Last week I shared with you the new hardwood floors, hand laid from scratch, sanding for 3 days, then 3 days of staining ... in our front room & dining room.
Now it took me/us maybe an hour or so to BOX UP everything, move all the furniture out of the living & dining rooms, thus
creating a 'pathway' thru the kitchen for a week.

Getting it ALL back where it came from has been a challenge, as I do not like change. When I place something in a 'spot' ... there it shall grow 'roots'. Not so this time ... I still have a box of treasures I have to 'find' a place for between the dining & living areas.
~Today I am also joining Cielo @ houseintheroses ~
to show you my favorite room. Of course, it is PINK!
Would you expect anything other ... chuckle!
This may have been a blessing in disguise as I am
actually changing things a wee bit, & kind of liking
it.
And, I found many things that I had long forgotten ...packed away. It was such a moment to find my Mother's Irish linens she had hand stitched ...
What gorgeous photos and I love how you found your mother's Irish linens.
ReplyDeleteA bit of change can be good for the soul, Marydon! I am so glad your found your mother's linens. That's wonderful...and I saw your room over at Cielo's. It looks lovely...and isn't Cielo a sweetheart? xxoo Diana
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to find your mother's Irish linen, see change is good:)
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful. I am just the opposite, I like to shuffle things around. It's always fun to discover things packed in boxes. I bet you were so excited to find the linens! Hope you're having a Happy Easter!
ReplyDelete*giggles* I love the cartoon ;P
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Marydon! Oh, Love how everything looks! Now, I want to change things all the time! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Very pretty and I admire your Hull vase!
ReplyDeleteHey Pretty Lady,
ReplyDeleteEverything looks amazing Marydon. I'm wishing you and yours all the best and a happy Easter.
God Bless,

Everything looks beautiful and know it is even prettier in person. So glad to hear from you and hear lots of good news. The package arrived safe and sound last week -- more formal thank you is coming -- and I am thrilled. My colors are pink and green and I love all the treasures!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs and love!
It looks so lovely there, Marydon. I'm not a big fan of change usually, either, although once in a while it is nice to do something a little differently.
ReplyDeleteI love "finding" things! How special that they are your Moms.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking down Easter tomorrow and plan on "changing" things around!
Warmly,
deb

ReplyDeleteYour floors are beautiful! I am glad you found the linens. I don't like a lot of change either,but sometimes just changing a tabletop lifts my spirits.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is nice to have a change, but I am one who doesn't change my home much either! I just finished unpacking the last of our boxes after the flood here in our home and it was fun finding things I'd forgotten about! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room and transformation!
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking room! My family wouldn't allow me to paint anything in pink..
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful home. I must get some photos posted of my house soon. I think that would be so sweet to find those lovely Irish linens. You have a pretty pink dining area. You should repost for Pink Saturday! Hugs Anne
ReplyDeleteYour new floors are wonderful and I love the way you put everything back! Finding your mother's linens is like frosting on the cake!
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
Love is grand-----Hoping you had a fun Easter day.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos...love all your pretties! Thank you so much for your words of comfort for my dear Toby. I have cried buckets of tears these last few days, but it is the comfort of sweet friends like you that hold me up during this difficult time...I can't thank you enough.

Hello sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteDid someone say Irish Linens? Swoon.
Loving the wall color. The floors look fabulous.
I'm visiting you from Cielo's SOYCOM! The room you shared is absolutely gorgeous.

It sounds like you are getting through all the work you've had done. The new floors would be lovely. Nice to be sorting through your treasures and reorganizing...thats a nice thing to do in the spring.
ReplyDeletehope you had a good weekend.

Looks beautiful. I used to hate change too, but now not so much. It is fun to find things we have forgotten about. It is like they are new again.
ReplyDeleteI wanna see those linens!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your room!

'Just stopped by to thank you for commenting on my blog. And to say that I hope you had a wonderful Easter!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading back here a little and I love your home! Your floors look fabulous and I love your crown molding and the archways in your home. Beautiful!
And I loved seeing the feedsacks on the line! Gave me such a feeling of nostalgia.
All the best,
Eileen
Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous--and I love that shade of pink and your chandelier!!

Dearest Marydon,
ReplyDeleteJust landed here from Orchid's Daily Voice and am following you now. So you have tackled the room for putting in a wooden floor. We've done that four years ago and we both LOVE it. Why did we ever have carpet?! A lot of work but worth it. Great for finding your mother's Irish linens that were tucked too far away... That's one blessing coming out of this.
You did write about Holland where you'd traveled to a lot. Guess you really mean North and South Holland the two most western provinces. The country is called The Netherlands and I'm from the most southern province of Limburg. One can compare North and South Holland with North and South Carolina... But thanks for liking my birth country!
Lots of love,
Mariette
Marydon that room is beautiful. I love that color of pink you have on your walls. Now that would put me in a good mood everytime I would walk into it!!!!!! I know it has been a lot of work...but so worth the effort.
ReplyDeletesending big, big hugs...
What a beautiful room--that shade of pink is perfect! Thanks for stopping by my blog and visiting!
ReplyDeleteMary
Your pink room is so pretty! Glad you showed it off!
