Dressing up Bessie

 Apr 7, 2010

Sarah alerted me to the fact that she was overhauling her entire house, so I hopped on over to her blog Baby Steps with Bessie to take a peek. (Anyone who names their house, let alone names their house"Bessie," is alright with me!)

 So here was Bessie's dining room. Ack! Shield your eyes! Let's get a close up of that wallpaper. I see mallard ducks floating among be-ribboned baskets of flowers. Home Sweet Home indeed. A little too sweet. I'm afraid.











Ahhhhh, it's like you can breath in here now! And let's take a look at the living room. Be prepared for another assault on your eyes, this time from the lava-like glow of the magenta carpet.








And after! If springtime looked like a living room, it might look just like this. Thanks Sarah! By the way, I see you! Check out more of Bessie's progress over on her blog HERE.

Seeing how the stone looks painted on the fireplace after, makes me wish I owned my place and could do the same! What a FANTASTIC change. :)

I can't figure out how mallard ducks and baskets are related. I'm just glad that Bessie doesn't have to deal with them any more!

Thanks for featuring me here...Bessie has been a labor of love...we only have a couple of projects left to go...

This is a recycled HUD property on 10 acres...we are now mortgage free!

After all the before and after photos are posted, we will be hosting a renaming party...because somehow Bessie doesn't fit anymore, she isn't the same worn out cow sitting in her pasture that she once was... ;0D

Blessings and thanks for stopping by!

Just beautiful! Once I get a house, I'm going to fill it with recycled/upcycled furniture.
