Projects!!!!

Our house has been quiet on the project list lately but that is about to change!!! Since we have finished the pantry ,I have been on the lookout for a special door.In my original vision I wanted an old rustic door hung on a barn door track. I searched Craigslist occasionlly and finally found a door I really liked.It was located by a town not far from where Paloma lives.I emailed the owner but never heard back.I fell in love with that door and especially the price(it was $40).Fast forward to last weekend,we went to a flea market that Paloma has been wanting us to go to by her house. I specifically wanted to find a door for the pantry and really didn't want to spend over $40 since I had found one for that price before. When going to a flea market you never know what to expect.One man's junk is another man's treasure,lol!!! At first I didn't see any doors and almost gave up hope.My husband said we would probably find some good stuff torward the back in an out of the way section and he was so right!!! I saw a pale pink door that caught my eye!!!At first I thought it was too narrow for the door but there were two narrow doors that almost matched. Originally these doors were parlor doors but the lady had painted one door pink and added chicken wire to a window that had broke.The other door was striped of its original paint but had both the frosted windows in tact. She was selling the pink door for $55 and the other one $45 but since I wanted both doors she would sell them to us for $50.So I bought the set for $50. I was happy ,since these doors are narrow we will be putting two doors in the pantry. I am always impressed at how the universe provides and brings to me things that are better than I have envisioned!!!!For mother's Day we will put up the doors!! I am super excited to have the final jewel to the pantry.I have decided I am going to add a little trim to the pink door around the chicken wire and leave the other door raw. Here are photos of the doors.

D.I.Y. Cupcake Stand /Jewelry Holder

Hi everyone!!!We have been so busy over here with family stuff.Paloma moved to another area with her family this weekend and we helped her move.As always moving is stressful and takes a lot of time and energy.We also did extra work with our hair clients so it seems like we are behind on our pantry project. So I have been wanted to get my creative juices going and have wanted to make my own version of a 3 tiered cupcake stand and a cake plate.I have seen photos posted on instagram. Well I finally made mine and they turned out really cute!!! I filmed a tutorial for my YouTube channel so I will insert it at the end.

Pantry photos

We didn't work on our pantry this week.We were just too busy.Although, so far the electrical wiring is in and the subfloor is almost finished.We decided to tear off the ceiling and will have a vaulted ceiling like in the kitchen.Hopefully this weekend we can start drywalling the ceiling and install a light fixture. While browsing Lowell's this weekend I stumbled upon a very large chandelier that was totally awesome for the price of $35.It was on mega sale.I convinced hubby that we could use the light fixture from the dining room which if really small (for the pantry)and buy the huge chandelier for the dining room.He agreed and I can't wait to install and show you guys.I was so happy I found it!!!!! My other special bargain find was a vintage sofa from a thrift store for $40.It reminded me of the blue sofa I had before that ended up breaking but this one isn't as ornate.It was in mint condition but just yesterday Yoshi chewed a hole in it!!!! I was so upset but I was planning on reupholstering it eventually.I covered up the spot he chewed up so it is still functional.My plan is to reupholster it in raspberry pink velvet.I will probably wait two years until he is totally trained.Here are a few photos!!!!!

Spring Cleaning Part 2

So I finally got around to deep cleaning my dressing room. I love my little space that is completely my own!!!! My hubby would say that the whole house is mine but this is the one place no one else can mess up but me!!!!! In winter this room is the coldest spot and this year I found a little space heater /fireplace that is perfect.I noticed that I have spending more and more time in there ,lol.

Last year my hubby bought me a pink makeup cube to store my makeup.I have been collecting new items and it is such an awesome storage system.I mostly put my higher end makeup in there and I use my other pink storage drawers for my drugstore makeup. I love all brands Chanel,YSL,Jane Irdale,Loreal and Wet and Wild(to name a few).I don't discriminate.That said it is a challenge to store and organize.So today I went through every drawer and reorganized.

I love makeup and I go through phases of wearing it and not wearing it.I finally realized what it is that I love about it.It is a ritual for me ,sacred time to take care of myself.I feel better and feel more put together when I have makeup on.I notice people react different to me when I have it on.Do

n't get me wrong I still feel beautiful when I am not wearing it.I like how I look naturally.I am lucky to have good skin.I just appreciate the time for myself when I make an effort to 'beautify". I have also love to try new beauty products and I have to say technology just gets better and better.There are so many primers,powders,lotions and potions that I am learning about so it has been fun to experiment.Any way ,back to cleaning.I spent a few hours dusting,wiping,vacuuming and rearranging.Now it is shiny and perfect just how I like it!!!!

Favorite spot

Living in our 100+ year old home as we renovate brings many joys.There is always a new spot to discover !!!! Currently my new favorite is the front porch. This area has become a new haven,a place to relax and dream!!!! I love to sit out there in the early morning drinking my cup of tea and read a book or visit my favorite blogs on my laptop. The swing is so much more comfortable than I could of imagined(hard to believe)!!! Last week I purchased a new hot pink chandelier that I have envisioned for a while.The original website (that I found the pink chandelier)had been sold out for at least a year so I finally decided someone had to also sell it. I found the smaller version of the same chandelier and was so happy to finally buy it. I hung it up myself since this is a plug in one( no electrician needed). Now I can enjoy sitting out there in the evening.
