An Ode To The Nester…

Otherwise Known as… I want to live in her bedroom!!!  🙂

 Okay.. now that I’ve caught your attention.. I just want to post a few pictures for a fellow blogger, The Nester @ The Nesting Place.  Her recent Blog, Window Mistreatments:401 has me totally capitvated.. I want her style, I want her windows.. I want her bedroom!! 

  Anyway, I commented on her blog, and asked her to come over to check out “the Expensive Quilt” aka, My Bedroom.  I just want some gooood suggestions on what kind of fabric I should look for to “Mis-treat” my windows in there.  Right now I have some Sheers that I am not happy with.  The main problem is, I live in the NORTH, NORTH, NORTH… and in the summer, it stays light outside till after 10:00 at night.  So, I can’t just have bare windows… the room darkening blinds just don’t darken enough..

  So, indulge me, look at my bedroom, and offer ANY suggestions of fabrics that would look good with the “Expensive Quilt”.  Meaning.. I can’t possibly change the bedding, because I spent WAAAAAAAY to much money on this quilt.. and I have to use it for at least 10 years to feel like I got my money’s worth!!  I have to tell you.. the pictures are a couple of weeks old.  The shelf over the bed is outside in the garage, sanded down waiting to be painted, as are the other small shelf and the plate holders.  I’m painting them black.  Also.. the stuff on the chest of drawers is my husbands.. he has warned me not to remove them.. he needs 4 square feet of space in our home!!  Als0 remember.. I live in Military housing.. so the room is SMALLLLLLL!!!

Don’t mind the pants hanging off of the bed.. that is a normal sight around here!! 

FIRE AWAY!!!

Today was the day…

Actually, the day that every woman dreds.  Today was the day that the Underwire on my last good underwire bra snapped in half.  Of course, it did this while I was at my Daughter’s School Volunteering.  And of course, I live in a town where Wal Mart and K Mart are the only places to shop.. yes, I’m serious.. yes, I hate that!  And yes.. I should have not waited till I was down to my last underwire bra.  I do have a few others, but they give me a uni-boob, so I don’t wear them often.   So, after I left the school I headed to Wal Mart.  Ugh.. I hate buying bras, but definitely hate buying them somewhere that I don’t get a great fit or a decent bra for my money.  I found ONE, yes ONE underwire minimizer bra in my size.  I bought it.. 18.95  or something.  Its just okay.. it will work, and I can use it as a spare.  But, I WILL head off this blasted island this weekend and go to a department store and get some nice bra’s.  Hopefully someone is having a sale!!!

Let’s see.. anything else??  OH!!  I finished my daughter’s furniture!  I have it all moved in.. here are the pic’s…  (except her desk chair.. it needs a new seat!)  Don’t you just love the Crazy Daisy Quilt???  My Mom made it for her!  She’s finishing up a Matching Dust Ruffle and some Pillow Shams that match.  I Can’t Wait!!!  One of my friends loaned me the dust ruffle on there now.  Her bedframe broke when we moved here.. so for now she has two boxsprings holding her up.  I kind of like that she can’t stuff things under there!!  I’m getting a new one this weekend..but I think I’ll keep both of the box springs on there to make her bed “high”… 

That’s it!!!  I’m VERY happy about how everything turned out.  Its so nice and bright in there.. especially great on Gloomy Cloudy Washington Days!!  Next project.. the 14 year old Boy’s room!!

  Dinner tonight.. as if anyone is still reading.. is Grilled Chicken Sandwiches.. I think I said that yesterday.. I’m rambling.  Have a good one everyone!
