Bedroom Update-Overdue

It's been a minute since we (and by we...I mean Mr. Seventies) painted the master bedroom!  The main hold out - finding lamp for the night tables.  After weeks of frustration...I finally settled on a set I can tolerate - only to find ones I'm obsessed with...but didn't purchase...(more on that farther down) .......in the first photo you can see the lamps I settled on....

 

Liesel's warm & cozy crate....covered during the winter months....she loves burrowing in at bedtime.....

Now....for the lamps I came across....(after I had settled for ones out of frustration)....and I didn't purchase....

My reasoning at the time for not purchasing them - they weren't as tall as I wanted....so I left them!  Silly woman.   And of course, when I returned to buy them.....someone had purchased one!  I was heartbroken.  My friend in New Brunswick checked in the stores where she lives....but no luck.... 

Daughter now reports the second one is gone as well.  Serves me right....I know better.  I'll keep checking...but am not hopeful.    So....moving on...

While thrifting one afternoon....I'd been searching for a bouquet of faux hydrangeas....any colour...(I knew I could dye them)....when I came across this pretty bunch...no dying required.  And the ceramic vase I found on a separate shelf...

And found a much needed casserole dish....after one similar met a disastrous fate in our vehicle.....while I was driving.  I was bringing my dish home from daughters & set it on the passenger side floor.  I had sent a rather large dachshund snow globe with the Christmas decorations....and since she had one already....I was bringing it back home...I set it on the passenger seat.  See where this is going?

I had to brake suddenly.....the snow globe went flying to the floor.....smashed into bits....and broke the casserole into a gazillion pieces!  Not to mention liquid & sparkles from the snow globe....went everywhere!  As good as Mr. Seventies was able to clean & dry the area....it will be spring before the sprinkles can be fully vacuumed out!  Looks like a party happening all the time....

My new to me dish....I paid around $5 for it....it was discount day at the thrift store....and just the size we need.  If you haven't been pricing casserole dishes....be warned...they are crazy expensive now....

I ordered another box of the appliance cord organizers....they work so well & easy to stick on any kitchen counter appliance & keep the cord neat & tidy...

We had friends drop in for a much welcomed afternoon visit....they live on the Island....a couple of hours drive from us.  It was wonderful to catch up....and they gave me a sweet floral bouquet....

Mr. Seventies has the stucco in the third bedroom removed!  I suspect the stucco was applied to hid that no drywall tape had been used where the walls meet the ceiling creating quite a gap.  Thankfully, it's the only room where it was not used.  Nothing in this seventies split surprises us anymore....

Rather than continue to wait for our usual seam filler.....since he is so busy....we have a lead on one who comes highly recommended ( the husband of our friend's niece).   Hope to get in touch with him this week...fingers crossed he can squeeze in this small job...

In the meantime.....I've picked a paint colour for the walls....I'm not shy about colour...as you know if you've been reading here for a while!  This is the bedding set from Waverly that will be going on the twin bed....with matching window valances.

I carried a valance with me to the paint store & brought home a few paint chips....and pulled a colour  to go on the walls.  It's bold..... you can be certain it isn't beige...

And lastly.....I can't say enough about this charger I was gifted for Christmas!  It can charge phones, ear pods and Apple Watch.   No more fishing for charger cords....this sets on the counter...ready for use when needed.  It plugs into any outlet...and charges my iPhone and Mr. Seventies Samsung phone...

We've had a number of "snowy" days....but no major accumulation or storms popping up in the long range.  Liesel has a spa appointment today & I will stroll around Home Sense while she is being done....
