Well I guessed wrong. I thought of Arizona but figured I was wrong because you said you couldn't breathe. Lol. You're closer to Abbyjean than any of us.

We are neighbors!!!

Got to 100 here this afternoon, but a thunderstorm went through earlier and things are finally cooling off some.

I'm in ND. Abbeyjean is closest to me! I love how this room turned out.

ND......another neighbor! Love it!

Thanks Lainie, And Abbyjean, never heard of town? Where is that near?

Thanks godoggoone! It's almost complete. Just waiting on a couple items to be delivered and need to put pics in frames.

happyleg......highway 3. All I can think of is the small towns.....Hampton, Ft. Dodge, Humboldt, Belmond????

My hubby is from Ft. Dodge!

My younger brother was actually born in Ft. Dodge. Love small worlds!

Hi ladies! The small metal bird letter holder came. It's cute and petite. I'm not sure I even need to paint it. S Mistry had found it awhile ago. I've picked out some photos for frames. That was a chore. I need to get them better organized on computer. Haven't printed them yet. I've been quite busy. We are also leaving for gatlinburg tomorrow! I may get a good photo there to use also. Probably sometime next week I'll be ready to start another room. Thinking our bedroom.

Love the frames with the colored background and the bird letter holder as is. Definitely don't paint :)

Yay, another room down! Everything looks great. Love the bird letter holder as is... like the metal look. Now you will even enjoy paying bills..lol.

Have been out since noon gardening at our local museum..while my own gardening is being neglected. Going out tonight to plant broccoli. Very windy here today... but sunny. Have a great trip.. never know what treasures you may may find.

Patiently waiting for summer.. giving sunny for the weekend but temperature of only 70 degrees. At least no rain.

LOVE the letter holder.....probably because I love bird decor and have several of that same style in our home. NO paint for sure on that one. Perfect as is.

Have a great trip! You soooo deserve some time away. Kitty ok while you are gone or does the cat get to go along?

Thanks everyone! I also like it as is with no paint. Yes maybe I'll enjoy paying bills. Lol. I can't wait to get the pics in! And just need the sign I ordered. Which hasn't been shipped yet. It's been hot and humid here lately. Lainie hope you get some summer weather soon. I need to water my flowers tonight. Haven't had much rain. Our dogs will be going to my parents this evening to stay while we are gone. They just got back from their AZ home. And my mother will come by to take care of kitty. I think she enjoys the alone time. Lol. Cats!

Parents love doing that sort of stuff for their kids......I speak from experience!!! We have a set of kids coming tomorrow night for a few days, but they leave their cat at home. Said Wally is ok for a few days and think he, too, enjoys the quiet time without their little one trying to.....play....with him.

Etsy does take some time to ship, but I always feel like it is because they are making something special just for me! LOL

I also love Esty. This sign may ship soon. I thought the one I purchased was actually already made and its marked sold. I may ask. My parents have Aussies like we do. So it's one big dog party. And they love frisbee! We haven't seen them since we drove out with our dogs in February to visit them. They're gone for about 7 months each year.

I have the same letter holder! Love it.

I can't believe how hooked I got on this room. Tag me on the next?

That looks so cool now! Love the bird holder & flowers,blue bk & frames!

Thanks happyleg! I'm loving my new room. Leaving for gatlinburg soon. Hoping to find a treasure for the house. Lol.

Godoggoone, thanks! I can't believe you have the same letter holder. This room has turned out great. You missed my last thread for my fireplace. Some of the ladies have come from that thread to help with this room. It's been great because they know what I like and we all seem on the same page. I'll tag you on the next room. How do you do that? I'll also post a link to thread on here. Will be next week sometime.

Hope u have a great trip! C u when u get back!

Hello ladies! How are you? I haven't been on all week. I was soo tired from a busy vacation. I needed rest. And Tuesday night we drove two hours away for a concert and then drove back home. It's been a busy week! Anyway, my photos are ordered for the frames. I ordered extra to see what looks best. All black and white. I'll pick them up this weekend. Had a 40% off coupon! My sign for corner should arrive in the next week or so. I asked them. I had a Magnolia order delivered yesterday! Five magnolia stems(absolutely amazing and large), small white jug/vase, small olive bucket and the galvanized metal magazine holder with chalkboard(thought about hanging in kitchen)...I don't think hubby likes it. Lol. I love all the items! Going to use the magnolias in dining and living room. Hope you all are doing great! I need to get the bedroom started next...which I had said I'd do this week and here I haven't.

Well, Merry June/Summer to you with a special delivery like that.

We leave on Tuesday for a concert in Chicago at Wrigley Field, so pretty excited for a road trip.

You have fun & safe trip!

That sounds good Rebecca ! You had fun! I know road trips & fun can be tiring!

Welcome back Rebecca. Glad to hear that you got some rest after a busy trip. We finally had a few days in the "low" seventies. I know that may sound cold to you but it seems quite hot to me as we have had such cool weather lately.

Happy that your orders are coming in. Seems as though my garden work is not getting done, always something coming up. My fridge was not working 3 weeks ago, repair man fixed it. Same thing happened yesterday (late Friday afternoon). He would not be working till Monday. I just did the same thing that he had done & finally got it going again. Yay, saved repair bill. Fridge is about 10 yrs. old so might need a new one real soon.

Looking forward to you bedroom redo.

Abbyjean, what concert? Have a great time!

Happyleg, rest after vacation and it's been such a busy week and weekend. Finally this week will slow down...I hope!

Lainie, I've been so busy. Lol. Hope you get some of your gardening done. It's been so hot here so 70s sound good! All of our appliances have been purchased over the last year and half. Including washer/dryer. I even bought extended warranties on them all because they just don't make them like they used to. Maybe with your fridge repair you'll get more time out of it. I'm looking forward to the bedroom too. So is hubby!

Oh ladies, I forgot to mention...I have my pics laying on frames. Printed a couple extra photos in case we didn't like one. But they seem to look good. I'll post pics tomorrow and then start working on measuring and putting them in place. I love the frames and background color! And I'll get this bedroom makeover started sometime this week! And another thing...just loving my new office! Thank you!

I am Jackson Browne's number one fan and he is playing with James Taylor. OMG!

Lol! Sounds like it will be a great concert and trip! The one we just went to was Sting and Peter Gabriel. It was great!

Hi ladies! I do have my photos laying out on top of frames. I love it! Still waiting on my sign for corner. I did take pics of my bedroom but haven't started thread yet. We are first talking about what colors we'd like. I've asked hubby so he can be a part of. He's wanting some shades of blue. Similar to a slate blue. I have picked up some color samples to get ideas. We've been having some nice weather. Hope you all are doing good! Thanks!

Wow, super pics! LOVE.

Leaving for an overnight in the morning to a Beach Boys concert .. unfortunately I am the babysitter (4 kids including the 2 yr.old twin boys) but will still be fun.

Weather is still in the low twenties here but nice weather.

Thanks Lainie! Can't wait to get them hung!Have a great time with the grandkids. I can't believe it's already July!

take out carpets get some lights hanging and pops of color

Hi ladies! Picture frames are complete and hung. It took some patience. Lol. But they look great! I have another cover for my laptop but haven't put it on yet. Other than that purple.

This is a warm, inviting room -- one where you can relax as you work. I like that. You are personalizing it with meaningful objects and furniture, which is what a good room should be.

I'm appending a couple fun pieces of art, Hello, New York and Love, from Paris, which go along with the color scheme of the walls, as well as the eclectic, relaxed nature of the room. A couple larger pieces of art, as opposed to many small framed pieces, work well in a room that has many furniture and accessory items in it. You want to maintain that clear, open, fresh look as opposed to getting a sense of clutter.

Both works are available as original paintings on my Houzz page, as well as prints at my pages on Art. com (http://bit.ly/1uDnuh4) or AllPosters (http://bit.ly/1xW0ojD)

May you have many hours of satisfying work in your new office space!

Very nice! Love it! Plus purple lp top.

Looks great Rebecca. Post some final pics of whole space!

Hi ladies! Here are final pics of room. The only thing missing(unless I add something later) is the wooden sign for chair corner. Hasn't come yet. May add something to wall by door also. I've been using this room much more than I thought I would. Thank you! I hope you all come to my bedroom thread when I finally get it posted. I'll post link here. I need your help and you know what I like(after this room and living room/fireplace). Lol! Let's hope bedroom goes as smoothly as this room did.

And in case you all forgot...this is the sign I'm waiting on. I hope you all are doing great!

Very nice!

Nice blue basket/desk all looks nice.

Gosh, I can see why you are spending time in here.....what a nice office space in your home. Cannot wait to see the sign up when it comes. Hopefully it will arrive this week.

Thanks ladies! Sorry I had no idea you all had commented. My sign still hasn't arrived. I AM posting the bedroom today. So I'll post link on here and hope you all come and help. You know what I like.

Ok ladies...here is the link to bedroom! Come on over. I hope it goes smoothly.
