...Ok, back to work...

Instagram @ Work !

I took a few minutes at the end of the day to play with Instagram!

I snapped lots of my favorite things @ WORK.

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you've already seen these, 

so b'bye, but if not...

I LOVE THIS DRUM!

It would make a great gift for BeatDropping, 

but not sure how it would fair in a dorm room...

(note to self: buy now, save for later : )

I've been batting my eyelashes at HandyHusband to get him

to convert the armoire in the family room into a bar.

If I succeed, I believe I'll have to bring home a decanter or two...or three.

This bamboo chest really needs to live in my guestroom and since I

slip-covered those dining chairs, well, I think they should live with me too.

Anne and I put the same fabric on that lovely bench and I've

always wanted an old bottle tree!

That insanely beautiful secretary has a nickname...Harry Potter.

It's beautiful. The green bullseye glass in the doors is so unique.

When I finish the family room details, I think I'll be sneaking the

Staffordshire Poodles onto the mantel and adding to my

clock face collection.

The porcelain tureen is part of a pretty big collection.

I want it all, but I'm willing to share it with PrettyStuff!

Need vs. Want 

Always an issue around here!

Zebra figurines: WANT, Garden Stool: NEED,

Oyster Plates: WANT, Ladder Shelf: NEED,

Green Confit Pot: WANT

We have a pair of these Imari fish and they are KILLER!

As hot as orange is these days, I honestly can't believe they lasted

more than a day in the shop...think Aqua beach house with orange

Hermes blanket on the sofa and those fish on your coffee table!

I adore this roof tile lamp and the book lamp is a great guy gift!

Anne and I fight over that bamboo table and our newest treasure

is this incredible late 18th century needlepoint barley twist chair!

Come by Rooney Robison Antiques and make your INSTA-LIST!

My Wish List GROWS and GROWS . . .

This Pine Long Case Clock from Rooney Robison Antiques would

surly look beautiful in my front hall!

Maybe then I could get something done on time.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Who's Your Valentine ?

This little flask is awesome! I could give me handyhusband that
and I know right where I would he would put it!

I kinda want that doggie doorstop too!

We've got some great gifts for the guys @ Rooney Robison Antiques!

{visit Rooney's website for prices}

Guys are so hard to shop for. 

They don't want you to spend money on them...

especially if you're spending HIS money, ha!

But they don't want to be ignored either.

Any great ideas you could share in the comment box

would be greatly appreciated!

all collages created for RRA with her merchandise and photos from Oh, Pioneer!

Slower Than Molasses . . .

Yeah, I know, I'm slower than molasses on my interiors projects,

but when you're a do-it-your-selfer like me, it takes forever.

I did farm out this little corner chair to be reupholstered

and it just recently came home... I just love him. 

Isn't he cute?

I'll show you the finished deal when I find the time to make

window treatments and pillows, but just had to show you

my little tufted chair from Rooney Robison Antiques.
