Fancy Photos


While at Bassett Furniture to pick up our new couches I spied these photos hung up in one of their faux display rooms.  I am always drawn towards the monochromatic look.   Plus with the gold frames these were right up my alley.
I immediately knew I needed them.  {Ok maybe not needed but really, really wanted}  The sales lady told me the price at which I was even more excited and I snatched them up as quickly as I could before Clint noticed.  I shoved them into the truck while he wasen't looking, brought them home and hung them up while he was away on a trip.
Now I don't know why I felt I needed to "secretly" buy them or "secretly" hang them up. {Obviously he was going to see them.  They are hanging right above our bed.}  My C-Thomp does not care when I buy things for the house-never has.  In fact he is always so supportive of my decorating.  I guess I felt guilty for already getting couches and adding some pictures to the mix.
I really should have had Clint hang them up though.  He is much better at getting things even and straight.  Plus I hung them a little too high for my liking.  I guess I'll leave the hanging to my husband from now on.

Be Our Guest

This little guy thinks he needs two bedrooms. Apparently one room is needed to house his toys and clothes. The other room, our guest bedroom, is for sleeping.However, I don't blame him. Why sleep on a toddler bed when you can enjoy a big comfy queen sized bed.

If any of you would like to make the trek out to our home and be our guest, the little man will surely give up his lap of luxury. The bed and side table were previously my grandmother's. I painted them an antique white. The desk is from the thrift store. A $45 find. The chair is from a consignment shop. I covered the headboard and chair cushion in the same fabric.
This mirror has been several colors. At first it was black, then I painted it gold, and now it has new life in cream.

Please come and be our guest. We would love to have you. We will even turn down the sheets and leave a mint on your pillow.
