Madison's Bedroom

I am doing a series of done rooms as they are done.
First I posted a blog on the dining room.
Second was the exit room.
Here is the third room in the series.

Madison's bedroom.
This is the view as you are coming down the hallway upstairs.


I was a little leery of the purple at first, but I love how it turned out.



The floors up stairs are all done in this wood.



The closet in this room is large.
Here is one side.



And here is the other.
Yes, she already has one box of clothes in her closet!



Her beautiful, but not fussy chandelier.



We painted the inside of her door in chalkboard paint.
FUN!!

The Guest Room

The guest room is finally ready for its first guest!

My granddaughter, Gracyn, is coming for a short visit.

This is what the guest room looks like when you open the door. 




I was going to decorate in red, white, and  blue, but Gracyn's favorite color is pink.

So I tried to go that way as much as I could.


I love this picture of the old truck and sunflowers, it brings all of the colors in the room together.









I think this spot will be used a lot when she is here!


This teeny, tiny door is a fairy door.

There is an equally tiny key for the fairy to use if you are a good little girl.

Rumor has it that she leaves fairy dust every where she goes!


I have found that I am liking vintage furniture more and more.

This chair is sooooo cool.

The star lights are even prettier when lit up at night. 


She is all about Pinkalicious!

The little clay bowls are Madison's and Nic's creations from grade school.

I put old game pieces in one of them.


This dresser is very old.

I added a few of my things that I had when I was a little girl to this spot.


This is one of my favorite lights.

A great garage sale find!


Champ loves it already!


I hope you like it, too!!

The Exit Room

Here is the second post in a series of finished rooms.

In case you missed the first one it was on the dining room.

I'm going to start posting the rooms that we have finished as we finish them.

They are not cleaned or decorated, but they will all have flooring, lighting, and all of the construction done on them.


This is the "EXIT" room.

This room is to the left when you walk in the house from the garage.

This view is from the back porch looking in through the hallway and ending at the half bathroom door.
The walls are painted green.
The trim is all white.
The door to the right is oak, it leads to the attic above the garage. 


The picture below is from the hallway out to the back porch.
We are planning on adding a pool out there where all that nice dirt is as soon as we can.
So, when that is done, you will be able to get from the pool to the half bathroom easily. 


This porcelain tile is what we have in here, the hallway, and the entry way.
You can't tell by the pictures here, but this flooring has brown, tan, and grey in it. 


This is why I refer to this small hallway as "The Exit Room".
I found this light on Ebay and I couldn't resist!
Needless to say, it was the starting point for this room.


Next up in the series is the upstairs hallway.

Work On The House

Thought I would update you a little on the work that Large is doing on the new house.

This is a picture of the 1/2 bath.

Right now he is working on taking the door out and putting in one that swings the other direction.



Love, love, love the black and white tile.


The antique, restored light is hung, now I'm looking for a couple of shades for it.


Large has hung the grass cloth wallpaper in the hallway.

Now he is working on the board and batten. 


The Master Bedroom is finished!!!


The Family room has been painted in a dark teal and trimmed out in white.

The crown molding is all that is left to do in here.



The entryway is being painted white.


Large's office is coming along.  
Yes, that is a green and orange wall.


The dining room is ready for the grass cloth wallpaper to go up.


Slowly but surely it is all getting done.

Large has set a move in date of April 1st.

Yay!!!

What do you think so far????

I would love to hear your opinion.

1/2 Bathroom Floor Is Down

I realize it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything on the new house.

We are working on the 1/2 bath in the main part of the house right now.

Big Ran and I decided to go with black and white for the color scheme.

The floor is made up of 2 inch black hexagon tiles with white grout.

Since my breast cancer diagnosis, we have slowed down a lot on the house project, we have been spending many hours at doctors appointments.

I have also spent many hours recovering from the surgery and chemotherapy.

We are very determined people though!

What do you think about the tile?

I AM LOVING IT!!!!

Master Bedroom Flooring

We have been working on the flooring in the Master Bedroom.

Well, actually I haven't been helping too much.
I have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Last Friday I had a mastectomy on my right breast.
We go to the doctor tomorrow and find out what happens next.

Sooooooooooooooo  Big Ran got a couple of smaller helpers to help him for a while.

This is a picture of our two little grandsons, Michael and Hudson.

He has much better help now.

They are doing a great job!!!

How Do You Like Gray?

The master bedroom is painted!

I painted the ceiling white and the walls gray.






This is what is left of the lighting that I had planned for this room.
There was an accident.


Lucky for me, I found this replacement on eBay!  




It's all coming together.

Lighting For The Garage

I have finally got the lighting for the outside of the garage.

I ordered two of these.
One for each side of the garage door.

American Heritage Outdoor Wall Lantern


What do you think of them!!!?

As soon as Big Ran gets them up and connected, I will show you a picture of them.

Madison's Room

Here is a picture of the lighting.



Brooklyn 5-Light Chandelier
























We have got all of the sheet rock up.

It is taped and sanded.

I have been cleaning and now we are painting.

We have started in Madison's room and we are going to work our way down the hallway and eventually the stairway and the downstairs.

Here are some pictures of where we are in her room so far.


PURPLE!!!!

Now we have two helpers.






Today I am going to finish the painting in this room and order the flooring.

More pictures to come!


Hey, the house that we are living at now is officially for sale.

Come and get it!!!

Here is my email address srgoin@yahoo.com.

Just email me if you are interested.

Lighting Redo

I bought this old light on eBay about a year ago for $12.00 including shipping.

Not much to look at.


Big Ran and I have been working on polishing this baby up on and off for about six months.

Here it is all torn apart after it was scrubbed and polished up.



This light was patented in May of 1910.

I can't believe we found a date on it.





This was a labor of love.



It's not perfect, but it is perfect for our house.




I can't wait to get this put up in the new house.

I'm thinking maybe the half bath room.
