A LITTLE SOMTHING NEW..

A few months I showed you my dining room, which at the time had this chandelier. It came with the house and don't get me wrong I loved it after all it is crystal.But boy does this thing collect dust,plus I was changing all the light fixtures to oil rubbed bronze with crystal of course. You might not know this But I am addicted to the local online sale sites, Always on the hunt for the next find ( come on you know what I mean). well when I saw this gal I had to have her and she had a sister (more on her at a later date). I paid next to nothing for both of them, It's a lot larger than it looks. I am thrilled to death.
The old love.

 It's hard to get a  Good picture  we have had nothing but cloudy days( I think It's time to buy a good camera).
 This is looking the other way .
 Full shot, It looks much better And bigger in person
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you all again.

Tiny Power Room

Hi Everyone I thought I would show you my tiny  power room. So Tiny It's hard to take good pictures. This room also has a lot of color in it, just the way I like it.
Here is the furniture style vanity I bought  five years ago at Kirklands  For $150.00( nothing was wrong with it ) they were getting rid of last year's stock. Boy was I happy All the way home( Mr Rooms not so much since he had to lift it into and out of the truck.

 Here is a close up it 's faux painted and has a brown marble top (love it).
 This is with the Light on It 's so small it' hard to get  a good shot. I did this wallpaper about the same time I got the vanity. I still love it.
 Here is the light fixture Oil rubbed bronze. Purchased at the Great indoors.
 Sorry about the flash I have lot's of things on the top of sink. (I like it that way).
Now this is what you see when doing your business. (He HEHe).

A New Coffee Table.

Hello and welcome to another day here at Rooms By Ann. Today  I can' t decide which table to keep.
This is my old table . I love it but need something a little darker.

 This is it in my family room.
 This is my new find I love the black with the inlay of gold around the top.
 

Here she is in the family room, I can't help but feel she maybe a little small. The thing is I love the look and color so I would want the same thing in a larger size. Can't find it I have been looking.

Table Tops Around The House...

 This is the chest in the entry way .
 This is my coffee table in my den.
 This is a side table in my den.(craigslist find more later).
 This is the side table in formal living room ( not sure how I feel about the wire).
These two are in my kitchen the top is my kitchen table with a mirror I am re-doing,the second is my kitchen counter, Can you tell it's still not finished.You can kind of see what I am hiding in the background. By the way the picture of the bunnies home made (more to come on that).

stay tuned......Linking to http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/2012/03/106th-table-top-tuesday.html

Master Bedroom.

Hello everyone today I would like to share my masterbedroom with you. I am in the middle of making a few changes. I am on the hunt for  four large pictures for the wall leading into the mater bathroom.Sit back and get ready for a lot of pics.
This is the view as you enter the room.

 As you can tell I like a mix of fabrics.
 I had this headboard made just for this room because the ceiling are 12 feet tall.
 This is the bench at the end of the bed ( I found it in a consignment store) It needle point.
This is a very old pattern it's been around forever.

I love my headboard It's perfect and very comfortable (great for reading in bed)

Now This tv use to be in the sitting room which is now the office. I am looking for a cabinet that it will lift up from. Not crazy about it but I like to watch tv in bed.
This is a view from the former sitting room now turned office.
This is the messy office , I think this picture says it all.

My fireplace and old french armoire.
Close-up of armiore.
This is the view looking into the master bathroom. I am looking for four large pictures for both sides of the door. I also want a large chair and ottoman to pull in the color of the bombay chests and bring some blue in the room. Yes I want more color.
Thank for stopping by, Please take a moment and become a follower on the linky follower I don't want to lose any of you.

What going on in the Dining Room..

What's wrong with this wall?

Well remember when I said I was doing a gallery wall well I got side tracked, Instead I wandered into my dining room looked at this wall and felt something was missing, It needed more. Have ever felt like that ?    (Please stop by and follow me on Linky )
First picture.
 Here is the second one.
Here is what I came up with,  putting two of the pictures that was suppose to go on the staircase wall in here .These two pictures I have had forever , just put them in some new hob-Lob frames. I like it. (I really need a better camera).
 
  
Well that 's all for right now I am joining the Parties at http://frommyfrontporchtoyours.blogspot.com/   and

Breakfast Area

 Ok Today I thought I would share me Breakfast area with you, as you see I have no window treatments. I was ok with this but I think I want something So I decided to go with shutters but was not sure.
 Here is a close up of my table and chairs the use to be in my husband's office  and then he got a larger one and this came home and san in garage for a long time. I pulled it out one day and painted black with some distressing. The chairs I bought from Craigslist and they turned be real french chairs from the 18 century ( not one nail or screw) I love them. They are very strong and easy to care for with three growing kids, I clean them with pledge.
 This is looking back from my family room ( you can see the One shutter) I have lived with it for a while and thnk I will go ahead with the other windows.
 This is a better look at the shutter, It giveds you an idea of how the other windows will look. Thank you for stopping by.Please follow me on linky follower

Update

Ok, A few days ago I told you guys about cross site scripting. Here is the rest of the story . I was trying to put up a linky box for followers but no matter what I did internet explorer 9 would not let me, I even turned off the xss filter  as was suggested to me (it ' back on don't want anything BAD getting in )but still it would take it .It kept saying internet explorer had modified your page to prevent CROSS SITE SCRIPTING. So I tried networked blogs and it worked- sigh Ahhhhh. I did also contact the linky tools people ,There are so fast , I am still working with them, I will keep you updated.

Formal Living Room Goes Green......

 Well I know everyone has moved away from color but I just can't so here I went with a deeper shade of green.
 In the being I was not sure but as the weeks went on I think it has grown on me .I have even added new art work, Still have a few more pieces to go but I am taking my time in finding them.
 I think it makes the furniture look new and the colors pop.
The little pink chair will be getting a little make over and new drapes are on there way ,So I think for now I will keep the color green.
