It's All Mine!

Hi Bloggerettes!

Hope you are enjoying the lovely fall weather. 
Here's what I've been up to, or should I say here's what's been wearing-me-out!
When we built our home seven years ago, we added a finished bonus room or "frog" (finished room over garage). It was built  for our son complete with a full bath and therefore affording him all the privacy of  his own apartment.  It is also 500 square feet.

Well, he decided that he wanted to move downstairs into one of the guestrooms.  This left me with this huge room that needed to be sissified....

So, I am now in the process of incorporating furniture from two bedrooms.  Oh did I mention that my son took over two bedrooms, one for his computer room and the other for his bedroom.

I know, I know...I'm easy.


So far, one queen bed in front of the windows and one twin bed under the dormer.  It's a funny angled room, but with lots of decorating potential.

It's a real work in progress.


I plan to make it mine, all mine.  Girlie as girlie can be and full of all the things I love.  Linens, mannequins, dolls, my work table, fabrics, craft supplies and pillows, pillows everywhere!

I'll keep you posted on the progress.  It's gonna be fun!


It's okay Gizzie, I'll share it with you!


No need to get all huffy about it.  There's room for both of us.


Okey dokey, back to figuring out how to fill all this space.
Chances are it won't take long.

~~hugs~~

  18. Hey honey your room is going to be really beautiful. I like it already. You answered a question for me about having two beds in my upstairs room. I could not decide if it would look good but yours does.
    Have fun decorating

  19. Ok, you jump on one bed, and i'll jump on the other bed, and we can just hang out and talk like girls do... maybe bring in some bright pink nail polish, and magazines, and end up on the same bed looking at pictures...
    what a fun space, and it's pretty pretty. whoa girl, you have some wonderful pillows... !
