Simple Pleasures: February 2012

Giveaway Time ...

A few weekends ago, I made a bunch of bowl fillers, tapers and eggs. So I thought I would share the love by doing a giveaway. I will be giving you a wooden bowl filled with 4 primitive/country eggs and a little surprise! Here's a quick picture:

Family Heirloom

After carpentry work, before cleaning and oiling.

After

My cousin Linda asked me if I would like our Aunts Blanket chest and I was thrilled. It needed some TLC as my Aunt is soon to be 101 years old, so I'm sure this chest is around 80-85 years old. My son did some carpentry work to stabilize it and I have oiled it about 10 times trying to help the aging wood. I think it looks awesome and am so grateful to my cousin for thinking of me! It now sits in my family room, I will show you pictures soon.

My Prim Bathroom

I just finished redecorating my main bathroom on a budget. I found the shower curtain on sale for 30.00 at Farmers Daughter in Sandwich. I bought a matching wash cloth and hand towel and used the hand towel to trim some mustard towels I purchased on sale from Target. I found the wall plaque and basket for .99 each, the wall cabinet for 2.99 and the little table for 4.99 all from Goodwill. I had the barn star and I made the soap dispenser with things I already had. I purchased the braided rug for 25.00 from Beth's Country Prim store, she has an awesome selection and great customer service, click here to check out her online store. (I purchased some other things from her and finished my bedroom, I'll show that soon) And after a long search, found the wall mirror at Kirklands for 21.00. I just noticed that I forgot to repaint the curtain hooks, I will do them in black. I really like the way it turned out. What do you think ? Not bad for under $100.00.

Plain and Simple Bedroom

I wish I could remember where I found this picture of my dream bedroom! Because I love it! It's plain and simple and would be so cozy to snooze in. (If this is your room, you are sooo lucky, lol)
