yellow for the littles....

Here's the dresser and chest I bought for the littles room. They made it to there destination.  I'm loving the way they look in here.

As for the color, thanks to the Pleated Poppy I found the right yellow. I bought two other samples and they didn't work out. Then I went back to HD and looked at French Pale Gold. In the store it looks green and I was thinking no way maybe another color. But then I remember how fabulous her dresser looks so I gave it a try. Guess what? It was perfect not to buttery, sherbet or big bird yellow. The drawer pulls I picked up at HD. They were four bucks for the small ones and six for the bigger ones. 

The yellow dresser next to the Little Diva's bed looks to cute.

The dresser's between both beds. I'm still not done in here. The window treatment is missing and a new bed for the Little Big Boy. I already found the frame for the bed. It's going to be white like the Little Diva's bed only not girlish. Hopefully by the end of October I'll be able to wrap up this room and be done with it. Now your up to date in this room that's taking me forever to finish.

battling in style.....

Check out my stylin new boots. Aren't they cute?

Since I moved here I kept saying I wanted some. The HMIC thought I was crazy {that's only every other day}. Let me explain the need for my boots besides looking cute. I don't live in the city limits, the houses here aren't right on top of each other in my neck of the woods.  Since I'm a few minutes from town I'm lucky enough to have bugs. Not just all sorts of bugs but snakes, scorpions, vinagrons, ants, mice, black widows, spiders and weird bugs. I hate bugs and you never know what your gonna have to kill see when I'm watering my bushes and trees. I can't really wear flip flops for that. I also have no grass yet just weeds and dirt. Here's my side yard and back yard.

Now do see my need for the rain boots. Which in my case they're armour for my feet. Now my feet are ready to face the elements. You never know when they'll go into battle, here there's many surprise attacks. There's even been a few indoors.

feeder no more....

Found this feeder at a yardsale for five bucks. Immediately I knew it was going to hold books.

My first thought was kid books in the playroom but if you've seen that room it's quickly running out of space. Then I thought in the Littles room but the color didn't go and I didn't want to paint it. I kind of like it all chipped and rusty. So I held on to it for a month or so. In my house I have this one space/room that I don't know what to do with. For the past few months it's been a catch all room empty. Finally I got an idea for the room. It's still a work in progress just like every other room in this house. But that's where the feeder/bookcase is currently calling home. As for the space it has issues but that's another story for another day. What do you think? Now it holds my magazines, the HMIC's magazines and books I want or have read.

{I know the TV wires. The HMIC only had time to put the TV put. Next trip he can make the wires disappear. Yes, I could figure it out and do it myself. But why bother if I can just add it to the Honey Do List. Also I'm not sure if this is what the space is going to be used for I might change my mind.}

wrap up....

Hey ya'll I'm still here just out of sight out of mind. The HMIC paid us a visit. He was nice enough to visit us for a week. Not enough time for the Honey Do list I had for him. Around the same time look who started school.

That's right the Little Big Boy start preschool. He wanted to take the bus I guess it makes him feel like a big kid. So for a few hours a day the Little Diva and I are home alone. To bad she doesn't give me anytime to do crap. She's on my *** all the time. Maybe one day she will find a show that will entertain her for an hour or so.

I did manage to do a little painting. With the Little Diva's help of course. I finished the chest and dresser for the Littles room. I should of took before pics but I forgot. The chest and dresser I bought at an estate sale. Well actually we went to one and they showed us some of the furniture they were selling. In the corner of my eye I spotted them. They weren't for sale but I left my number in case they changed their mind. And as you can tell they did. They look cute in the room. I'm almost done in there so I can show you all.
Well that's it for now I managed to get the Little Diva off my *** for a bit. Thanks to the HMIC whose been on the phone with her for the past 1/2 hour.
