Added Sunlight

This is the weekend I long for all winter, another hour of sunlight is added to my day and it marks the beginning of spring. 

This winter has certainly been a gift, so mild and sunny, I am thankful. But spring brings anticipation of all the goodness God has in store this new year, this new season, this new day. 

I do not have a packed schedule as I did last year, I am leaving my days open to see what unfolds... and trusting that I walk in the path that has been set before me with thanksgiving and wondrous expectations.

This week has opened up two wonderful opportunities.

 I am participating in a Pampered Ladies Evening at the 

Landin Chiropractic Care in Elgin IL.


Ladies' Night Evening of Pampering
Tuesday March 13, 7:00 - 9:00


I will be setting up a table of jewelry... I am excited to be a part of this fun event!


And then this weekend I will be loaded and driving to Rockford IL to see...

my very talented and good friend Miss Polly of 

Counting Your Blessings fame.

I am so excited to be participating in this first time event hosted in Polly's farmhouse. Her lovely home is currently being featured in the spring issue of Romantic Country magazine. There are 12 of us gals participating and it should be a fun and exciting weekend.

If you are in the area, I hope to see you there!

This past month, before I got hit with the flu, I had been working on the powder room on the main floor. I thought today I would show you the upstairs bath. We had remodeled it a few years ago. In this old house bathrooms were non-existent so the few that we have were certainly after thoughts. 

This bathroom was a challenge because of the step up in it, where the plumbing was under the floor. The tub and the toilet are a step higher then the sink.

I worked on this floor plan to utilize the best of space and yet fit into it a large tub and large walk-in shower.

Because the space is long and narrow, I didn't want the shower to over power the room and enclose it, so I chose glass.

The tumbled marble tile is my favorite and so to compliment the look of the marble, I faux finished the walls and glazed over it for wash-ability. And not that there isn't enough interest and texture here, I decided to add shreds of old French wallpaper for an extra element of surprise. More is more in my equation. 

. 

I love this French washstand and since I chose a pedestal sink it is perfect to hold "stuff" next to it.

Isn't this mirror wonderful... I got it from Theresa's wonderful shop 

Time Worn Interiors
I had the pleasure of going earlier this year, here.

Cote' Bastide my favorite, can't beat the packaging and the fig scent is 2die4!

I love these old English linen curtains... the best part about them is they have been patched, matched perfectly and hand stitched. I love that someone cared enough about them to put so much work into them even after they were worn out.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Blessings
