Look what I found....

I was cruising blog land this morning at like 65 mph and this picture made me SLAM ON THE BRAKES! It's from a wonderful blog~ lillevildand~ and I am just so happy I ran across it!

Sure wish this was sitting in my house!

OATMEAL IN THE BEDROOM?

I recently gave our guest room a very over due make-over. You can go on over to my other blog Olde Tyme Marketplace to see the results.

The tweeking however still contines, which to me is the funnest part!

This morning I was bloggin and I looked over to my stack of feedsacks (yes they share a room) and I saw this HUGE Quaker Oats one that made me think hmmmmmmm....

that bed really does need some more pillows ......soooooo before I went to work today I put this baby together and love how it turned out!

It took like 10 minutes. You gotta love easy schmeasy projects like this!So this is how I ended up with oatmeal in the bedroom!

I really like the texture element it gives the room as well as a bold graphic that still has a subtle way about it if you know what I mean. Am I making any sense here? At all? Hello?

I am happy! Plus there is one less thing in my craft/computer/spare/storage room.
Which happens to be next on the list for a make-over of it's own.

I WANT THIS!

It is truly my dream to have an old log home one day . I blame Laura Ingalls. Since I first cracked the pages of her life story , I fell in love with the whole ideal. She made everything sound so wonderful and cozy and warm and just ...well ...perfect. This dream is at least 30 years old and I have never changed my mind about any of it...it MUST be old, it MUST have square logs, it MUST have lots of chinking, it MUST have a porch, it MUST have a fireplace, it MUST have a loft and other than that I am willing to compromise................ I THINK I FOUND IT!! ISN'T THIS ONE ADORABLE?? Look at the door, the porch, the picket fence for goodness sakes!! I am in LOVE! With each picture, the dream keeps alive and feels a little bit closer...
