HEY GIRL!!!

So have you heard about the totally fun linky party that's going on right now.  It's called Hey Girl and it's so fun I just had to get in on it.  Stop over at Bliss Ranch to find out what it's all about and get in on the fun. Hurry though, the party ends Sunday.  Hope to see you there.

So here's my take(s) on this fun Valentine's party...

Awww, isn't that so sweet and how about this sweet Valentine's message from my baby boy...

And finally, I couldn't close this special Hey Girl linky party post without a little love letter from the president...Enjoy!

Ha, I just couldn't resist.  He has such a nice smile!

MAKING A STATEMENT...

They say..."they" being professional designers...that every room should have a "STATEMENT PIECE"...that being a special, one-of-a-kind piece of art, fabulous accessory or lighting.  Each room should have one something special!!  Well, the other day I found that something special for sis's room...and so without further ado...

...the piece de resistance

When I spotted this guy at a local thrift store I just had to have him.  I knew he was perfect for this spot atop sis's lingerie chest.  He's tall, white and large enough to fill the space perfectly but I was hesitant at first to put something like this in my home...you may laugh, but seeing as how our home is a Christian home, I didn't know if displaying a "greek god" is something I was comfortable doing, but I bought him anyway.  There's just something so captivating about him...don't you agree?

Well, it turns out he's no greek god after all.  I did a little googling to see if I could find out "who" this fellow is and of all things...he's MOSES of the bible...

Sorry this is not a very good pic, but this is the same statue and check out the price for this guy...$149.00.  There were other sites that had him for $175.00.  Ridiculous!!!! I only paid $10.00 for him.  The hubs says I paid about $10.00 too much lol, but I think I got a bargain and he certainly does make a statement.

So tell me, what "statement" pieces do you have in your home?

NOT QUITE A REVEAL...

HELLO....HELLO....HELLO (in tune to the three stooges...remember them?  Hilarious comedy!)  So HELLO, how are you all today?  Great, I hope!

Okay, so I know I told you all the other day that I would show you the reveal of sis's room in the next month or so.  Well...I still have a ton of unfinished projects to do in that room and it will probably take way longer than a month to complete them all so....I decided that I would show you the room thus far.  Sound good?  Yes, yes it does.  So here goes...

As you can tell, I still have tons of unfinished business in here.  I will be reupholstering the chair as soon as I find the right fabric.  I am looking for art and accessories for that area of the room too.  I am still undecided on whether or not I want to just paint the bed or upholster it...and then there's the little matter of what color.  I tell ya...decisions, decisions.  They can be so hard sometimes.

I have foiled a small chest of drawers seen in the left hand corner of the pic below...When I say "foiled" that's exactly what it means....I mod podged household aluminum foil onto a plain old, nothing special chest of drawers.  Applied a little black craft paint to distress (or age it) and then finished with a top coat of mod podge to preserve and protect the finish.  I will show you close up, more detailed pics of that later.

I still have not purchased new knobs for it yet though.  The ones I want are about $5 ea. so it may be a while before I get them seeing as how I need 6 total.  I have yet to foil the bookcase and I am looking for different lamps.  I spray painted some mix matched thrift store lamps orange for now, but I am not sure that I am liking how they turned out.  Not sure what I am going to do there yet.

I have moved the metal medallion since taking these pics and will show you where to later.  For now that corner of the room is pretty much "blech".  Like I said I need to reupholster the chair and decide on art and accessories for that part of the room.

Looking back toward the door, you can see the painted lingerie chest.  That area has been changed up a bit since taking these pics and I hope to show you that soon.   There is still a lot to do but so far I am really liking this room.  More importantly, Sis is loving it and that makes me happy.

See you soon with more updates.  Until then...have a fantastic Jesus filled day...as my old pastor would say.
