After the Ball Is Over


By ball, if you read the title of my post, I'm referring to Christmas - I always have difficulty coming up with decor ideas after the colorful and creative chaos of Christmas.


The first room I tackled was the guest room mainly because Steve bought me one of the items I put on my Christmas list.


I spotted the Cabin Crafts chenille bedspread at a local vintage shop, Tattered Door.


Steve hates shopping, but he doesn't mind when I give him the names of the shops and pics of exactly what I want.


The cabinet got an update with clocks and hands.


 I had Steve bring in a new painting for above the headboard - we have lived in our city for over 40 years, but had never seen this view until recently when a neighborhood family invited us to a children's service at the Mormon church.


My old Underwood got a new message for a new year, but I'm not ready to share the word yet - still preparing the post.


I always dry my roses and had quite a few in a box I wanted to use for something else.


So I grabbed an old grapevine wreath from the garage and started hot gluing dried roses onto it - the eucalyptus was added at the end to give the wreath a little flair.


I always like popping quotes into my decor and this one really fits my life right now.


I used the cart as a workspace while I made the wreath so I decided to go for a desk look on the cart.


It is so nice to see the rooms of our house slowly coming to life once again in the new year.
