Pink Saturday – Decorating Update
Posted by Sandra under My Favorite Things, Pink Saturday, The Kitchen, decorating
It’s Pink Saturday again at Cottage Dreamer! Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for once more hosting this fun day of sharing all things Pink!
It’s been a busy week. I’ve finally gotten to the point where I realize that if I don’t do it – no one will do my decorating. I did get my son to come over and help a bit last weekend and I hope to be able to get him to help me put up drapes and curtains this weekend.
The first set of photos is of a small vignette that I set up in my kitchen. I used to have a big ole clunky counter top oven in this area – the kind that’s bigger than a toaster oven. I never really used it anymore so decided it was time it could go live somewhere else and if I need it I can dig it out again.
I have a small two cup tea maker that was hiding out in the corner – so I wanted to make it more accessable. There’s also a plate that has a clock in it that my son gave me that I wanted to show off. Then I made a trip to Home Goods and got an adorable small teapot, a tea cup with a lacey saucer, and a small basket with a sweet bird on the handle. In the basket I’ve put a few bags of tea. I thought I had some Constant Comment, but couldn’t find it. Mostly I use loose tea in the teamaker, but didn’t want to put that out in the “display.” And, to keep in the spirit of Pink Saturday one of the quilt placemats I had in another post is making an appearance in its new home.




And now for another of my ongoing projects – my bedroom.
When I remodeled my condo I decided to put my bedroom in the second room and keep the bigger bedroom for what I call my “dayroom.” It has my computer desk, a big lounge chair, and right now way too much “stuff.” So, I have to take one room at a time, and right now it’s my bedroom. I hope to have photos of the third bedroom in a week or so – it’s my craft/sewing/embroidery room.
I purchased this bedding set almost three years ago and finally got it all ironed and ready to go. I do need Dave to help me put up the curtains and valance. I *thought* I’d ordered the quilt but ordered the bedspread – so – under the bedspread is a dust ruffle. I didn’t figure out what a mistake I’d made until we had the dust ruffle on. But, I’m really happy I got the bedspread because of the gathers around the edge. Also, I can now take the dust ruffle off and I’ve got lots of material to make other things – like maybe a few more pillows.
I took a lot more pictures but took them late at night, so will see if I can get some additional ones on Saturday morning. If not, then I will take more before next week. I hope to have more things done in the room – like curtains up (did I say that before?)
I thought you might like to see how the room progresses as I finally get the bedroom I’ve always wanted.


Thank you for stopping by!
