Hope everyone enjoyed part 1.
Here comes part 2
of our bedroom redo.
Since this is a long picture post,
I will try to keep my words to a minimum.
Slant desk.
Leather covered dictionary with double ink wells on top.
Ginger beer bottles.
Ink bottle and oil lamp.
Goodies inside the desk.
Cabinet which previously held
all of my coverlets and quilts.
Now more of a colonial look.
With wax dealer crocks.
Pewter mugs.
More leather books with clay pipes.
Hand mirror and tankard.
Rye basket with flax and heather.
Textiles.
Hogscraper candle on stool.
Script jugs.
Attached candle holder to side of cabinet.
My favorite basket in original blue paint.
Love this old hooked rug. Kept this one in the bedroom.
Just moved it to a different wall.
A bit of Spring with faux daffodils in wood bowl.
Sweet lil pillow in back.
This chair belonged to my paternal great grandparents.
Too precious to allow anyone to sit in it.
Moved our blanket chest to the corner.
Holds all Christmas items inside.
This large basket came from Virginia.
Filled with wool on top of a coverlet piece.
Boxes all hold floss and cross stitch hoops.
Close up.
Coverlet pillow in between.
This cabinet is the only item that remained
in its same place after painting.
It was usually closed and held candles and more Christmas.
Now remains open with pantry boxes.
Child's dress hanging.
Another candle holder.
This small bucket bench use to ne in our loving room. It held my tiny crock bowls.
Now it holds my collection of children's shoes.
I ordered a light for this wall.
Waiting for it to come in.
Then will finish this wall.
Looking in from the hall.
Corner view.
View from our bed.
Need something for above the desk too.
Added a few more crocks by the door.
Hope you enjoyed out bedroom tour.
Kudos to Bob for helping me move out
all of the furniture.
Cannot tell you how much dirt and dust bunnies
were found underneath our bed on the rug.
In other news,
it was a sad day for our family over the weekend.
My cousin passed away at 66.
She was only 2 years older than me.
More like another sister than my cousin.
I will miss her dearly.
Life is way too short.
My cousin from San Antonio flew in
to see her sister before she passed.
She told me folks in her neighborhood
are afraid to go out at night because of all of
the illegal immigrants coming over.
On Saturday my brother told me he actually saw
a bus load of illegal immigrants unboarding
in the city he lives in.
When is this madness going to STOP?
I am all for immigrants coming in the legal way.
We are a nation of immigrants.
How as a nation are we going to survive with
over 6 million illegals that have come in these
past two years?
Who is financially responsible for these people?
The Biden administration is allowing
these people to come in with a court date.
What a joke that is now.
With court dates out to the year 2027,
do you really think these folks are going to go back
to their point of entry for a court date?
Some may, but the majority will not.
We are all in for a heapful of trouble I fear.
May God help us all with this wave.
Well enough of my rant.
Hope everyone enjoys their week thus far.
Act Two Blessings To All!
