Mercury glass Halloween

I usually don't decorate for Halloween but for some reason I felt like it this year.  At least on my dining room buffet.  I always loved Vincent Price movies that were based on Edgar Allan Poe stories when I was little and I still do.  So I thought I would do my favorite The Raven.

Now for another update on the master bathroom.  I got the panels painted around the tub and the window sills.  I really like the way it turned out.  My hubby says it looks too dark.  What do you think?  Should I repaint them white or leave them the way they are?  Here is the before.

Now the after.  I like the after since it matches the vanity now.

Fall dining room 2014

Fall has finally arrived in my dining room.  This has not been an easy task with that pesky bathtub in the way.  It wasn't easy getting this done on Sunday as we were working on the master bathroom too.  I am proud to announce that we finally got the shower area all tiled and now we need to finish the tub area. I also managed to get a little decorating done on the side.

So here are the pictures of the dining room table.

Next is the buffet area.  I decided to keep it simple this year.

I have an old sofa table that I still need to fix up.  I am thinking about adding a shelf down below and painting it black.  Right now it is holding my left over table decor that I will probably use on the covered deck area.

I was able to get the butler pantry area done also.

Now for a sneak peak at the master bathroom shower.  It hasn't been grouted yet.  I am thinking about using a darker colored grout which I will go get today.  I can't wait to get this bathroom done.  It has been two months now.

I thought I would close with a picture of my tub.  Right now it is coming in handy for holding some of my fall decor so my little dog Kolby can't chew on it.  He loves to chew on my silk flowers.

I am pretty sure that I am the only person right now that has a bathtub in their dining room.  This needs to be out of here before Thanksgiving.

My Dining Room

I haven't had time to post lately as our little Toby dog had to be put down on August 1st.  I didn't feel like doing too much to the house.  And of course my husband  just had to get a new dog and it is a puppy.  He takes us much of my time has he is all over the house.  I did manage to finally get my dining room in order yesterday.  I had been using it for painting the kitchen cabinets.  Here are a few pictures.  We replaced the light, had a wall added between the living and dining room and I painted it a warm yellow. Wouldn't  you know it that as soon as I get it cleaned up and decorated it is almost time to decorate for Fall.

Here is a picture of the overall room.

I haven't figured out what else I want to do with the shelf on the hutch but I did get the top of it decorated.

I still need to finish below the buffet but here is what the top looks like.

My husband talked me into putting a mural on the other wall of the room.  I had the furniture there first and he didn't like it.  We had the wall put in when we moved in.  It was open to the living room on the other side.  It has now become his office.

Here is a picture of my table.  I went to Pier 1 yesterday and purchased the place mats, napkins and napkin rings.  I also get the candle holders and candles there also. I got the plate at Marshall's.  Thinking ahead for Fall.

A closer shot of the table.

The last thing I need to do is make the panels for the windows.  Here is the material that I bought.  I actually is a much darker red than it shows in the picture.

Right now I am still working on decorating my kitchen, half way done with the guest bathroom and I still need to decorate the bookshelves in the library across from the dining room.
