Sunroom in Progress

I'm so excited to show you what I've started working on...

A Four Seasons Sunroom~

Sun and Texas go together~

They know me well at Pier One! I don't really think they thought I was "really" going to purchase anything this last time. Think they ( they two that had already helped me) wanted to ignore me. The new person that waited on me, the one they urged to help me, was lucky! (hee hee)

I was in there so many times before I made a decision!

They even heard my cell phone conversation on Sunday afternoon with my husband.

Me: Hi sweetie, what are you doing?

Mr.: Watching golf.

Me: (under my breath, oh shoot-oh  my) 

Me: Well, would you mind driving to Pier One, (talking as fast as I could) you know the one right North of the hospital off the Expressway? I really need you to help me take this sunroom furniture home and it all wont' fit in my car and I really need it now. Oh thank you so much, you are so sweeet! 

Mr.: Now where is this place? 

Me: It's easy to find and won't take you long...

So, I was happy-

.

Need to scoot. Several of these flats of pretty little flowers are waiting to be planted. 

It's time to go play in the dirt!

Have a great day~

WOW! Dazzling and Brilliant Ceramics!

It was a "Wow" moment when I first saw this guest bathroom.

Get this- 
The previous owner left these extraordinary treasures 
in the home.  

Can you believe?
A MacKenzie - Childs Guest Bathroom! 

It was probably the room that convinced me that we just had to have this house! 

I know, funny, but true. 

Yes, along with other wonderful things...
but still...these one of a kind
Mackenzie-Childs 
ceramics stole my heart years ago!

If you would like to know more about these brilliant ceramics, google, MacKenzie - Childs, you'll find the history of these time honored crafts. From plates,  planters, teapots to tureens and to the great one of kind pieces you see in our guest bathroom.

I've always and forever wanted to start a collection of Mackenzie Childs ceramics, now I have!  They are performing beautifully in our guest bathroom and it truly makes me so happy! 

 It was a "Wow" moment when I first saw this sensational room! 

It was hard to get a really good picture without me in it, oh that mirror was in my way!

Look at this sink, I love it! 

Like its namesake - a seaside resort on the "British Riviera" - Torquay offers drama and opulence, and then goes on to impart a certain modern-day sensibility. Mix bold frank-and-mustard hand-painted tiles with check-and-rose patterned tiles for a twist on tradition. 

I'm crazy about these knobs! 

This brilliant tile is in the middle of the awesome white tiled floor.
What's not to love about this sweet little checked and rose pattern?

 

Oh my, this vintage looking light fixture - It could be Vintage, Antique or just Old, whatever....

I really love it~

 

There are two pieces of Torquay, the small one one the right in the photograph above and the larger one below.

 

I love this larger piece of Torquay. Look at the beautiful checked and rose floral pattern, what creative artwork!

If you turn over each handcrafted piece, you can see the marks of the artisans who created it. 
Isn't that just amazing?  

I'm in the market for more incredible, delicate and charming
Mackenzie - Childs Ceramics.

I'm "Almost Back"!

I've almost forgotten how to post!

I'll be back very soon, missing my blogging friends!

I know you all have been blogging your hearts out, all the while I have been having fun with our three grandchildren and their parents-they have been visiting us from Atlanta for some time. They moved into their beautiful new home this past week and oh my, our home is so very quiet now. We are thankful they moved in just a short distance away~ No more long trips to Atlanta! I can drop in and get my dose of hugs and kisses whenever I want! What a deal!

We just returned from a short trip- oh the glory of being at that age, we can come and go as we please!  A close friend told me the other day...isn't it nice to have your kids grown and on their own...

Why yes~ that is what we are suppose to have done, give them wings!

Yes, you know, we are all free to do what we want, that comes with age, why does it have to be when we are getting up there in years and can't stand on our heads? I miss doing that, did it till I was...ahem, won't tell.

Tell me what you miss!

I'll never be old, of course not, our grandchildren keep us young! I almost did a somersault the other day, then decided that was not a good idea. Watch out...

Take care out there!
