My Attic... My White Heaven

My Attic, My White Heaven

I am also linking up with My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for the Block Blog Party on using Paint Drop Cloths or Tarps.

 I am linking up with her today to show you the finished attic I posted earlier.
Be sure and pop over to see all the inspired blogs that are posted.

As I said, in my prior post I needed a place of my own, a place to be alone with God. Somewhere to read, pray, listen and dance if I felt inclined. 
This project has been a lot of fun and I have enjoyed it... it could have gone a little faster but then what project ever does. 
Please check out the before pictures on my last post.
So enough said here is the after pictures.

Here are some of my favorite little treasures that I have collected and have gotten from special friends. 

The book pages on the ceiling are from an old bible and the walls are covered in painters tarp. 
I needed something that covered the lathe that showed in the corner by the door. 
I used furniture tacks to attach the canvas tarp, it gives it an old upholstered look.

 I love the button bracelet around the candle that I got from my good friend Susan "Z" at Old Grey Mare and the beautiful orchid in the glass dome is from my sweet Deb at Talking Trash.

The little French silver religious purse charms are from my daughter Jody, they open up with miniature books and a rosary inside.

The sachet with the angel was a gift from sweet Polly at Counting Your Blessings.
Polly came to see me last week at the Fleamarket, and I was thrilled to  meet her and her lovely family. She also has The French Cupboard and Porch magazine which I was honored to be on the cover this Christmas issue.  She brought me a fabulous  clock cloche filled with wonderful goodies, bless her sweet heart.

The wonderful collage hanging on the door is from my very talented friend Lisa at Tarnished and Tattered, it is one of my favorites. 

The linen purse is from my good friend Donna at Everyday Elegance, I just love the color and the ruffles... it just looks great hanging on the door knob.

The morning sun, it is beautiful sitting here with my cup of coffee looking over the trees.

 My prayer request wall. 
Keeping a mindful account of those that have special needs or just prayer, as we all do.
I will be having a prayer request page on my sidebar shortly.  The talented Karen at Valentine Designs is helping me with this. 

Love my old bear... 

My perch

A little Christmas...

I put in a twin bed to use as a sitting area and an extra bed for company.

The duvet cover I made from an antique European sheet I had gotten in France

I used the painters tarp to cover this cubby also, it was a door way to the dormer and crawl space but I defined the walls with the tarp and now I can use it for a side table.

This is such a cool old bentwood chair, I had gotten two of them, they are from an old theater. They are Victorian and swivel. I slip covered this one in cream crewel work, it had burgundy velvet on it.

And sometimes I am not alone...


I hope you enjoyed my make over as much as I did... It still needs a little tweaking, and of course it will evolve over time. I will be posting more before and afters of my house projects after the first of the year. If you have any questions on this one, please email me, I would be happy to answer them the best I can.


Please don't forget to join me for my

Thank you Kathleen for another inspirational White Wednesday.
Many Blessings
