A Few of My Hobbies

Since I don't have anything IVF-related to share, I thought I'd share some of my hobbies.

I've mentioned before that I like to decorate and I'm admitting it for the first time here...

My name is Suzanne and I'm a Pottery Barn-aholic.

Fall is my favorite time of year and as soon as it starts getting cold outside, I love to whip out my autumn decorations and then I run around like a crazy lady.

So, here are a few photos of my decorating...

Living Room / mantle

For those of you familiar with Pottery Barn, they had a really cool frame with black/white photos and keys in their catalog about 2 years ago. I refused to pay $180 for it, so I made my own...



And, lastly.

I mentioned that I would be painting my bathroom this week while I was off. I started at 9:30 this morning and I just finished enough that I could take a break.

Before

It's hard to see but the stripes were done with paint.

Lots of tape and paint.





After






I can't believe what a huge difference it made!

And, with that....

Kisa and I say "Good night"!

Great talent! You could freelance:o)
Love the bathroom--both the before and after.
In reality, I thought the before was the redone one--because of the fall-like colors.
Living room looks so calm & relaxing.
Great job!

Wow! Absolutely stunning! Some skills can come with practice, but other skills are innate. You've got a knack for design, and the work is just lovely.

If you're feeling bored, I've got three empty bedrooms, you could...

Great job!
