Hardships of Remodeling


No one said it was going to go smooth as pie, but one could only hope! Right?

Unfortunately our kitchen renovation just keeps lingering on. The fabulous marble flooring I picked out, has turned into the biggest pain in my side. Most of the tile came in flawed (rust stains from packaging), so I have been working with my vendor to acquire more tile to finish the floor for months, and to our dismay we learned that they sold their entire stock to Lowes. So up to Lowes I go and order, with hopes we might be able to get this kitchen to completion very soon! Only to find that the lots do not match when it comes in.

So now my sweet husband Beau is removing all the tile that was put down and now I have to find that perfect fit for the Kitchen, again.

I just keep telling myself that the end result will soon be here! Hopefully sooner than later! And in the middle of all of this, a portion of our beautiful clay tile roof has been blown off by the insane storms we have been having, and I have decided to spruce up the house!
I must say that my husband does to deserve "Husband of the Year!"
If he doesn't kill me first!

April Showers Bring May Flowers! I am so looking forward to May!

Material Girl "literally"

Sorry for the delay in posting, honestly I have no idea where the time has went?
I have been helping out the hubby on his business ventures and that has left me behind in mine. But the good news is I have been able to get to a favorite hot spot of mine.
The Fabric Hut!
So it is official, I am a Material Girl, while I can definitely relate to the one Madonna describes in her music, this time I am literally a material girl. I go into the shop and fall in love the textures, colors, and then I find myself checking out with fabric I do not have definite plans for, but know that I can not live without! With prices that are just too good to be true, it is a recipe for indulgence, the one thing on my resolution's list that I am not adhering to, and it is only February! But do know I have wonderful intentions; One day I hope to have a studio with lovely one of kind furniture that I have put together in my times of hunt and capture, and pieces of art that I have created, and also beautiful lighting, and decor that you just can't find here in good ole West Virginia. (Let me know squatty wing members if you think that it would be somewhere you would visit?)
So if you have some projects that you are working on and need affordable fabric, please head over to the Fabric Hut in Elkview, West Virginia! I had to share my little place with anyone that is looking for fabulous fabric on a budget! Check out the pictures! You might think wow this place is a zoo, but my eye twinkles when I walk in.
Until we meet again!
April
