How To Cover A TV...

This comes from the blog Color me Happy.

What a great idea and way to cover a TV... if the only place you have is over a fireplace.

Well I have just this problem.

I am thinking I can do this with a great mirror as well.

Bows

I just love love bows there is something so girly about them.

We had an incredible time last night at the wild west party..soooo much fun!

So now I am gearing up for the Oscars...the fashion, the films, the glitz and glamour.

I wonder who is going to take home best film!?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Giddy Up

Howdy all!!

I am so excited tomorrow Tony and I have been invited to a

"Wild West Party!"

It is a costume party...the first costume party I have been too in years!

I am sooooo ready to let loose... and have fun.

The winter has been long, the move is taking forever, and living in a 400 sq hotel room is now offically ...no fun.

Tony is going as a Saloon Bartender... I hope every one is dressing up.

Gosh,

I would hate to walk into the party and be the only in costume...it is tough when you are in a new city making friends.

I know if I was to have a Wild West Party back east.

All my friends would dress up and would have a laugh at doing so...

So fingers crossed.

Tomorrow we do not look like Wild West Idiots!

Just Being Audrey

So I just discovered this book for children about the life of Audrey Hepburn!

While reading about it on Pink Lemonade's Blog !

(So Darling)

(Insert Squeal)

What a great gift for any little girl at any age.

Hey, I have a sister in law you know who you are...that would also adore this book.

I guess it just came out the end of January.

The author is Margaret Cardillo...the illustrations are to die for.

Look out book club...I have an easy and pretty read coming through.

Chapters here I come.

Busy Valentine's Weekend!

So it has been a busy weekend here!

I am trying like mad to get into the house.. even had CeCe priming the stairwell!

In her Mid west gear.

The boots kill me!

I dashed out To Rona to look at lighting , plumbing etc....and was shocked that it was so great!

I have never been there before I loved looking around!

While back at the ranch Big T was painting.

Yes we painted out the sickly green ceilings...ugh!

I am wanting to paint the stairs a crazy color.

I know...hard to believe for the gal that only dreams in white.

I was thinking of Palladian blue HC-144 or black...hmmmm.

Ok ...can we talk Homesense...I bought the chandelier above for 80 bones ..steal!

And two of these beauties below for a buck twenty five ($125)

Start the car!

Went and picked out tile for the bathroom which looks just like the kitchen picture below but worse as there is only floor joyces...yipes!!

Style at Home

Such a beautiful home.

I went out immediately to Home Sense and bought the silver compote to place my orchid's in.

So So lovely.

"Style At Home" magazine featured this house I think in their December issue.

I absolutely love every single detail of this home!

Honestly can we talk about the built in bench...Can you say brilliant!

Still on Wallpaper

Ok...so the top picture is wallpaper from Ballard's...

In my best sing songy voice

love it.

I also equally love it in this picture below.

Not sure which Canadian magazine I copied it from.

Gosh ...my memory has been brutal lately.

Anyways

I am thinking of putting this in my front porch.

Swoon!
