The Pink Room Make Over

During the time that my computer was dead and broken,

 We did manage to accomplish many "new home" DIY updates.

I thought that you may like to see the finished Master Bedroom make-over...

 Here is the "BEFORE" picture!

It may be hard to see, but the BRIGHT PINK

 was also very GLOSSY!!

(also the previous "teen-gals" used an abundance of

strong musk cologne that lingered heavy in the room for months)!

 

Many of you prayed for Mommy last spring..

(Pulmonary embolism)

and it is such a blessing to see her up on a ladder!!

She is such a HUGE Blessing in our lives! 

(wouldn't listen to me to stay down)!

And her expertise was priceless!!!

 Do you believe that she will be 89 this March?

(Thanks to ALL who PRAYED

and Glory to God)!

And he said, The things

which are impossible with

 men are possible with God

                             Luke 18:27     

(Hubby-Bear and I  did of course do the muscle stuff)

(I also can't help to boast a wee bit, that I hung the paper

on two whole walls all by myself while Mommy and Hubby-Bear

had gone off to their slumber)

   

Hubby-Bear doesn't mind this "Flowery Room",

for he has his own "Bear Den"- "Man Cave" to escape to,

where no flowers or fluff are allowed, when he needs a breath of

Man Bear Air!

My Grandma Omi made this Pillow cover when she lived

 in Germany when Mommy was a little girl!

(it was one of the few things that didn't burn

during the intense Berlin bombing!.....

only two small suitcases of belongings came through)

It is a CHERISHED reminder of  life's

struggles and God's grace

and provision

Here is a picture of Omi after she arrived in the USA

(post WWII)

Mommy and Omi always expressed THANKFULNESS

and never looked back at their WW II struggle.

(I posted a You-Tube video of their

 own city after the bombing that you can watch below bottom)

 Mommy made this for me when I was a little girl!

Each piece of silk or satin holds a story of someone in the family.

 The pink around the border was taken from my own baby bassinet!

And the turquoise blue is a piece of Mommy's maternity blouse!

Others are swatches from dresses or ties from three generations.

I remember sitting beside her as she embroidered all the colorful

stitchery.

Missy is struck by the elegant Beauty of this charming China  Lady

that we have named Mary after

A cherished  desk fits so well in it's new residence

(we are still wondering what we will do with the thrice painted floor)???

 green- greener -to chippy brown.....sigh..

 Got any ideas??

 The antique books are kept safe behind the glass doors,

 and are relieved to be out of the boxes they were trapped in for the move.

Aren't glass paperweights just lovely?

"It's my one weekness"

(as Dorcas Lane of Candleford would say)

These were fun to collect from flea markets or yard sales.

http://exhibits.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/barker/hist_pw.php

Here are some interesting sites about paperweights

                                                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperweight

This shelf belonged to Hubby-Bear's Mom and she proudly spoke of

 how it came over on the Boat from England.

(I hope I can remember soon where I packed the shelf pegs...

somewhere very safe so as to not get LOST)!!

There is another rug braided by Mommy, and the chair pad was made by my Omi

Mama and Papa Mousiekin especially like the new room

for they are planning to hold a BALL here!

They will be using a music box that was a gift to my

 Great Grandma (paternal)and then handed down to me.

 It plays two beautiful waltzes.

Simon says:
"Always be Thankful"



                       
                                            Mommy was here and survived this! 
                                    (she met my dad as a result of the Berlin Airlift
                                              another incredable story)! 

  Rejoice evermore.
 Pray without ceasing.
 In every thing give thanks:
 for this is the will of God in
 Christ Jesus concerning you.
                               Thessalonians 5:16-18
