Spring Anyone?

Last week I was in the Joann Fabrics buying fabric for curtains for my son's room.  I don't go there often, and I decided to take a little spin around the aisles.  Well, I did find fabric but I also found $100 worth of other delights:).  One thing I bought was the set of faux stained glass window clings that I put on our front door.


I also purchased a lovely large flat door basket for the front door.  I have been on the lookout for one for a while and they had a perfect one in their clearance aisle.  So I added it to my cart.  Well, then I needed to get some florals to put in said basket.  Cause it would be a waste to buy the basket and then not be able to use it.  


Anyways, I bring all my goodies home and then I arranged my florals in the basket and hung it on the front door.

It makes me happy.

I would take a picture from outside except that there is a light dusting of snow out there.  That stinks.  I really really want it to be spring now.  I know I shouldn't complain because this has been the easiest winter ever, but I am ready for no winter.  If we ever move again it had better be south.


Sometimes I think it needs more flowers and other times I think it is all good.  In any event, I like how the brown basket and the white and green of the flowers contrast against the door.  It needs a different hook than that old brass wreath hanger, but I am waiting on the antique door knocker I bought on ebay last week.  Once I attach that to the door I will have to adjust the basket and I was so excited to get this up I just made do for now.


I haven't really told you much about my oldest son's room but it is getting a total makeover.  We purchased bunk beds and decided that before they were delivered we should give the room a new paint job.  So we have painted the room and all the trim (which just takes forever), added the bunk beds, installed new lighting and finally yesterday I picked up the curtain fabric.  It is in the washer as I type and so I hope to finish everything up this week and be able to share soon.  Except I forgot that the comforters I want for the beds are out of stock - of course.  But I think I'll share anyways or else you'll think I haven't been doing anything lately.
