Out With the Old...


I totally forgot to take a shot of the old drapes I had in this bay window.  Hubby and I had gone to Switzerland, Germany and Luxembourg back in 1980.  I had fallen in love with the lace...they did not sell this lace in the States...gorgeous stuff so I bought enough to do the bay window.  What is it now, 34 years later???Hahaaaa.....I'm bad about getting rid of shoes to...I'll hang on to things to ensure I've gotten good use out of them!   See the new draw drapes in each window??  Not a great shot but trust me, they're there.   Now I am enjoying my little window on the world.  Lots of light and a new desk.  Plenty of room.  We converted our two car garage into a playroom now TV, computer room years ago...I'm trying to redo things bit by bit.
I's been a rainy day here.  Now the rain has stopped as you can see out the window.  We really could use more rain...just not the cold!
Well, guess I'll get this posted and make my rounds to see what you've been up to.  Enjoy the evening!

Doesn't take much to spruce up the area. Like your blinds, need a redo here.

It's beautiful, Donna!

I'm always happy to see you here. So many friends gone to the land of FB entirely.

I'm sure the lace was lovely...but sometimes you gotta let it go after while. I like this look--very clean and bright.

I love this look!! Everything in our house is starting to fall apart...it was built in the 80's...everything needs to be replaced!! One day at a time. Unless we win the lottery.

Then we will move!

Nicely taken photo, Donna, with both the inside and outside well exposed.

I love your cozy "command center!"

I always have a hard time getting rid of things that have been around for a while. It kind of feels like kicking out an old friend...lol

Donna,

Like you, I am a fan of pretty lace. You sure don't see it here like in Switzerland. I bought some lace when we were in Lugano in the early '90s.

Your new decor is beautiful. I love that you are by the window.

Good job!

I know you had a BALL on that trip! How awesome! And to bring back the lace and enjoy them at your window all this time. So nice. It's always good to make changes, though. I wish I could get a rug for my livingroom. It would make such a huge difference. But I have to wait. We are still dealing with vehicle expenses around here...CHEEZ!

Well that is perfectly charming. What a beautiful place to work. I LOVE sitting near a window. Somehow it makes all tasks easier. xoxo Jenny
