you all can remember that this had paneled greenbrown walls, cupboards, fake butcher block countertop and OLD everything else!
We have redone every inch of this kitchen.

I will put a plant in the antique holder, but my husband has to anchor it.  I tried, but nope...didn't work.


I used all my STUFF as much as I could without looking like a hoarder!


See the blue butter dish.  I think it was my mother's!  OLD but not a good old.  HOWEVER, my hubby  LOVES this dish rather than a glass one, soooo, well, he does live here too!


Here are my gorgeous new appliances.  I am crazy for them!


This is where a small microwave will go...haven't got one yet...you can't imagine how many times I think Oh, I will just zap.....nope, I won't!

 I am taking you around the kitchen...not big, but it works fantastic!

 We love our eating counter.. and our granite!

Ok, so I am a bit of a hoarder!  I had to have my vintage kitchen items.......

 See in the hall...proof that not everything is done!


I am looking like crazy to find more of these rolling pin holders...to add one.  I would love it to fill the whole wall!

I hope you enjoyed the tour.....

All the boxes are unpacked.  I never thought I could do it, but I did!  I THINK I remember  where I put everything!!

I will show you more next time....Bye!
