Another Day, Another Dollar . . .

I don't know why I said that.  I don't plan to spend any dollars, I don't expect to earn another dollar . . . but I probably will spend some as I try  . . let me restate that, as I do FINISH that front bedroom that used to be Sassy's room.

The walls are in there making a very strong statement.  A finish that seems to horrify both of my kids-in-law.  That's OK, it's my room and as much as I love it, I just might soften it a little.  Not that it will make less of a statement, just blended a little better.  I found that when the glaze is almost invisible, it is hard to control he results.  It looks a little like I turned the grand kids loose in there!  ** Sarah came by tonight and loved it, so it stays!!  She was with me when I saw a mug in Wal-Mart that inspired the whole project.  Now talk about class!**

The bed going in there belonged to Jon's grand parents.  I guess when they sold and cleared the old family home, that was given to Jon.  He had the vanity and dresser, but not the bed.  When we had been married only 2 1/2 months, we went back to visit the OK relatives in his big old 4X4 truck so that we could bring this bed back.  I was thrilled when I saw it!

The dry AZ air has been hard on it, so restoration is on the calendar to make it  look better and help preserve it.  There is some cracking that will be a challenge.  For now, it will just be put up to get  the room functional.  Christmas is just too close,   lots to do!!

So once again, I would love to share this whole process with ya'll, but still missing the dreaded black camera. I am beginning to wonder if Linc might have thrown it in the trash and I didn't notice.  A fork went in last night, that Jon caught and I do have to take things out regularly .  . oh my, oh dear . . .
