Hello dear friends! I am happy to report that the bathroom is 95% finished. If it would ever STOP raining I could take a few photos. This is the last week of school AND we have a houseguest arriving for the next week. So I'm popping in with a few Mid Week Smiles. By now you may have seen the Downton Abbey movie trailer.

And Then The Entire Post Disappeared
On Friday I set aside three hours to edit photos and write a post entitled An Easy Way to Pick Out The Perfect Paint Color. It was a great post. So informative. You would have loved it.

A Peacock Themed Regency Dress and Open Robe
This past weekend I attended the D/FW Costumers Guild Fantasy Picnic. This is a fun theme as the costume can be anything fancied in the creator's imagination.

Master Bath Refresh The Shower From The Black Lagoon
Today is the day! I have never before shown you pictures of the master bathroom at Storybook Cottage. You will soon see why. I spent a good portion of last week interviewing several contractors for various projects. Are you ready? Here are the "Before" photos of the Master Bath Refresh The Shower From The Black Lagoon.
