Map Table

I had this little end table that I painted turquoise and then forgot about.
(actually, I think it got lost in the garage!)

I had added a map at some point, trying to add some pizazz.

I then promptly forgot about it again because it just wasn't very exciting.

Fortunately, I remembered it when I was redoing
 my grandkids' room.

 Painted red, it would be perfect!

 The room is all about adventure,

filled with maps and globes, ships and planes...
well, you can see it here.

 I left some of the turquoise because I love red and turquoise together!

Happy Day!!

Christmas House Tour: Bedrooms

I had so much fun this year decorating the kids' room!

It always looks festive in here anyway, because of all the color!

The Santa and Angel were always on our doors 

when my brothers and I were children!
(That's a while ago!)

This little bear is wearing reindeer antlers and reading a Christmas book!

The small tree has toys hanging from it and sitting under it!

Snowflakes fall in front of the window!

The guest room is a bit more sedate!

I just changed out the bedding for something red!

And added a small wreath.

Seeing Red!

I have been in a "red" mood lately.

It all started with a little red cabinet I painted last year.

Then my grandson and I were discussing the changes I was going to make to my "Grandkids' Room", and he asked me to paint the walls red because that was now his favorite color. Well, I couldn't commit to red walls, but I did promise to put a lot of red into the room.

So I painted some furniture pieces red.

First, this little bedside table that used to be black.

Then this little bookshelf  that was a dark brown.

Then I put them together to make one piece!

Really love how it came out!

I also painted this little chair red!

Here's a peek at the room, I can't wait to get it finished!
