Paysen's room inspiration

I've been combing through my favorite files looking for ideas for our new house. I am in love with this play room from Restoration Hardware. I think the colors and paneling on the wall will be perfect for my daughter Paysen's room.


What do you guys think? I'm thinking about painting her bed a cool pewter/gray rubbed with black. This is what it looks like now.


This is what I want it to look like.


What do you guys think? Should I do it?

Barn sale

The barn sale is over and it was a HUGE success! We had so many shoppers Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We even had a significant amount of men shopping on Saturday! And not even sitting at the front waiting for the girls to finish! I mean actually walking around looking at all our cool junk.

Here are a few images from the sale...

This is the checkout counter



Here's my booth. Sadly (well, I'm not too sad about it), I sold the majority of my items the first day so there wasn't a lot for the next two days. Don't worry, next barn sale I'll be prepared and replenish every night for the next day.


Here's some of the booths that I really liked. I can't believe how many people were there! It was awesome!








And here's what I came home with. I'm stoked to move into this new house. I'm trying to go with a more industrial that shabby look. We'll see how it goes!


My sister Tara from junkrestore is the one who organizes it. If you want to be a vendor or want to join the mailing list to receive information about the next sale, e-mail junkrestore@yahoo.com. The next sale will be in June, but at an indoor area because it's too dang hot in Arizona to have it in the summer!

For Rent

My husband and I bought another house in our neighborhood and are looking to rent out ours.

4 bedroom, 2 bath, 1650 sq feet. We just put in really nice dark brown laminate wood flooring in the living, great room, and hallway. Tile in the bath, carpet in bedrooms. It has a huge yard with grass in the front and back. Garden boxes in the back with a drip line for easy watering. The kitchen cabinets have been refinished to a clean cottage white. Absolutely NO pets inside or out (unless it's a fish), HOA included in the $950 a month rent. All utilities are the renters responsibility.

Please e-mail me if you're interested. nikki_grandy@yahoo.com It will be available May 1 or 15th (depending on when our new house closes, yahooo!)

I'm surprisingly sad about leaving this house even though the new one is a much better fit for us. I LOVE my flooring though and will be so sad to leave. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to save my pennies to put it in the new house!

BARN SALE INFO

I'm SO excited for the barn sale this weekend. There aren't very many barn style weekend sales in Arizona, if any at all. I'm always so jealous of the amazing flea markets in California or Wisconsin and found myself always hoping for one to come to my area. Well, it's here. And in the greater Phoenix area to boot! There are going to be over 35 vendors selling items from Antique furniture and home decor to jewelery and accessories.

Please stop by and introduce yourself if you're one of my readers! I would LOVE to meet you! I'll be there all day Thursday checking out at the counter. Hope to see you then!
