The Pink Rooster and The Pink Room!

Happy Friday, my little chicks!!

Painter finished and I started putting stuff away. Here's the room as I've started to hang things back on the walls and moved what I could back into place. Hubs will have to help me later. Don't ya just love that pink?!?! My office looks like a cupcake now. LOL

Some of you may remember my trip to California in July to visit kids and my "junket to the junque stores"! Well, if so, you might remember this post about the antique store and this little french rooster shelf. It was always meant to be painted so I did it while the painter painted my office/computer room. I'm hanging the "Pink Rooster" in there to hold whatever, but I think he needs to be in that room, don't you?!?!

I'm so excited about the pink room and these roses I could just squeeeeealll!!! Hah. But look at these perfect roses from today. Are they not gorgeous?!?!?!

Guess what???? They're not real! Yesssss, true!!! I found these roses while shopping the other day, and they are so real looking and feel so real that I could absolutely fool anyone with them. If I put a drop or two of rose scented oil in the center no one could tell they weren't an actual rose. You've got to click to enlarge them to see them up close!

Well, off to "fluff" up the office some more. Ooooooh, I have some roses to stick on the wall up around the ceiling as soon as they arrive. THIS is a girly room!

Secret Little Spaces ;-)

Let's take a peek into some tiny, and maybe some not so tiny, spaces to sit and while away some "thinking" time or to curl up with your favorite magazine or to maybe just stretch out on the sofa or swing and take an afternoon nap. I believe all the rooms featured here qualify.

Just so cottage in its style with all the elements it brings to mind - comfy and cushy sofa, luxurious toss pillows, flowery curtains swagged back to reveal sunlight.

What child wouldn't be delighted with "time-out" if this was their spot for their punishment. ;-)

Oh be still my heart...... an indoor porch swing!! And I love the purple and lavendar color.

White and light is the order of the day in this relaxing corner of her world. Lots of color in the pillows and other accessories. Dreammmmmmmm

This just might be a little girls bedroom OR even a big girls bedroom! I'd take it for a family room even. Pretty flowery curtains and a roses daybed. My kind of room!

I just love this little spot with its cozy chair and pillow, flowers, bookcase for vintage tomes and a "peek-a-boo" little leaded window and a little footstool. I always, ALWAYS provide footstools for my visitors! Charming!

Would you look at this window seat? Isn't it lovely?! I could really spend an afternoon on that one with a cup of cocoa. It even has its own light. Gorgeous.......

Pink Room So Far Today.........

I love this color!!! Oh my gosh, can I see the whole house painted in this color or what?!??! Yesssssssss! Painter had some "employee" problems this morning and will have to come back tomorrow to finish up but this color is Yummmmmy. Lowe's Valspar Cupid's Arrow. Just absolutely lovely. Here's the room so far today.....

Laaazzzy Day

Just being lazy today and posting what I got in the mail. Thank you, Katie! They are gorgeous roses!!! I'll show what I do with them when I figure out what I'm gonna make.

I was given these adorable crocheted potholders a couple of years ago. Aren't they adorable? They are so cute in person.

Notice Something Strange Here??

I decided to look in the back of the fridge today and what do I see?! Just take a look. We mark all our food with a date. I think it's time to throw it OUT. Eleven years and still not eating it should say something about how much jelly and jams we use. Looks a bit suspicious to me when it starts turning white........sugar, perhaps?? Doesn't look like anything growing...... Oooooh, BTW, my office is in such a jumble that's the only place I could find in here to photograph it - the paint shelf!! :-)
