Hi. Heidi asked a very good question about my last post.She wanted to know if my headboard was made out of a door? I just take for granted you would know these things but why would you? The answer is yes! my hubby made it quite a few years ago out of an old door, I think I found it at a sale for a buck or two...He added some trim work and I still love it to this day! Heidi also asked what the white bucket by my fireplace mantel was? It is called a firkin or sugar bucket and was used to store sugar...I love the old white worn paint! the picture on the right is a table and mirror I painted black and added to the top of my stairs..I really like the black with the new blue paint. Keep those questions coming, I am more than happy to answer them!

I wish my husband was that handy, but I have to rely on Daddy who lives 750 miles away. My dad was a carpenter by trade, and boy do I miss his wood working. I married a machinist not quite the same. But dad did teach me a thing or two about wood. Love the room!!!!

Your room is lovely! All that sunshine - beautiful! Love the headboard- and the bedding - it's all so "dreamy"! Good work!

Good morning Gail (well it is morning here)! I knew I saw an old door in that headboard. Next question...can I borrow your DH? LOL! I need a headboard for my guest room but it is like pulling teeth to get my DH to try doing anything. He is not into DIY.
I love absolutely everything about the picture at the top of your stairs. I love black and wood combined. I also adore old mirrors. I used to have one that was my great aunt's when I was in the US. I think you did this all just right with the black transferware plate and the topiary plant. It looks so wonderful! I am really enjoying seeing little corners of your beautiful home.

Found you through Martha at Elizabeth Hill. Love your blog! Love photos of houses, love cute baby photos.
Love the door for a headboard. It looks great!!
Gail,
Everything looks wonderful, the color, the furniture, the accessories. You have a husband to help you paint, a fireplace mantle and comfy chair in the bedroom...you are a lucky girl.
