Bathroom shelf







On  Monday, Mark and I got the shelf up that I made plus two glass shelves on the wall above the hand towel.  When I get home next week hopefully I will get my decorating all finished in the bathroom,  I have some more shelves to make!  I love my nail gun!

Guest room #2 Decorated

I was working on guest room #2 before our company came this past weekend, just because I wanted it finished!  So here you have it... mostly done, yes I need to put the knob back on the door to the 3rd floor plus we need to take the door off and plane it!  The mirror is repurposed from the old bathroom!  Mark cut the trim and put a frame around it!  Cool huh?  The desk was trimmed out in green paint to cover up the gold.... the lamps were from the living room- they were gold and I spray-painted them silver and cleaned the shades!  The nightstand on the left had been an avocodo green and I painted it and put new hardware on it!  The nightstand on the right of the bed I made out of wood scraps!  AND the shelf above the bed is repurposed wood that was from some old woodwork.....  So here it is mostly finished!  The bedding is Shabby Chic from Target!

paint and new hardware can make a difference!


the spray painted lamps!

the shelf is made from old wood work and painted, this is apt to be decorated differently when I get my stuff moved here!

the repurposed mirror (the mirror came out of the bathroom we are redoing) with framing added and the desk  without the gold and the door that needs me to put the knob back on but first I need to take the door off and plane it!

This nightstand held a plant as you came in the back door but has had a facelift!

the night stand I made out of scrap wood

Just a tiny peek

I have been busy decorating Guest Room # 2 and we have been working in the Bathroom, Mark trimming it out and I painting and decorating... I will give you a little sneak peak, I built shelves today for above the toilet and when I have finished painting them and get them hung up I will get all the pics taken!

So here you go... I found these cool little flower things at Target and painted them teal....hint, hint, the shower curtain is brown and teal....I believe the vinyl saying came from Michaels!

Happy Birthday

Gary 6/29/52-4/26/03


Mark
How can it be that the two men I have loved in my life share the same birthday?  June 29, 1952 Gary  was born and Mark !  Gary of course is in Heaven with our Heavenly Father and will remain in my heart forever... But our God is so good and faithful he gave me another kind, awesome, wonderful Christian man to fill my lonely days and to share my life with!  When I found out in about the 7th week into the relationship that he was born on the same exact date as Gary I knew for certain that God put Mark into my life..... because what are the odds that you would go through a lifetime and fall in love with someone with the same birthdate as your late husband? It was a confirmation of it being an absolute God thing! (I don't think for a minute that "just" happened!)   I do remember telling Mark that if Robbin had the same birthdate as me I was outa here! :) 

So thank you my precious Lord and Savior for placing these two wonderful men in my life!

Fun Time with Nana



I had the joy of staying with these two beautiful little girls while their Mommy and Daddy were away at the hospital having their baby brother!  They are so precious and I do miss seeing them on a daily basis since I moved away!  Don't worry they got a double dose of spoiling while I was there, although I think I was in a bit of trouble for letting them sleep with me, since they wanted to sleep with Mommy and Daddy when everyone came home from the hospital!  Sorry Amber!  This week Bible School is going on and the theme is
Saddleback Ridge.... HABC does an awesome job every year putting on Vacation Bible School... So Sunday morning when we went to Sunday School the girls wore their western outfits that looked adorable!  They went in toting little albums of their baby brother and it was so sweet watching them show everyone who would look and listen!  Thanks Amber and Dan for allowing me to spoil the girls!

Sweet New Life



Ashley took this one with my camera! Thanks Ashley!



These pictures were taken by Nana!
I am a Grandmother yet again!!! To another wonderful little baby boy!  Otto Lane Ramsey was born into this world on June 25, 2010 weighing 7 pounds and 12 ounces, and was 22 inches long...  I think it is so wonderful when a name is given to a child that has "history" behind it!! The history comes from both sides of this awesome little family!

I promised pictures of the bathroom and here they are....

I know I promised pictures of the bathroom.... EVEN though we are not finished completely I will go ahead and post these.... (we still have trim, caulking and painting to do) I love the sink.... I had the cabinet sitting in an empty spot in my bathroom in Robinson and thought WOW we don't have much space in Mark's bathroom but I think this will work and by golly it did!   The bathroom is quite small and we will be making use of shelves that I will be building upon my return home!



Here is the tile job I did!  (thanks to years of learning on HGTV) ;)

So no we are not done but stay tuned and I will post the finished product sooooon! ;)
