Loving This Cupboard Painted White!

I've had this cupboard for quite a few years,

I looove it's shape and handmade look, but

a few years ago I painted it to match the

slipcover on my sofa when I was using more

color. Now that I'm back to painting most

of my beloved treasures WHITE, I've fallen

in love with this sweet gem all over again

with her new coat of WHITE, big thanks to

my MacGiver for painting it for me!

I've just noticed it's missing a knob, when my

sweetie was putting the knobs on, he had to

drill a couple out and this one broke...darn,

now I have to visit a couple antique stores

to find a replacement....;)

My little cottage plaque above this

cupboard looks a bit dark, I think

it needs to be moved, I just love it's

sweet message though.

Here's a picture after my MacGiver

sanded this cupboard down, so it's just

the shadow of how it was, but you

get the idea and see how it's been

transfored into such a beauty in WHITE!

Here's some of my Hull Pottery Collection

I don't activly collect it anymore, but I still

think it's beautiful, I was drawn to

the simple beauty of the flowers with the pastel

colors they used.

Vintage Vanity REmake, REstyle and REused!

A while back we decided to replace the vanity

in our bathroom. One weekend we set off

looking for a vintage vanity that would fit

everything we were looking for! It needed

several drawers, large mirror and above

all else a SWEET COTTAGE FEEL!

It didn't take us long to find our little gem!

It has 6 drawers, drop down mirror with

two side moveable mirrors...perfectly adorable

for our space!

We then decided on a vessel sink and found

a green clear glass one with a vintage look,

we thought it was a bargain at a $100.00.

We picked out new flooring and my MacGiver

installed it beautifully and added gorgeous

new trim along the floor to finish it off.

A couple of days after that, we were

snooping through one of our favorite local

thrift stores and there sitting on the floor was the

most awesome vintage Art Deco sink!!!

I couldn't get to it quick enough and almost fell

over when I saw the price...$9.98! Needless to

say, we scooped it up. (When we paid for it we

found out it was 50% off, what a bargain)!!!

We took back the vessel sink and my

MacGiver was only too happy to adjust

our sweet little vanity to accommodate

our new vintage sink! Our bathroom looks

twice the size now, because our old vanity

went down to the floor, and our new

vanity has legs that show more flooring

giving it such a spacious look!

I couldn't fit the whole vanity in this picture,

but you get the main idea of how it looks,

~*~

I

just

looove

it!

This sits behind the loo, and houses vintage

collectibles, I think it looks out of place now,

it's to the right of the vanity mirror...

What do you think?

Maybe painted WHITE?

This is my window, I have a thing for vintage frogs...

Oh, and have I told you, I looove pansies?

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

My cousin called and invited us to a Seattle Mariners baseball

game, but they weren't just any ole tickets, they were

VIP tickets in a suite!

WooHoo, we'd never been privy to suite tickets

before, how cool was this! Her hubby works for the Mariner's

and she's told us before to let her know when we'd like to go,

but this was a complete surprise. Her Dad (my uncle) went,

her bro (my cousin) and his wife, her hubby took the day off

(because when the Mariners are in town he works), but this

was special with them inviting people to join them in the 'suite'!

vs.

When we got there, we found not only was it the coolest of

cool, with awesome beautiful padded roll away chairs outside

in a cozy little balcony with three rows of seating, but the suite

inside had a table in the center full of yummy foods like a

wonderful layered dip and chips, a fruit tray, peanuts, hot dogs,

pizza, coffee and juice! Later they even delivered fresh brownies

to top off our afternoon!

~the pizza and hot dogs are on another counter~

A person came and got the kids and whisked them away, only to

return with ice cream sundae's! Then another person came in

to deliver calendar's and posters for the kiddos...

but the best surprise of all was...

~The Mariner Moose~

For me though even though I looove the Moose!

I got a small shot of Jay Buner who was there

as a guest, which was cool and 'The Kid'

Ken Griffey Jr. had the day off...dern, but

a highlight for me was seeing Ichiro play and

watch

him

stop 

a

HOMERUN!

No kidding, he ran back to the fence and jumped

up*up*up and nabbed the ball just before it

went over the fence!!! YEAH! I've seen him

do it while watching tv, but neva in person!

(Did I mention, we were just above 1st. base)?!!

~Gotta Looove him~

~His famous ritual~

WooHoo!

After nine innings and the Mariners having the only score,

sadly enough, they lost it in the 11th. inning...yeppers 11th.

Texas beat us 3-1...(some nasty errors)

but,

I'm not pointing any fingers...

We still had an AWESOME DAY

at the ball park!

A huge shout out to my cousin's Barb & Eric and Christopher too!

Thanks a million for such a special day! Big hugs!

Always, Debbie~
