This Ol' House- Bedroom Tour

 I feel awkward just typing the name of this post, but what else do you call a post on your bedroom? My bedroom is finally coming together! Last week I sold my big black dresser and was able to move in my Grams dresser that she had left to me. I can't tell you how excited I am to have it! I have many memories of trying on her jewelry and the bright lipstick that she loved, while in front of this dresser. It's funny, as much as she was a tomboy, she loved jewelry and super bright lipstick!
 This is looking in from the doorway and the hall.
 I love this dresser!
 Please excuse the mess on top of my cabinet. Mental note to self, make sure the stuff you're hiding in your pics isn't reflected in the mirror.
 Things I love: Nail polish (don't worry I have more than that!) and scarves.
 My SIL gave me this cute little ottoman a while back. I can sit on it in front of my dresser!

 This glass thingy was my Grams as well. And the tallest perfume on the back left was hers. I don't wear it, but it's there for memories.
 Actually all of the glass items on my dresser were hers! She was fancy!
 Now that it's getting colder outside, I need more light in my bedroom to warm it up. I impressed myself when I used my power drill to use a drill bit to make a hole for the curtain holder, and then I screwed it in! I do love my power drill!
 My curtain ties are actually just fabric ribbon that a friend had given me a few years ago, but they match my pink accented bedroom perfectly!
 I have a necklace holder on the back of my door for all of my larger necklaces, but found that my smaller ones were getting tangled in it. Enter in this fabulous little thing that my momma made me! #sheiscraftyandthensome
This hangs right by the lights and switches when you enter my room, and right along side my dresser.

 Some people are really great at arranging pillows in a decorative manner and looking all fancy. I am not one of those people. This is the best I've got and yes, it struggles.

My Mom is making me a black dust ruffle for my bed. I have a super tall bed, so I can store things underneath. My house is not big on lots of closet space, so storage is key!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
