There was a project that Dave tackled a few months ago that involved a little closet in the bathroom. It had been used for storage and what we found was a bag of old clothes. This dress was in the bag. It was in really rough shape and I threw it out. Then I decided to go dig it out of the trash because it was a piece of history of the family that lived in the house , The Bakers family.
My pictures are out of order. I wish I knew why they do this sometimes. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Back to the dress. The top of the dress was shot so I just played away with the old fabric. I took off collars and ruffles and created the top myself.

I found this sofa and chair and it just had to go to Eufaula.
Especially for the amazing price I paid.
Our next project will be on our most difficult room in the house.
I will need all the ideas I can get from you all.
I am loving the creams and browns and whites.
I am anxious to get busy on it next week.
That is if I don't play the whole time with friends that are coming for the Pilgrimage.
Hmmm work or play? What shall I do?

You are very talented! That dress is so nice. Looks like you have the makings for a beautiful room.
Creams, browns, and whites MY FAVORITE COMBINATION'S!!!
Sweet Becky, working on a house IS play :). You just need to convince your company of that so they'll "play" along side you...I know if I were there I would :)!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful day.

I am so glad you kept that old dress. It's gorgeous and so is the furniture. Love the wood work on them. I like the creams you are working with. HPS ~ Lynn
GORGEOUS!!! She is simply gorgeous! I need to get moving on all of the *stuff* I have saved to do one for me.
I see you found dreamincream...isn't it fun?! I'm going towards cream and brown too-on my shopping trip I didn't buy one thing with roses-(I still looked and admired) but bought different kinds of things to move towards the new style. I love it with the pale blue of your walls.
Blessings,

Oh, I am so glad you went and dug that old dress out of the garbage...it is a treasure. And that white sofa and chair are lovely.
I like your blog and enjoyed seeing all your pictures. I will come back when I have more time to browse.
On your pictures being out of order, what I do is after they load and you see done (but before publishing) you can drag the pictures to where you want them. Just put your mouse over the picture and hold it down and it should drag down.
