Up To My Ears...

Hi all, hope your week is going well. 
Me? I'm up to my ears... in paint, patching, re-arranging, cleaning... You get the picture. My very special visitor will be here on Saturday and I'm so excited and nervous. I feel like I've been working on my house for weeks and it's still not the way I want it. 
The good thing about having guests, is that you get that "to do" list conquered, which is exactly what I've done. I finally finished painting my son's room after a year. What can I say, I ran out of paint. :)
I thought I'd show you a sneak peek of the new chandie I just made.


I got this bucket a few months back at the flea market and never really used it. Now it's the perfect chandie in my living room. I love it because I can put things on it with magnets. Love these vintage ledger sheets that Tracey from French Larkspur sent me. 
What do you think?

Well, wish me luck. I'll post again after Saturday, so everyone have a beautiful week.
Sincerely,
Melinda

  16. Oh, wow, what a fantastic idea! I sooo get it about the house guest. I had one recently, who by the way did not stay as long as I had prepared for, anyway, I ran around getting everything just right. The place looks fabulous: clean, smelling good, fresh flowers in the room she'd use... I even made a little gift bag for being my first guest in my new home. I had a blast. Good Luck. Have Fun!

I was doing the happy dance for you in the store while I hurriedly flipped to your pages! Congratulations again, and so well deserved! t. xoxoxoxxo
