PARLOR~ AND SUN ROOM make over

((Before))

I have not been blogging so often lately 

and one reason is because I

have a neck injury that knocked me for a loop!!

 I had been busy 

with some projects!

(and my neck has suffered great consequences

probably due to taking on projects )!! 

When HubbyBear took a weekend trip away,

I thought that it would be a perfect opportunity

to paint that parlor!! So I rolled up my sleeves and took it on!!

I figured that it couldn't be that hard if I 

just tackled one section at a time!! 

Although the wall color wasn't too bad when we moved in,

it was rather darkish and also being shiny

it showed all it's imperfections!

Right away the brightness gave a cheery feel!! 

Hmmm I wonder if HubbyBear 

will notice?

Before I started this painting project

we had acquired a beautiful 

Hearthstone Soapstone Wood-burning Stove

that we found on Craig's list for a great price.

So I was glad to get the painting finished

before HubbyBear installed it! 

                    

~a perfect fit!~

Beautifully warm and cozy!

(right next to the faux fireplace) ;-)

It is so much brighter and cozier now!! 

I moved my ~Great Walking Wheel~

over and now it is easy to use regularly! 

We Love heating with wood

and our main source is in the basement

                                                               

It heats wonderfully,  but then the door is closed

and you go back upstairs! 

There is just something

 about sitting next to a stoked fire

The Sun room needed a new floor!

  And it is always fun to change things around

     and add some new antiques and nick~knacks!

Many of the antiques represent 

milk processing 

                                               

cream skimmer

Butter curd press

                          

So when finished 

it only made sense

to re~name the little sunny nook

 "The Creamery"!

Mama and Papa Mousiekin 

have been busy too!!

For they have a new "Housiekin"

A yard sale "bargiekin"!!!

                                                   

Hope you enjoyed!!

Many Blessings

Warmth and Love
