A Woman's Work is never Done....


but, ain't it fun when you're decorating, nesting and fluffing to beat the band...!!!
************
Hi, everyone.... Hope u had a good weekend. We surely did.

I've been fluffing and nesting and laying eggs making my closet room sooo pretty.


I shared with you the vanity Mr. Sweet built for me in there.


He also built the stacking washer/dryer closet...

Since this room was painted a dark color....
and no window to be found,
it was sooo dark in there.
I smiled, twisted around a bit, and promised him a delicious cake,
if Mr. Sweet would add a window....
and he said OF COURSE....
was it the smile and twisting or the promise of a CAKE that did the trick,
I'll never know for sure.
(However, at our olden age, I'm pretty sure he was thinkin' of a
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE,
his very favorite...lol

 Regardless as to WHY....
our new window is IN....

I brought my vintage black shutters from the olden house and Mr. Sweet installed 2 of them on either side of the large opening, into the closet room....

and I am IN LUV. !

I propped up the other two shutters beside the new window..

yes, they are TALL shutters...

and I wanted them beside this window sooo bad...

but can not bring myself to cut them off....
just can't do it...what if, later, I decided I wanted to make a screen with these vintage shutters.....nope.....not gonna cut them.

So, here they are...

long, tall Sally Shutters...

average length window...











THIS is what I
WANT...
NEED...
COVET........
It's called a LUCKY 7 table...

Wouldn't it look AMAZING in this space beneath the new window...!!!!





But....wait a minute....

...here's a little table.....a BASKET TABLE,
that I already have....


 I can add this 7 to the little basket and....


 have my own little LUCKY 7 TABLE.....

O, I do love it when I can shop the house and not spend one single red penny
to create a new look that I just looove......:)
 

You can bet that I am going to be looking for a nice little table and have
MR. SWEET
make it look just like the LUCKY 7 table I am dreaming of.


In the meantime, I am lovin' how the little BASKET table looks in my spruced-up space.


and I love having extra drawer space...


Have I told you lately how much I LOVE this pretty and fun SUMMER HOUSE..? 

XOXO,
bj

Dreams come true ALL THE TIME.....:>)

After all...here I am, living in a DREAM COME TRUE house....

  3. Your joy exudes through this wonderful post. Oh, lady, I couldn't be happier for you both. Seriously lovin that new window - so much natural light now, whoo hoo! The "Sally Shutters" look great as is framing it so nicely. And to be honest? Not to impede your dream table, but I think your basket table looks better. It really does, bj!

    WELL DONE, WHOO HOO SO SO HAPPY!!!

  4. I like those long shutters on either side of your new window just as they are! Very striking with a black table or basket shelves under the window.

  8. You are house whispering again! What a great addition the window is and I can not believe how adding a cute little 7 tag to your table makes it so stinkin' cute that it is better than the inspiration piece.

  9. Oh yes, that is what I need to do! Shop the house! And I love the table under the window. It's perfect. Also, is anything cuter than those darling blue birds in the first photo??? So cute!

  10. You have done a lot in your new house. It must be pretty big. I bet if you find a table I would know who would paint it like the number 7 one. Happy Spring.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
