Hi Friends ~

I am so excited to share my new baking station ~

New Baking Station

It all started with a vision – I looked at so many pictures on Pinterest & Houzz –  I had a space in my kitchen use for the pantry, but I just kept filling it up with all kinds of things, some things I never used – I really wanted a baking station, so my wonderful husband created this for me.  I had the vision, and he build it for me.

What it looked like with the shelves

More shelves

Everything out – starting with a clean slate ~

What a mess ~ everything out of the old pantry – here you can see the door still intact, also the spice rack on the door is now on the left side inside the closet ~

New Cart in progress ~

Another view ~

The cart was purchased at WayFair.com

Now totally completed ~ It is just want I had in mind.    A huge Thank You to Pete for creating this special place for me.

It also give the kitchen a larger feel.

Took the door off ~ now it looks like it has always been there.

Put a piece of pegboard on the right side – It’s such a great invention – holds many things that were inside the pantry – The small shelves 18″ long are what made the space.

I am so happy with how this all turned out.

Here you see the left side of the Baking Station this is where the spice rack is now ~

Hi All ~

Hope you are enjoying your day today ~

I purchased these 4 herb boxes through ~ Decor Steals ~  www.decorsteals.com  a few weeks ago.  They were delivered on Thursday.  I was so excited to get them in just the perfect place.

I noticed them on Pinterest, and loved how they were displayed, but everyone home is different.  This is why it took me a few tries before I found the right spot for them.

I think they look great on my small sofa table, because I can keep them all together ~ Two on the bottom, and two on top.

I’m very happy with how they came out.

Just added the faux plants and a few little faux flowers ~

Have a wonderful day.

Much love,

Rose

As you can see …… this is our guest bath-

We painted it the same color as the one wall in the Guest Room

It’s very pretty soft green… 

Who knew you could find so many bird houses in green.

They were all purchased in Hobby Lobby – along with everything you see on the walls.. Really love that place.

Purchased the shower curtain, small garbage canister, tissue box & soap dispenser in Bed Bath & Beyond…

Hope as always you’ve enjoyed my post.

Much love,

Rose 

GUEST ROOM

This has to be one of my favorite rooms.  The pink and green and the lace curtains just make this room so inviting.

The little chairs was Pete’s when he was small – we just had this reupholstered and repaired (the seat was so old you couldn’t sit in it) – Now guests can and read a book or have a cup of tea.

I made the sign on the door…Purchased the wood at Michael’s and painted it the same color as the walls in the hall then used a paint pen (also Michael’s)  and added the words to it…so simple…..

The “DO NOT DISTURB” sign – I made many years ago when I was into cross stitch.  I recently picked it up again.. I forgot how much I enjoyed it…

Hope you enjoyed the tour of the Guest Bedroom

Much love,

Rose

Shelf in the Kitchen – A little different then the fall pictures – Just change out a few things

Here is my little snow lady

Small table in the Dining Room – Changed out a few thing for the Christmas season

The glass jar is from Pottery Barn and just filled with small ball ornaments – little snow man in the background

Better picture of the Christmas Ball ornaments.

Close up of the snow man – He is one of my favorites – Was given to me about 5 yrs ago as a Christmas gift.

These pictures have been so much fun taking and loading for you all to see…Have a wonderful Christmas Season..

Much love

This has lots of memories – this was Kristin & Aly’s sled long time ago – which makes it so special to display at our front door

Close up of the holly and box wood. Oh and the pretty bow.

Front door wreath.

Another close up of the wreath and the pretty bow

THE FRONT ENTRY

FAMILY ROOM (CHRISTMAS 2013) Looks a bit different from other pictures I have posted – Pete really likes the F/R this way. I have to say I do too

MANTLE My Christmas sign was purchased in a wonderful little craft store right here in upstate NY

CLOSE UP OF MY SNOWLADY I have her for 10 years.

MORE SNOW PEOPLE So many of these little snowmen have been in my life for so long. I love collecting them (as you can see)

MORE ORNAMENTS

ON TOP OF WALL UNIT

This is my favorite – this window came from the house I grew up in so it has so much meaning and the wreath looks so pretty

Love this little pillow – Pottery Barn

Easy gift wrapping – All you need is a nice box and a real pretty bow.

This is our Family Room – 2013 – Christmas
