It was another gorgeous day here today....mid 70's...sunshine....puffy clouds...A Sunday to remember....

I thought I would show everyone my finished Family room....walls newly painted...hutch and entertainment center painted black.....I paired down on some of my prim accessories and Longaberger baskets....

The walls were a dark walnut paneling....painted them Montgomery Umber from Valspar....It really lightened up the room considerably...























This is my quilt shelf that I had already painted black....added homespun instead of a quilt.











These two pics are of my front and side windows....I bought Burgundy plaid curtains from Country House and add my beige sheers from JC Penneys underneath...











This is a prim arrangement that I have on top of the entertainment center.....








I have so many projects that I want to get done this summer....Tomorrow is June 1 already....Summer will be over before we know it......So everyone have a great week ahead....I'll be busy painting and doing some makeovers....hopefully I will get them posted later in the week...

Happy Tuesday everyone....I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day.....We had are usual cookout on Sunday with family....It was beautiful here all weekend...sunshine and in the 80's....

We've been working allot out in my flowers beds this past week since the weather was just gorgeous all week long.....I went to Lowe's and bought some more perennials for my flower beds....got them planted and mulched ....I made a new bed of perennials down at the lower end of our yard....it has to be mulched yet and I need to get some mountain stone gathered up for around it.....and some prim's added before its completed......It's calling for rain here for the next couple of days so I guess it will have to wait for a bet to get done.

I started painting my downstairs bathroom/laundry room on Saturday....I got the shower wall done and put up my new Country House shower curtain....in Colonial star/Mustard...I bought the matching valance for the top to complete the look....I added my old wooden ironing board with a mustard towel and put my black star on the wall with the black Windsor chair in front of the ironing board.

Here's the finished product......



















I had the bathroom done in Americana....but got tired of the look so I am paining the walls and changing everything out.....The accessories are going to be done in mustard and black....I am fortunate enough to be able to paint and accessorize allot in my home....hubby just rolls his eyes when I start changing things around....He always comments how nice it looks afterwards...he's just not one for change....I'm just the opposite....

We'll I off to get somemore work done.....I hope everyone has a great day.....
Until next time.....Trena

DSL not working.....

Hello all my blogging friends....Sorry I haven't been on all week...our DSL went out last Saturday night after having a thunder storm and just got it back to working today.....I talked to a technician Monday morning and they had to send my a new modem which took until Thursday....Tried to get it working last night to no avail...so had to call them back and they had to dispatch a phone repairer ....finally after six days without my pc I am back up and running..

I've been getting alot of my yard work done this week...Carport cleaned and all summer decor gotten out....Washed down the front porch to get rid of all the winter dirt..

Hopefully all is well with everyone....Off to get some more housework done....Have a great evening....
Until next time..
