Heartwarming

Here's where the fireplace is as of Christmas 2007. I've got to decide where to move it once we get the tree out of the living room.

The rooster lamp is a recent flea market find. It was $10! I added a plain white shade that I glued a piece of rope/twine around the bottom to make it look more country & rustic.

Fired Up for Christmas

Here's what Santa brought me for Christmas. I'll post a picture of how it looks in the living room later.

Out Front

Here is a great-looking front porch with just a small amount of space to work with... I think I would still want square posts so we could put the gingerbread Texas stars in the corners.

Tejas Shower Curtain

Thought I should add that this is our shower curtain for the Texas bath. If I get around to it, I'll post pictures of what it looks like in our bath -- we even have the shower curtain hooks that go with it! Crazy - the sink/toilet/tub configuration is the same as ours! I never thought of putting the towels over the toilet, though... and .... we have that SAME toothbrush holder! How cute to put bluebonnets in it instead of toothbrushes!

Deserving of a "Metal"

Barn Lumber Bath by jess_79


I am trying to convince Jesse that we need something like this in the Texas bathroom.

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!
