M.I.A.

 The Treasures household has been a chaotic place to be the last couple of months. We are always trying to adjust to this new life we have and as soon as it seems we have a handle on it, there is some sort of surprise.

And I'm not talking about the.....

good kind.

The latest battle has been trying to speak with someone at Bank of America (who actually went to high school) about their mistake in regards to our modification. It's quite a long story that I don't feel like telling right now but it boils down to a HUGE screw up on their part that might actually cost us our home on Wednesday February 2nd.



So I might be posting even less (if you can imagine that) than I already am for a little while.

Thank you for following Treasures. I appreciate everyone of you.

Well..

I was really hoping for a grand makeover Monday post but I just wasn't able to pull it all together in time. I give myself an A for effort though!

And since I'm grading myself, how about an A for budget savvy,

but then there is that C- for meeting self imposed deadlines.

If you've been following along on facebook (which you do! right???)

Then you know that I have been working on a make over for Lil' Red's room.

Let's take a look...

Here's a close up of the bed detail..

It's an actual antique that I scored off of craigslist about 3 years ago for $100.00

Here's a view looking from her closet... 

Ignore the hideous red chairs on the left. They will be recovered shortly.

After gathering information on paying someone to cover them as well as the price of the materials I liked,

I decided that we are going to go a different route and I'll be trying to cover them myself.

I'm thinking...

I'll make a white slipcover and use the flat sheet to add a little detail? Then just add the black pillow from Ikea and call it a day!

Your thoughts??

The room still has a long way to go! We need curtains, lamps, wall art and a rug but for now....

Lil' Red is quite happy with it!

Here's a quick view of the other side..

MAJOR work in progress still!

The armoire is leaving (a fun feature wall will be in that spot)

The teeny tiny desk is leaving and will be replaced with a larger one that I scored for $10.00!

I'd love to go into more detail but it's a GORGEOUS day in Southern California!

The Lil' Man is off to play football with some friends and Lil' Red and I are headed to the park.

I'll fill you in on more later!

I just can't get enough...

I just can't get enough of Tracy Porter and all her loveliness!

Check it out

And stop back by later to see who was kind enough to pass this on to me!

Off to finish up Lil' Red's room makeover and hoping for a Monday Makeover debut!!
It's been too long since we've had one of those, hasn't it!?

Photo love..

I LOVE this photo!  

 I'd LOVE to be IN this photo.

I'm not sure why I love it so much.

It's just one of those photos that strikes something inside of you.

You can't explain it, but it's real.

The kind of "real" that calls to your soul and inspires.

Yep, THAT kind of real.

Stop by The Willows Home & Garden to see a few more versions of this photo.

And if you've been wondering what I've been up to?

Stop by All My Treasures Fan Page to see!

Do you know Holly Mathis?

I've been following her blog for quite a while now and she never disappoints. 

Her interiors always feel welcoming and lived in. It never looks "on purpose" which is what I love most about them.


Take a look at this inspiration board she put together for a nursery..

I've never wanted to live in a nursery so badly!?!

This next photo is her dinning room,

Click on it to view it larger. Or even better, stop by her blog Holly Mathis and view it in it's entirety.

I tried bringing Grey  into our lives here at the Treasure's household but if you follow along on Facebook, you know that didn't turn out so well. 

Holly sure did get it right!
