Long Time - No Slice!!!

Well, here are the photos of Katie's room that I promised. It is quite a change over pink stripes, yellow walls and white battenburg window treatments. It's more grown-up looking. Almost all of the art work on the walls is Katie's work. We framed everything we could that didn't require custom sizes. Have only the odd size pieces left to do.
I made the window treatments - Katie picked out the fabric.

The black chest isn't finished - it will get white paisley design painted on it that will be highlighted with white mother of pearl buttons. The top is crackled. The cedar chest at the end of the bed was my mom's and is full of antique dolls and linens. This was my way of keeping it in Katie's room. I padded it and covered the top in fabric as well as painting the trim on the bottom. I left the main body the cedar color since the wood is still pretty.

The bulletin board frame is covered with jewels, pearls (both white and pastel) and pieces of the black and white check that was used as the lining of the drapes. It is really McKenzie - Childs looking and displays all of Katie's favorite, inspirational "stuff".

Most of the art work between the doors is Katie's.
The small table was a find at a neat store in San Antonio. It has a black and white tile top that goes along with all of the black and white check. The teapot that is sitting on the table is what inspired Katie to go with turquoise/aqua. It was a birthday gift from a good friend of hers and it has red cherries on it - another of Katie's favorite things.

The entertainment center was an old piece of furniture from Lisa and Jason. We stained and polished it to freshen it up. The small lamp is covered with the same fabric as the lining of the drapes and was in Katie's nursery as an infant.

The last picture is a not very good close-up of Katie's baby changing table/dresser that has been painted black and crackled. I'll post another when I actually get it finished. I couldn't resist the fake cherries. I've always liked the " Life is just a bowl of cherries" quote (or Chair of bowlies if you are a Mary Englebreit fan!!!) Notice out the back window -------No screen house!!! It has made a huge difference in the appearance of the yard.

Well as they say in the old cartoons, "That's All Folks!!!" Until next time - Adios from the Simones!
