*~*Welcome May*~*

As we are at the begining of May hopefully which is going to bring some sunny days I have lots on my drawing board.. I am busy with goodies, Bears and such for the summer fairs ahead.. I am joined with my daughter this year and our different styles seem to match perfectly.. She is very much into the vintage look while I still steer more to the simple/primitive well worn look style.. So far we have had great success in our selling and lots of orders are coming in which is a great moral boost.. I have been designing some more "Most Treasured" items which are proving very popular as they seem to fit into any kind of decor..

I have some home decor plans too and I will be updating my bathroom and doing a dining room make-over along with my bedroom.. As you all know I do work a full-time day job so will have to juggle my time slightly to fit all I have planned in.. I will be sharing home pics soon so pop back frequently..

I will leave you with some pics of my latest creations these still need a few finishing touches that need added..

Thank you for stopping by *~*blessings*~*

*~* SIMPLE STYLE BEDROOM MAKE-OVER *~*

After looking at lots of bedroom pics and son number 1 giving me the spec he wanted.. A definate no no for anything too old looking.. We cleared the very small 9'X8' room totally and painted the walls with Farrow and Ball paint.. Dovetail is the colour which is a soft subtle grey.. His new black cast bed was built and the bedding adding.. Layered black and grey with a pop of red.. Next he needed a work area for computing and study.. I had an old door which was from the barn before the conversion years ago and suggested adding black metal legs a vintage style lamp and retro red stool.. Perfect was the reply from son number 1.. The poster we thought would add colour too and stop it becoming to monochrome.. His window is tiny too so a simple blind was all that was needed and I couldn't resist popping one of my handcrafted Old Look Pull-toy Elephants on the sill.. Lastly at the bottom of the bed he needed his entertainment system in place.. We added a couple of red retro clocks to continue the red pops here and there.. He is truly thrilled with how it turned out and his clothes and shoes are all stored under the bed in pull out boxes..

I do hope you have enjoyed our make-over journey with a very simple slighty industrial and very inventive use of space style LOL..

*~*ROOM MAKE-OVER PLANNING*~*

As the days get longer and Spring approaches I feel the need for a spot of decorating.. My oldest son now a tall young man has out grown his currant bedroom decor.. It is going to be a whole new overhaul.. Out with the old and in with the new.. He has quite firmly told me he does not want primitive style and old stuff in there but well I am sure the odd vintage item will sit nicely with the design board I have created.. When I showed him the board I got the raised eyebrow and no words and in my book that is a good sign..

The room is very small so lots of thought will have to go into it as he needs a work station for his computer and studies along with storage for clothing etc and not forgetting entertainment and gaming.. Phew alot to consider.. He has already chosen his bed a black metal one with simple design now ordered and he wants a grey colour on the walls.. Thats enough input from him I think.. Here is my design board tell me what you think..

Love the side lamp..

Wall colour and work station look good in this one..

The clocks a must..

Like the wood here but not sure about the curve..

Love this..

Only a week here in the U.K until half-term break when we will be doing the make-over so I will have to get cracking and get some shopping done for this project.. *~*bessings*~*

*~* A FRESH NEW LOOK*~*

In rediness for the start of the New Year when I took down my Christmas decorations I made the big decision to have a big declutter and only put out the things I truly loved.. I must say since I took these pics there are a few changes made already LOL.. I love the simple white farmhouse look with the added nuturals and lots of fabric texture..

THE KITCHEN :

THE SNUG :

THE DINING ROOM :

THE MASTER BEDROOM :

WINTER ON THE VERANDER :

A LITTLE BIT OF SPRING :

I hope you have enjoyed my simple home tour and I will do the most recent updated pics soon.. I am still as busy as ever working my day job and also still designing and making my Attic Bears which is what I love to do most of all along with caring for my family and having fun with them.. I think God gave me such a busy life to keep me out of mischief LOL.. This year I made no rash resolutions out loud but quitely to myself I plan to design more of my patterns including some Attic Bear designs and also if I buy something new for my home I must let another item go (very hard for me ).. After my big declutter I bravely had the items taken away to an Antique shop and then to auction which will be held at the end of February.. Exciting stuff and I hope to attend too.. Sitting firmly on my hands LOL..

I also have a giveaway on the horizon so pop back soon.. *~* Blessings*~*

*~*MY PAINTED HALLOWEEN*~*

Living here in the U.K has it's down side sometimes.. We just don't have access to the wonderful white pumpkins so readily available in the U.S.. So this year to keep with the wonderful Farmhouse look that I love for my home I have had to get out my paint brushes and paint my pumpkins white then wax them to make them look authentic LOL.. I have kept my displays very simple for this Fall and Halloween and hope you like the look.. X

Thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed my pics... Have a wonderful day and *~*blessings*~*
