A Partial Reveal at Heaven's Walk...

 

Good day, everyone!

Ok, ready for a pop quiz?

Remember the post I did on the family reunion that hubby and I showed up an hour late for because of that fabulous barn sale 

(that conveniently had a parking sign out front just for me)?  

Remember that awesome vintage dismantled fireplace mantel and side pieces I nabbed for a few bucks and painted my favorite creamy white?

Yup. That's the one.

Remember how I wanted it to be a part of our bedroom in one way or another?

Well.....that was....ummmmm....over a month ago.

Yeah. A month.

And the pieces were still laying prone and dormant in all of their beauty
on the wood floor of my study,

protected from the heat, humidity, and usual garage squalor.

I will admit, there was more than one occasion that I would sit at my desk and look longingly at them laying there,

and I would stroke the smooth, creamy whiteness of that wood.

For one.....long.....month.

Yeah. A month.

Do you know the plumber's leak that never gets fixed?

Yeah?

Well, this leak FINALLY got fixed.

Sort of.

I think Hubby got tired of the Barn Goddess' subtle hints, snarky suggestions, and relentless whining. (*wink)

So, on a recent Sunday afternoon you would have heard this in our bedroom:

"Honey, hold that piece straight."

"Which piece?"

"The piece you're holding!" 

"I'm holding three!!"

"Just hold it straight."  (cue famous rolling of eyes)

"Oh, no...."

"Oh no what?"

"I didn't bring enough screws with me.  Gotta go get more, so don't move the pieces you're holding."

"The THREE pieces I'm holding?!"

"Yup."

(growl) "You better hurry, maestro....." (cue feminine rolling of eyes)

"You're gonna owe me, you know..." (he throws casually over his shoulder)

Well, anyway, after an afternoon of grunts, groans, numerous eye rolls, traipsing up and down the stairs a multitude of times, a handful of screws, some scrap pieces of wood from our barn, primer, and paint ~

this, my dear friends...........

(No, those aren't painted stripes on my wall.  Just some weird ghostly thing going on....)

morphed into this!

(Sorry about the lousy picture quality on these photos.  The light was not cooperating with me.)

(Of course, my little man, Toby, decided it was a great photo op.)

The Goddess is giddy and beside herself that at least HALF of the bed project is now completed! 
And she feels like a queen sleeping in that wonderful repurposed bed.

"Hey, honey...? 

When do you think we could start on the foot board.....?"

(Ginormous groan from the maestro...)

Just wait til you see what I have planned for that!  

{Hugs}

and here's hoping your leak gets fixed today!

(Oh, and don't forget to pop over to Faded Charm today for
White Wednesday!  Meet you there!)
