~DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE A VERY OLD STONEHOUSE~
Are we having fun yet?
Uuh huh.
Uuh huh.
Welcome to DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE!
At it again and will be until it's done.
Tinking about in the smallest bedroom as she is being spiffed up has required some work.
As the work takes place it gets messy and cramped, BUT seeing progress!
First the light fixture was switched out with this vintage chandy
that once was in the Formal Dining room.
Waited 5 years for this to take place and am I ever happy she is done!!!
After this room is completed
she may look like a Shabby Chic get away.
For now, she is mostly shabby
and a ways away from being chic.
Beaded Board has gone up on the walls and will eventually be painted a soft pink. PTL!
My Husband had to put muscle into this with the walls being plaster/stone.
Not an easy task to secure the beaded board to the walls, but he did it!
The two windows have been framed
by Belly Bands and Rosettes which will be painted a soft white.
Balloon shades for the windows are under construction
and soon (hope hope hope hope) will be completed and installed.
Crown Molding and Corner Blocks are up and in place soon to be painted white as well.
A work in progress.
End of Summer deadline.
May you have a blessed time putting
your personal touches on your decorating
and calling her good...she's done!
Making home a haven,
~d~

You've got him hard at work I see! How fun to plan your shabby chic room. I hope it comes out just the way you like it...and that it will bring you a sense of accomplishment!
I love to redo and decorate!
Have Fun!
Love, Linda
I can't imagine how difficult it would be to attach anything to a stone wall. My mom's house is old and her walls must be that old fashioned lath and plaster. Trying to get a nail in that is not fun-and she likes to change things up. Me: one nail=forever. I leave things where they are! Can't wait to see it painted and all pretty.♥♫
I appreciate your visit Deanna. The Lord bless you and your haven of ministry!
I love beadwood. And the chandy!!! Oh how beautiful. I'd love a get-away-in your sweet room.
Hi D! Oh, I'm so happy for you! That trim is gorgeous and I can't wait to see your room completed! Glad you had a wonderful Sunday!
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh I'm coveting this, wish I was doing the same with our master bedroom! You have a great handy man too, so lucky! Can't wait to see it all decorated and ready. I'm loving the gorgeous chandy, I have a soft spot for them. Have a blessed week at Haven Ministry sweet lady.
