Hey, what do you think?

Poke Cake~

1 3.12-ounce box vanilla instant pudding

Peek AT the windows!

I love old windows!
This one is in my living room

This one was perfect for the new cottage guest bedroom

My sister-in-law, Diane made this one many, many boutiques ago
(It's one of my favorites)

I had the glass replaced with mirror and it hangs in my bedroom

This unique piece is in the new guest bedroom too(a gift from my daughter-in-law, Sharon). I ♥ it! Look at the other fun windows I found...........

found them here and here

I feel like I'm getting a cold....oh no!
Seems now that all the craziness is behind me.........
my body wants to pull the covers over my head and have chicken noodle soup, but instead, I'll go to work tomorrow. I'm still trying to catch up for taking last Friday off....always a price to pay!

Be our guest,! Be our guest!

Put our service to the test.............

This is our guest room BEFORE..............remember?

And this is our guest room during...........

This is the inspiration piece....it all began last Oct. when Terri brought this cute dresser to our boutique....I bought it before anyone else ever saw it. Cute, huh?

And this is our guest room now!! Still a few finishing touches, but couldn't wait to show you.

My BFF's Terri and Marla and I provided the bedroom

Guest room is adorable....just adding a couple of finishing touches!!!

Today's the day!
We're moving everything that is on carpet on to the tile, into the garage and out on the patio cuz they're coming tomorrow to clean and stretch all of the carpet. It's g0ing to be so nice and clean but we won't put furniture back until Monday after the carpet is all dry.
So....I won't be blogging for a few days unless I go someplace else to check up on how all my blogger friends are doing.
Also, after the carpets are done I'll post before and after pictures of the re-design of my living room and my guest room. You're going to be surprised!!
