Addy needs a new bed too!

Addy is in desperate need of a new bed herself, a whimsical-day dream perfect bed suitable for a little girl with a huge imagination. So I believe the winner is the pallet bed (#3). I already have all the parts to make it, but I can still daydream about all these other fun ones too right!?!

ahhh too many beds to choose from. I swear I would have to have a hundred kids before I got sick of decorating kiddie rooms! ugh so frustrating I love them all!!! what is a mama to do!?!?! which one can you picture for this little lady?

Another reclaimed wood sign for ya!

Earlier last week I took apart an old table, the one good will had rejected. Most of what was taken off was completely pulverized and rotted particle board, but there was one lonely little piece of wood, that I was convinced needed to find a new purpose for existing. As I was strolling through other people's blogs this weekend I came across a sign I thought was super cute. I found The Polished Pebble via one of my favorite blogs, The Lettered Cottage.  I am so glad they decided to feature her, because this woman created such a beautiful home! Here is the picture of the sign I really liked (the Lunch Sign).


( I also love love love the pillow!) You definitely should go check out The Polished Pebble's blog and the pictures of her home featured on The Lettered Cottage, because I for one can't stop myself from going back over and over and over! So anyway back to the original point, here is my own version of the Lunch Sign.

One of these days very soon I will get to start actually decorating with all of these things I have been making! April 4th is the date the movers come to pack up everything and make the long haul to Minnesota!! My Dad just told me that Minneapolis got 12 inches of snow though :-( I was sooo looking forward to Spring, I guess I will have to be a little patient! My parents however live in Hibbing, (a hour and a half south of Canada) and they just got a few flurries, so that seems promising. I will be living in Duluth, right off of BEAUTIFUL Lake Superior, hmmm...I wonder if there is driftwood that washes on to shore here?!?! (does freshwater have anything to do with it being driftwood? I mean to me the name implies wood that has drifted, but I have heard it is the salt that has absorbed into the wood that makes it so twisted and gorgeous?) Ok, get back to your Monday, I have rambled enough!
