Vintage Fixtures

Over the years I've found a few things that I would like to incorporate into the bathroom if possible. I love these old faucets and the old mirrors. The faucets may work on the old sink we're putting in(I'll show it tomorrow) and the shaving mirrors would be a great addition on the wall. I still need to find some fixtures for my clawfoot tub though-maybe this weekend when I'm antiquing in St. Louis!

The old Bathroom

These are just a few pics of our bathroom that we are finally getting remodeled after 17 years. I won't show you the awful vanity and the horrible bathtub-which I wish I could rip out myself!!!

It's not going to be fun-we only have one bathroom. But it will be great after it's done. I finally get to use my clawfoot tub and an old pedestal sink. Plus an old dresser with a pitcher and bowl vanity!

I'll keep you posted!

Carr Cares

Here's my 12 year old vehicle-my Toyota 4 runner. We bought it new and for the past 12 years I've hauled so much stuff in it(and it wasn't people either-there was no place for them to sit!). I don't think I've done much to clean it up in the past two years and since we haven't found another vehicle to replace it-it had gotten extremely dirty(I should have shown you the before pics, but I would have been too ashamed!) It took Sam 10 hours-yes 10 hours to clean my vehicle and she looks brand new. I was so excited about how good it looked-I even hugged him. This is Sam Carr-and if you need a car cleaning-waxing, shampooing, vacuuming and want an exception job done-he's the one to take it too! I couldn't be more pleased!!!

The extra details he took with the inside is amazing-he gets in places I couldn't even begin to get into!

She's still got some wear on her-but I could drive her for another couple of years-these 4 Runners are the best vehicles-I haven't had any trouble with her and she's got 161,000 miles on her.

Check out that dash-what a pretty sight to look down at now!!!

Here's his information if you live in the area!

Thanks Sam!

Red Floral Tin

I don't know about you-but I love vintage tins. They're great to store small items in and they remind me of my grams(I used to love to rummage thru her tins full of not only buttons, but nick nacs of various kinds). The plus side is they're still reasonable in cost and the graphics are wonderful!

Abingdon Circa 1945

My friend Amanda gave me some really neat treasures a couple of month's ago and I'm just now really taking the time to go thru it. She has each item wrapped up like a little treasure. This double candlestick was in the box. I don't know much about it-but the shape is really good!

Celebrating New Years with Friends

For the past several years we've went out on New Year's Eve with one of my best friend's from high school-Kelsie and her husband Bryan. It's a good tradition and we love seeing them. We ate at 5:00 and left at 7:00 though-I've just been so tired lately and am ready to catch up on some rest this week-3 days off-YEAH!

Happy New Year

As the time strikes midnight...... Happy New Year and a Blessed 2012!
