Love Finds

Look what Hubby brought home! Isn't it the cutest find? (craigslist of course!) I think this man is a keeper! (Well, and so is this little gem....:)

And while I'm at it, here are some super groovy pics of our original green bathroom.

 This toilet seat rocks! (Not literally, thank you.)

 The atomic tiles couldn't be cooler.

 Love the lighting too.

The original floor.....so sad they covered it. I had to display a sample out of respect. And yes indeed, this is a pretty cool towel! :)

Before I go, check out the view this morning from the slider in the hall. Every day I find another reason to love the Love Shack!

Selah.....

The dust has settled and we are enjoying the Love Shack so much! The best and most enjoyable thing about our new home is the loved ones who are coming to enjoy it with us! We have already had many dear friends come, and anticipate lots more visits from friends and family. "Our Love Shack is your Love Shack".

Some of you have asked for more pictures, so here you go. We still have some little things to do, but there are always little things to do. Life goes right on, doesn't it? Imagine if we waited until all of the "little things" were done before we could start living?

Hubby brought this wonderful floor lamp home from work with him one day. Then a few days later, he brought these fabulous chairs! Thank you, Honey...for being the craigslist addict that you are!

We decided to go with the dark red carpet that was in the master bedroom because it is wonderful carpet in great shape. It inspired this sort of "Hollywood" theme that we will continue to play with. I LOVE my silver lamp that my dear daughter-in-law bought for me....another craigslist find.

The living room came together nicely we think. The Love Shack received our things with open arms.

We love this 2 blade "airplane" ceiling fan in the sitting area of the dining room. Hubby didn't love installing it though, I guess it was a real pain. He is a patient man.

Ah....the dining room light. A winner!!!

I will continue to post as the Love Shack grows and changes. We hope to one day remodel two bedrooms into a super cool master suite. But for now, the Love Shack is content. Because the most important thing about our beautiful nest is feathering it with love......

Nooks and Crannies

We are so excited to finally be moving into the Love Shack this weekend! Did I ever share our ever so cool shower door with you?

And here are some back yard treasures. Hubby wanted to take them down immediately. I insisted we leave them up for a while. I think they have grown on me. What do you think?

One last tidbit, our original green bathroom sink and counter. Oh yea........

The Love Shack is full of treasures.....and love.

Lovin' our Shack

The floor is done!! Well, except for some finishing touches. Let's say it is done enough that we can actually move into the Love Shack this weekend. We are so excited, it has been a long road "home", but we know it will all be worth it. This is our entry way, the back side of the fireplace. One of our biggest regrets is that this half wall had some flocked wallpaper on it, but it was gold and we didn't like it. (Make a note people, flocked wallpaper looks awesome painted!) Sadly, I was hasty and had already scored the paper for removal, so it could not be saved with paint. But.....happily, we found what we think is an awesome look that we were able to apply right over the wallpaper! Atomic indeed!
Oh, and I just had to share another amazing display with you. These never get old......
 

Soaking It All In

Work on the Love Shack has been slow. Yet we are enjoying every minute of life in our new home. Some tools and things were stolen out of Hubby's truck this week while it was parked in our driveway. Even that evil deed didn't stop us from loving it. So take that, bad guys!
The hot tub is in, and this is our view when we are soaking in it. Sweet.
