  1. Our bedroom was the catchall for 20+ years. Now that we are empty nesters without a dog and are redecorating, we're going in for simplicity and pretty. I know I'll read on the bed sometimes, so I went for a darker colored spread. And the three extra pillows I bought several years ago just 'make' the room. Dh has even been putting the two fancy pillows and the shammed pillows back on the bed when he makes it. And he's finally taking his shoes off before stepping on the new carpets. Yes!! It's only been a couple weeks, so we'll see how long this lasts. 🙂
  2. What?! You still have Woolworths?! My favorite store to wander back when I started college. A store I could afford. lol
  3. Now my favorite is half white and half red wheat! Tastes kind of blah without the red. 😉
  4. My favorite guilty pleasure--Velvet. I speak no Spanish and had to read every line, but I watched the whole series. lol The actors and the fashions- they were dress designers- made this show something I couldn't stop watching. lol And now I see there was a 2 season spin-off I'll need to find.😉
  5. Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted grains and can be found in the freezer.
  6. These were ordered at the Menards store. Dh had no problem putting them up! They were 25% off on sale.
  7. We have two big windows in the corner of our bedroom, and we just installed cellular window shades. Thinking I should have some kind of curtain. Thinking about this type of sheer. Yes? No? Something else?
  8. My plan has always been to have a homeschool lending library. I have some boxes of books in the garage that were donated for that, and I am finally ready to go through the rest of my books. Really wish the homeschool community here owned a place to have a library. Will definitely keep the literature in my personal library. Dd is in school to be a teacher, and we had a blast finding books from our collection for the various categories she needed each week. In the end, the only type I didn't have were hispanic. Fixed that right away! lol I am ready to start sorting through the rest tho, and getting rid of some homeschool books. It's only been three years since dd graduated. 😉
  9. Last one was a GE microwave/convection oven. Never did use the convection oven- didn't take the time to figure out using it, but dh said this was it so I took it! Current one is a Whirlpool.
  10. Forgot we still have the secondhand cherry bedroom set from 43 years ago. Did swap out the bedframe (full) for a queen with a matching headboard. Just lent one of the end stands to dd for her new place, and am putting the large dresser mirror in the closet for the first time so the room feels less cluttered. My mom's still using pots and pans from her wedding in 1955.
  11. Lots of stuff. Still have the bridal book with the gifts, shower games, and other games listed. Just threw away the crockpot from 1978 when it stopped working. Kept the last dishtowel from one aunt, wore the others and my original bath towels out. Blender and utensil jar are from my maid of honor. Still have two of the three of the set of Corelle casseroles. His aunt worried that they'd break. Only lost the big one, which is fine for us now. haha. Have been busy buying pieces of silverware as the garbage disposal must have destroyed a lot of it with kids doing dishes over the years. Decorative items are still in use- plate from my aunts, afghan from his mom, planter from a friend's mom shaped like a tree with our initials on the back. Seldomly used, but three crystal bowls we got are in the glass cabinet. My mil took me shopping and we picked out a coffee table that I still love. I went back and got a couple round end tables to match. We got the card table and chairs-- which have been heavily used through the years, the following Christmas.
  12. I have a pine cabinet in the kitchen where I store the bags of spices and other awkward sized items until I can use them to refill the jars in the spice cabinet/shelf. I also have the cookie making extras here, sprinkles and such. I have some dark blue jars from supplements that I want to build a spice rack for, where all my most loved spices will be in identical jars.
  13. I was wondering the same thing! Nice that you could learn/master something new this year! We were talking about maybe doing this for work, but none of us has any idea how to do it.
  14. I just bought a dark grey carpet called Carbon Copy for our bedroom. Trying to pick out a bedspread was hard, but I was always drawn to blues. The duvet has light violet flowers on it, so I may go a lavender color for the walls. And the blue spread I bought, with three different levels of color, may lead me to blue walls. I did an icy blue in ds's old room that would work, too. I know I tend to like clear clean colors, not muddied ones. Think I'm going to move greys into my kitchen too, with owl grey walls and the deeper grey/charcoal color for the backsplashes. Will use yellow accents as I'm headed toward a beehive theme.
  15. I cut back from 20,000! Helped to sort by sender, then I knew all from this one and that one could go.
  16. Each of the kids can keep one and the rest go??
  17. I like the fourth one the best. Also liked this one that I thought could work if you wanted it a bit shorter. https://www.jjshouse.com/A-Line-Scoop-Neck-Asymmetrical-Chiffon-Evening-Dress-With-Beading-Sequins-017209162-g209162?pos=similar_styles_1&filterColor=stormy
  18. Dh is over 6' and I'm on the short side. It's so hard to keep us both happy with furniture!

    I guess I read it over too quickly. Sorry. I am at work and glancing in here. Will go delete.
