OK.....and the key on his lapel? Please tell more!!!

What a lovely couple they make and what gorgeous photos and memories you have of the wedding! The wedding dress hanger is fabulous and I've never seen one like it! No wonder you were beside yourself when you thought it wasn't there. So glad it was found.

Nancy, happy to hear your fainting spells are gone and wish you much improved good health in the new year.

Thanks all and hello Terry!!! It was a vintage wedding. I have a lot of pixs from the photographer but my computer kept freezing up. I will post some more as I can. Here is one of me and the boys(:(:(: this one is on my phone so it was easy to post

another houzzer looking in to say how enchanting it is to see the bride in a face veil.... best wishes to them!

OK, Donna, now THAT ONE brought me to tears......seriously! Nothing better than a mom and her boys!

Thanks Carolyn it was such a relief to find the hanger. I got it from Etsy(:(:(:

I got the vintage vibe.....and it was easy for me to pick up, as our youngest son and his wife lead a vintage life.

Thank you everdez so happy to share
Abbyjean I think that was after we found the hanger. (:(:(:

Abbyjean I can see why your son and daughter-in-law like vintage it was a great theme for the wedding.

The head bird does look tall now but once you will add pillows, it will even out! :)

The pillow combination might work if you add a blue/green throw at bottom of bed to match the new pillow.

Ok Thanks Carolyn I will take a look at throws(:(:(:

Glad you have family, and a larger one now! I have a step-son, raised by his mom, but when I saw him on his wedding day I about well was speechless he was so handsome and I was proud. I tried to imagine how his mom must've felt.

everdebz thanks congratulations to you and your family (:(:(;

Thanks for the lovely update and gorgeous photos . . . so beautiful youth . . room too, of course! three sons have i, libradesigneye . . . none mature enough to marry - more diplomas first! delight in these reward years after your time of heavy lifting (often termed raising)

Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing.

woohoo! I was notified of new communication here Donna! What a beautiful couple and lovely photos. Thank you for sharing and I'm so happy for you. And, the room looks lovely. (I agree with Carolyn that a different pillow or add a throw in a color that complements the new pillow). If I may hijack the thread for a minute! I had the pleasure of having lunch and shopping with Carolyn on Dec 26th. We had such fun and boy, what a wonderful difference having a friend who is also a professional designer to shop with! Soooo much accomplished! Wood floor color selection for the house, new lamps for my master bedroom (a bargain from HomeGoods) new paint color swatches and fabric swatches coming. I was pleased Carolyn approved of my drapery choice! And, fabulous art from Z-Gallery. Oh! And, a possible recliner for hubby that is as attractive as a recliner can be! Thank you Carolyn! You are my hero. :)

Darzy, I am very envious of how you spent your day on December 26th. I would absolutely love to go shopping with Carolyn! You two did get a lot accomplished. Happy New Year!

Seriously? Another missed shopping trip with Carolyn? But Darzy, what an adventure you had! Please tell me drinks were a part of the time, too!!!

abbyjean, we were "good girls" and only had one glass of wine with lunch!

Hi Darzy!!! So happy you shared details about your shopping trip with Carolyn. You two got a lot accomplished(:(:(: I would love to see those lamps (:(:(: I agree Carolyn is a hero and so much fun to be around!!! So happy you two got all those decisions made ...wonderful way to start the New Year(:(:(:

One glass of wine at lunch is just right.

Thanks, Darzy, for the glowing report. It was a hoot of a day as Darzy is a delight to be with, just as lively in person as she is on houzz! The only thing we might ever fight about was who enjoyed the day more, her or me. Super day! Darzy is right that the new pillow on Donna's bed is not right and really needs to be replaced. I'm not sure a throw will make any difference.

I think if you placed the actual sleeping pillows with the piping and trim on top of the coverlet, and then placed the others on top it would balance out the height issue...also, at one point you had a third fabric that resembled a zebra print in the muted orange/red and cream (look back to July 9th); perhaps if you added that print in smaller ovalish or round pillow (with maybe a fringe or something for added texture)...on top of the long pillow centered over the two shell pillows it would balance better with the height of the headboard.

Thanks gypsyrose that sounds good I will have to play around with it and see what it looks like since I can't see things in my minds eye(:(:(:

Steal some pillows from another room to just get an idea if it will solve the height illusion.

I will I'll find some and play around with it(:(:(:

Gypsy, what is the height issue? I must have missed something.

Hi Carolyn I think not sure what she is referring to as others have said my headboard is a bit too high for the pillows and it looks unbalanced. I'm not sure because I haven't really looked closely and not sure I could spot it since I'm not really good in that area lol When I get a chance I'll play around with the pillows and see how it looks

Hi Donna, I remembered you asked to see the new lamps (and new wall color) that Carolyn found for me at Home Goods. Here is the "before gloomy" and "after bright" photos. Love the new lamps! And...only $50 each! Carolyn can find anything! I forgot to mention the budget was $200 for lamps and she cut it in half! I could just kiss her! :)

That looks like a whole new room Darzy! Beautiful!!! Cute puppy too!

The yellow walls "swallow" the view outside. I didn't even notice the oranges on the tree in the before photo.

Thank you Deborah. My "puppy" is little "Peanut" and she is 8 years old! She never got over 3 lbs. She's our heart. :)

Beautiful transformation, Darzy! The puppy is totally adorable :)

Darzy, you must love this room and go there every chance you get! No wonder Peanut is in there. So calm and soothing and elegant!

Hi Donna and Carolyn, sorry about the delay in responding...the height issue was mentioned prior to "the wedding", that is what I was referring to.

gypsyrose....I am so sorry you have lost your husband. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you Deborah, indomom and abbyjean! I appreciate the kind words.

gypsyrose, I have no words for you other than I am just so so sorry. That is so sad. Please know you are in my prayers.

Oh my, gypsyrose, what a sad loss for you. I am so terribly sorry to hear of your husband's passing.

gypsyrose, of course you have been on autopilot. What a tremendous loss. May you experience the peace that passeth all understanding.

Oh gypsyrose I'm so sorry to hear about your husband passing. Just know your are in our prayers. Thank you for commenting and know I will be thinking of you. I wish I could give you a big long hug.

gypsyrose, so sorry to hear of your loss.

Gypsy, Big hug from Seattle too! So sorry to hear about your husband. My thoughts are with you as well at what must be a very difficult time. Take care of yourself.

Thank you all for your kind words, I hadn't meant to rain on Donna's blog...that's why I edited it out once I realized what I had done. It's tough, but I will get through it.

No need to ever apologize for sharing with friends. You have a huge heart and have helped so many on Houzz, including myself.

Yea gypsyrose we are all friends here. Here for the easy and hard times of life(/(:(:

Darzy I love love your lamps you and Carolyn did a great job and all under budget!!!!! Thanks you for posting a picture of your room it's so calm looking and Peanut looks so comfortable in there

Gypsyrose, I am so very sorry for your great loss.....my heart goes out to you. Please know that you are in our thoughts.....in our prayers.....and in our hearts.....always....I hope you can find some comfort in the fact that there are alot of people who care about you -- even your "far away" friends here on Houzz. God comfort you and bless you my friend.....

Our designs might help.
