Oh boy! The week sure went fast and here comes another one. Every Monday, Susan of http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ hosts Met Monday. If you want to get renovation ideas and see beautiful transformations of just about anything, visit Susan and all her participants. You will enjoy all the creativity in Blogland.I have a very minor one to share for today. This is our guest room where we always put my mom when she is staying with us, although she is not with us right now. I thought the drapes were kinda dark making the room dark.
So, I replaced them with lighter and airy ones. Do you see more changes? I added a lamp on top of the sewing machine and added 2 more smaller throw pillows on the chairs. I also added books and plants on top of the ottomans. Hope you like my little transformation. I like it better cause it brings more light all the way to the hallway.
Every Monday, Sally of http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ also hosts a meme called Blue Monday. You should visit her and her participants, especially if you like blue.
This is a typical relaxing weekend for us. I am reading a book on the lounge chair while John falls asleep on the floater, lol!
Aaaah.......Life!
Last night, we went out to dinner. This is how the sky looked when we stepped out of the restaurant. It really looked weird. Unfortunately, I did not have my better camera with me but I had the little one that stays in my purse all the time, so I was still able to take pictures.
As soon as we got home, I went to the backyard to check out the skies and took more pictures.
The orange color was so intense but I thought the gray underneath looks kinda interesting.
This was taken a few months ago. The moon was so full and pretty and I thought I would share the picture that I took. The light in the pool changes from blue, green, red and white.
All I know, is that you need to head over to Its So Very Cheri on Oct 1 so you don’t miss out on this big event. She’s never done anything this big. So grab the button and place it on your side bar so you don’t forget, plus your friends will be glad you let them in on it too. Will you be there? I know I will.

ReplyDeleteThat pool is so awesome and your pics are just amazing! I love the lighter curtains in the guest room, it looks so inviting for your Mom. Boy does your home look fun! Hugs, Cindy
Glad to see you guys enjoying the pool - I wish I could just dive right in! I bet your Mom will love the new changes in her room - you're right your new drapes really lightened the room up. (Although the other drapes were nice, too). I'm saving the date - I'm dying to know what could be so big - Hmmmm! ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteChristine, those sky photos are amazing! I've never seen that kind of cloud formation. Your mother's bedroom looks so pretty. The lighter drapes were a fabulous idea and give the room such a fresh look. I love the way John is nodding off in the pool! Y'all are definitely enjoying it, and it's no wonder. It looks so relaxing and pretty. laurie
ReplyDeleteChristine, I love the lighter draperies, they really open up the room. And I love those chairs! Your pool looks so inviting, I'm afraid I wouldn't get anything done lol. Love the sky shots, beautiful cloud formations. Hope you have a wonderful week. Kathy
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Christine -
ReplyDeleteJ'adore the transformation in your guest room. That's a huge room too since you're able to fit a big size bed and a sofa. What a difference light can bring in a room huh? Also loving your new pool...it sure was worth the wait.

Hi, lady! I think you definitely got that lighter, airier look with your changes to the guest room! And how neat is that sky! It looks like a field that has been plowed in that one shot. Very good shots.
ReplyDeleteAnd your pool looks so welcoming. Love that shot of John asleep. I caught Mr. Magpie asleep at Adelaide's birthday party, and it was so cute. LOL!
Still without my computer (I've borrowed hers), and I hope to have mine back next week.
Sending you much love...
