My rockin’ bedroom chandelier and sconces!!!

Yep, I love them!! It’s the nicest thing I have in my bedroom so far! (UPDATE:!!!! Ok for you guys with your mind in the gutter,YES you know who you are ;) ;) ;) we are talking about DECORATIONS HERE!!! hahahahhaha. There are OTHER nice things in the bedroom besides decorating!!! I have to say that so my husbands pride doesn't take a beating LOL)
My bedroom is going under some major decorating! I have never in my life had a finished and decorated bedroom and so I’m finally doing it!! Don’t know how long it will take me but I’ll get it done eventually. Growing up I lived in my grandmother’s house with my mother and brother’s and sister’s and an uncle. The upstairs was pretty much neglected due to no money to spend on decorating. My bedroom was upstairs and it was ugly. The wallpaper had been on the walls for years and it was flowered pink and blue and half of it was off (probably because I tried to peel it off but couldn’t)…with dent in the walls and ugly blinds and curtains that matched and an ugly stained off white(brown) shaggy rug. I know, at least I had a bedroom and I am thankful for that but just once in my life I’d like to be able to go in my bedroom and look at something nice and not torn to pieces or stained, something that feels like me with colors that please me and blinds that work and are not crooked with pretty draperies that I’ll make of course. Is this vanity? Yeah probably, it’s not like it will make me a better person or anything but it will please my eyes to look at it and make me feel like I have a nice place to relax in. Who doesn’t like that? Everyone likes to relax in their favorite hideaway. Mine just happens to be in my bedroom, with my sewing machine and fabric and guitar and microphone and music sheets AND photography setup. Yes my bedroom is HUGE!! It is 15 x 24 and guess what??? It’s still not big enough!!! lol Not for all my hobbies. We also have a big entertainment center too so I need to get really creative here to get everything in it’s place. Anyhows here is my lovely half modern half traditional Chandelier and sconces.
Oh by the way, I got it at Kent’s in Yarmouth on sale for $135.00 and the sconces were 50 dollars each. I looked everywhere for lights and this was the only one that would attract my eyes and my pocketbook and still I think this is expensive. I may be a cheapskate! hehe

Chandelier time

See my fingers, see my thumbs???

 

See my fingers? See my thumbs? See my fist? You won’t run!!! lol

Got my nails done!!! Woohoo!!!

I’m not really a nail person although I really like my nails done but I just can’t handle it. Like they are so …so … uhm   long!!  and thick!! I can’t type, I can’t put on my contact lens.(And NO they are NOT colored!!!)  I feel like I have shovels on my hands!!! and I can’t scratch!!!! lol
I already broke one half way down my nail because I am sooooo rough!!! I am not a typical dainty lady, I am very heavy handed like my mother and grandmother were!! Oh well, what can you do? My hands serve me well though!

I only do my nails for special occasions and going to visit my daughter in Alberta was a special occasion and so I did my nails AND matching toes!!! hahaha  My hands entertained a baby on the plane ride for an hour!!! She loved the yellow one!! lol

I got them done at “Curl up and dye” a salon that my daughter used to work for by a lady named Shaunna. She did a really good job!! I have received many compliments on them all over Alberta and Nova Scotia and people wanting to know where I got them done, so I thought you fine folks might want to see them too. By the way, these are Shellac nail colors. I think I am saying that right!

These colors are going to be HOT for next spring 2014 too!!!

If you want to get them done,and you are not from around here, just e-mail a picture to your nail salon and ask them if they can do something similar?

Be thankful you have hands and feet to play with and use, do NOT take them for granted because you never know when you might not be able to use them!!!

I tell you BE THANKFUL!!!! Have a lovely hands and feet day!!!

 

P.S. I am pretty busy right now, altering a suit for a wedding, installing a house full of blinds and have a few blind to repair and more people that want blinds. Working on some bridesmaid dress and a wedding veil. I’ve got to take pictures of all the clothes I’ve made. I did manage to take pictures of my bright multi colored dress I made before going to Alberta and I thought I would be taking pictures of it there but I never got the chance to wear it! bummer! but the pictures my husband took here turned out really well!!! Stay tuned for them soon!! I’ll tell you what happened to my hair extensions in another post! sssssss (that was a half smirk!) lol
