Taking it Slow...

My camera ain't great, and I can already tell I am going to have to invest in a better one, but I am going to"ATTEMPT" to post some photos of my home. Let's start in the kitchen, shall we?This is my pub table and chairs, which I fell in love with, but not the fabric that was on here, so I recovered the seats in this fabric...

...which I love! My cat Chloe, chose this moment to make her exit! lol

This is my kitchen window and the shelf above it. I am a lover of "things", chotchskies, if you will. I absolutely LOVE rabbits and they are everywhere in my house.

This is the right side...

This is the left side...

from the doorway. My husband made the island for me from a picture I saw in a magazine, and I just love it. My kitchen isn't huge, but it is perfect for me. Now on to the den...

the mantle...

cozy reading chair by the window...

Is this rabbit not hilarious!?! He is my favorite rabbit! Notice the shoes....this is one classy dude. I tell my husband if there is ever a fire, after the family and pets are out, I'm going back in for my rabbit! His "bloomers" are velvet! I found him in a shop in Birmingham called Plantation House. I loved that shop and they aren't open anymore and I miss it! My husband makes fun of this rabbit all the time, but I don't care....I love him :)

I found this secretary thingy in a consignment shop and had to have it. I thought about painting it, and I may do it, but right now, I am just studying it. My husband put lights in it because I kept telling him it was too dark inside! doors open...I covered the back wall with fabric...this is a second den we have. My son calls it the "cubbie". It's where the boys go to hang with friends. I love this sofa and found it at the Salvation Army for $149.00! I saw it in the window on my way home from work one day and was there the next morning when they opened and bought that puppy! I am in the process of making a cornice board to go on the window behind it.

the buffet in my dining room. There is a glare, but I love the rabbit under the cloche. Not sure I am entirely happy with this yet...

foyer...

Thank you all so much for taking the time to look at my home. If you see anything glaring that I should change or tweaks, please let me know. It is nice to have someone else's expert eyes look at your spaces. Have a great weekend!

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

I am a 49 year old legal secretary who is feeling incredibly stupid in my feable endeavor of creating this Blog! I am apparently illiterate in the computer world! It has taken me forever to get this far and it has not been pretty! I have a very PLAIN blogscape thus far! Forget Mr. Linky He is a pipe dream at this point!

I am married to the most wonderful husband in the entire world! He is not my first one (unfortunately)...no, he isn't my second husband either..........(geesh, I am already confessing everything here!) He is LUCKY husband number 3!! And, I might add, the LAST one!

I have two gorgeous sons ages 19 and 16 who are the greatest things I have ever done! Seth is a freshman in college and Cameron is a sophomore in high school. We have three fabulous felines which we adore, and they are older than dirt. Chloe is 13, Sissie is 13, and Simon is 12. My boys always wanted a dog, and I would tell them "when something happens to the cats we will ge a dog." Seth said, "My grandchildren will know Chloe!" He may be right!

My love is decorating and redecorating, and then redecorating some more. I love thrift stores, yard sales, TJ Maxx, Homegoods and Marshalls to name a few. I have ALWAYS got a project going on, and if it involves measurements, or anything that needs to be precise, my DH does that part for me. I am terrible about just "rounding off" and in certain areas, this is not such a good idea. He can do anything, and is very patient with me....mostly.

Well, as I begin this new venture, I hope to share some ideas, get some ideas and make new friends all over! We will see how it goes. I predict much cursing under my breath as I try to make this thing do what I need for it to do with minimal aggravation....not feeling good about it...

A new door opens......it's nice to meet you :)
