Its a joint effect

My DH and I have 25 years of combined decorating taste in our weekend home. I some times wonder when looking at others decorating taste….did their man have any input in decorating in there home. My husband and I have very different ideas of what looks good. However we have agreed to allow each other to display both our ideas of what’s important to surround our self’s with. We have a lot of things that have been handed down from our grandparents and parents. I thought it would be interesting to show you guys some of our combined efforts to make a comfortable home for both of us to share

Family Room Kitchen and Bar

Dinning Area

The table is from my DH's Grandfather

His Grandfather built the table after their family's home burned down

Sea Shells gathered by our children

DH bought this throw for me on one of our many motorcycle trips

The blue bottles are form my Grandmothers bone yardDH has many reels form his Father as will as ones he has

collected over the yearsWe thought about building a cabinet for the reels but I like them scattered all over the placeMy Style

I cant believe I'm showing you my bathroom...but there are so many interesting things to look at in here

I just love these dolphins!!!

We got them in Mexico on one of our many motorcycle trips

This pretty hanky box is form DH's Grandmother

I have a pear of these red doors they are from my Grandmother home

I hope that my sweet DH feels like he had a little to do with the making of our home. Yes I could spill out the pink and flowers every where but something tells me that wouldn't go over to will.

I Feel Pretty

While I was coursing though blog land last night

I came across Deb’s place, you can find her at

http://garagesalegal.blogspot.com/

She has a post “ I Feel Pretty” …

I thought it was a cute post about her relationship

with make up. I love make up sooo here is

My Love Affair with make up.

I’m not the kind of lady that can’t leave the house

with out my make on. I don’t wear it if I’m staying home.

You may not believe this after seeing

how much make up I have.
I grow up in a house with a Mom that truly

believed in taking care of her skin…

and she taught me and my two sisters very early…

Our bathroom was full of all kinds of girly things.

Masks, Make up of every color, lotions, treatments,

and don’t get me started on the hair products.

Let me just tell you that there are four of us girls

including my Mom and three of us are Cosmetologists.

Our bathroom was a play ground. LOL
My make up routine starts with a clean face and moisturizer.

I use Aloette skin care…believe me

I have used hundreds of brands and this one is my favorite.

I think starting with a good skin care line is key

to making your make up look its best.

I love the glominerals foundation!!

Next a little blush, lipstick, natural colored eye shadow,

eyeliner and mascara.

One of my favorite things in my make up case is

SONIA KASHUK eyebrow liner.

I get it form Target and I just can’t finish my make up with out it.

Draw # 1

A bit of every thing

Draw #2

I travel with this little school box

I have lipstick every where in the house.

Guess what? .... this is my week end house... you wouldn't believe my bathroom at home... and like I said I only wear make up about 4 days a week. LOL

Whats in you make up bag?
