Trying to figure out how to get a mural of this on the barn wall or fence in the back yard -- and use it to hang a REAL pitchfork on!

Bloomin' idiot

I've decided I need more greenery in our bedroom besides the chili pepper tree. I know that once we get the Battenburg lace valences on the windows (they go with the dust ruffle) dressing it up won't seem so out of place.

So. We could use an old bucket or pitcher or something on the dresser and put some silk bluebonnets and paintbrushes and sunflowers in it. Maybe some yellow roses!

I'm also thinking of framing some old cotton Texas flags:

Lone Star,



Burnet,




deZavala (unofficial as it is!),


Gonzales flag




Goliad




and an 1824 flag would be funny!



I also saw this idea and LOVED it!

More inspiration for the guest bath

I am really looking at the litle shelf with accessories...hmmmmm

This would be easy to make

Jesse and I saw something like this while shopping downtown yesterday -- I've already got a mason jar set out to make this for the guest bath -- we also got a miniature cast-iron frying pan to use as a soap dish! It is so cute!

I'm wondering....

I am wondering if I could put one of these antique curtain rods around the existing tub in the guest bath so that it LOOKS antique -- if we go ahead and put beadboard at the edges --

Tanks a Lot!

Idea! Another project for Jesse!
Make a box like this as a shelf/cabinet above the toilet in the guest bath , and add a pole and chain (just for decoration)

Leaning towards this one - it's is funny!

Just for Show

I printed this off on some manila paper and put it in an old barnwood frame in the guest bath after I took down all the ship stuff (Randy inherited a lot of the pirate-y stuff out of there!)

BWAHAHAHAHA! Maybe I need a little sign that says it is for DISPLAY ONLY!!!!!

Overall Overhaul

I've seen these before and actually considered putting them up over the craft room - but it just hit me the other day to use the valance for the shower in the guest bath. (I might have to put some fringe or crochet lace at the bottom to fit the theme in there now, though) I'm thinking we won't have to change anything else except the wallpaper and the knick-knacks to some country stuff (and it will start to match the rest of the house). Also - we can keep the brushed nickel sink faucet and not worry about brass stuff. (cheaper!) AND Our neighbor across the street is giving us a piece of granite slab that we have decided to use as the countertop in the guest bath -- Jesse thinks there is enough to do our bath, too....but I'm not so sure.

OR if we do tractors and stuff in the back bath, it would be cute in there....hmmmmmm
I could use bandanas as a valance in one of them
OOOOOH! I can't decide!
