Christmas catus

All my plants love it here in Maine and so do I! This one is bursting with color! I had made sure to have a southern exposure in the new house so I could bring my garden inside. I'm excited to see if I can grow the elephant ear and begonias in here. 

This crazy lamp post was bolted to the front porch when we moved in. So wrong...anyway,  John put a new tongue and grove ceiling on the porch and wired up this cool light.

Of course I had to bring the street light into the studio and use it for a chandelier. We ordered a fifty pound weight from Wal mart. They shipped it as is and then he drilled it to attach it and wired it up for inside.

 Gaudy  as hell, I know, but that is the look I am going for. Besides I needed a new substrate for all my baubles. I will be tweaking this as I think it need something.

Trashed this idea....not all things work.

Riki is getting settled in and doesn't even stir when the pipes bang like hell when the steam heat comes on. He is braver than I, John was on nights and it scared the crap out of me.

 My first haul from Main Street Mercantile...just blocks from my house and then a second.

The bathroom needs a redo so in the mean time all this pink sure makes a girl feel right at home.

I ordered fifty two porcelain cabinet knobs...love them. The upper right hand knob was the original and too big and too mushroom y. It makes a big difference even though a small detail.

Just a peek at the upstairs runners! I love all the rugs!
