the big reveal is here! come on over...

okay, so my bedroom remodel #2073 is almost complete, lol!  

as i mentioned in my last post, i decided to move my new ethan allen end tables up to my bedroom. i think they look awesome on either side of my settee.

what do you think?

not sure if you can see the antique rug in the photo above, but actually i inherited it from my grandmother. it has been in her family for generations. i have others around this one happens to be one of my favorites!

below is a close up, you can clearly see how worn the edge of the rug is...love that look!

items like this rug that have been been passed down to me have even more of a sentimental value to me seeing that both sets of my grandparent have passed on. god rest their souls!

if you follow me on twitter, you may remember this tweet:

unfortunately, one of my aunts passed away from ovarian cancer. shortly after i started my blog almost 3 years ago, wow! hard to believe it's been that long! anyway, she had cancer and it spread quickly! after a few surgeries and removal of several organs she was given about 8-9 months but died about 2 months later.

so let me ask you, what is your most memorable wedding gift?  

anyway, speaking of gifts that have sentimental value my aunt gave us 12 placesettings of our sterling silver flatware [towle, legato] and ALL of our serving pieces! nice, huh! she was such a generous and stylish woman! so you know, every time i use my sterling silver flatware i can't help but think of her!

makes me sad just thinking about her death. she was only 61 years old when she died.   very sad, god rest her soul!

okay, back to my bedroom move. as much as i am obsessed with NAVY BLUE, i can't believe there is no NAVY BLUE in my color palette! ha! ha! ha!

i have to tell you these ethan allen end tables are perfect for storing all my HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, BETTER HOMES & GARDENS, TRADITIONAL HOME, VERANDA, TOWN & COUNTY, FOOD NETWORK, OPRAH MAGAZINE and MARTHA STEWART MAGAZINE collections! LOL! you can see a clearer image below:

one actually stores all my home decor magazines and the other holds all of my cooking magazines....such a FABULOUS idea!!! of course i had to place my urns in front!

i just love these mini staffordshire dogs, expensive little buggers [made in england] but i love them! i bought them on vacation in new orleans a few years back and have been searching for a large pair ever since! either i can't justify the cost or i don't like the style of the dogs!

time to "chilax" and watch the end of hawaii 5-0!

finally, below is an image in the morning with daylight in the background, so warm and cosy!
