Bacon and Burlap

It seems I've cooked bacon 3 days in a row...the smell was in my hair

permeated the rooms

and did I say my hair?...yuck!

Just sayin...

does that bug you too?:)

I know I am using rings with clips..kinda looks like they tied theirs onto the rings doesn't it?

These I am going to buy!  I LOVE them and they make my heart happy.  Worth every penny.  Thinking my master bedroom when I get to it??:)

I repainted the eat in { Behr's Sands of Time } which is the color in the formal dining room.  It is a shade lighter than our living area.  The eat in was painted the darker color in the living area.  

I liked the { Behr's Quietude } - it just didn't go with the cherry cabinets and wood floor...{ which I do not like..the cabinet color that is...to red for me }
I think I would have to repaint cabinetry and all the living area to paint the blues that I love.
I can live with this for awhile.

I really like it much better now that it flows with the rest of my house paint colors... for now.

 {I am working on lots of projects right now so excuse the mess...soon I will be posting them all }

A tasty morsel to chew on before you go....

 I love the layered bedding, burlap headboard, chandaleir, tin ceiling and the dreamy snowflakes!

Couldn't you just spend a cold winter's night in that bed?

Interested in some Burlap History?  It's from 2009 but really interesting
