I love your dresser...the lamp is perfect, I think. I really like your way of describing your room. And I like the picture and the blend of primitive and not so much so...I think it looks nice and has the right colors. I have a dresden (sp?) plate quilt my great grandma made and we all did the same thing as you with the butterflies...we would pick out which plate we liked the best. That quilt now covers my hopechest, as it's worn and tattered but still brings a smile to my face.Sherry :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16747069007845394339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604828284131409.post-58901806029824411972010-07-15T07:38:23.070-05:002010-07-15T07:38:23.070-05:00It was fun to tour you family room, Julie.

It is warm and welcoming--everything a family room should be!<br /><br />Poor Adam--my son went through a similar thing with a girl breaking his heart. Now the girl is back in the picture and I'm so afraid he'll be hurt again. But, these are the lessons we all have to learn, I guess...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604828284131409.post-77566597937678491142010-07-14T17:31:59.431-05:002010-07-14T17:31:59.431-05:00Is there really a store in Omaha called Stuffmart?...Is there really a store in Omaha called Stuffmart???<br /><br />Beautiful redo on your room.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422917526246138803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604828284131409.post-2001842961420423932010-07-14T11:41:22.270-05:002010-07-14T11:41:22.270-05:00Wow Julie...we have a lot of the same tastes.

I have a dresser that looks much like your thrift store find, mine is my great grandmothers, I have one of those fold out boxes, it was my husband's great grandmothers. And I've got antique oval frames but I know the people inside them ;o)<br />BEAUTIFUL finishing and I saw that ladder at HL...that is a GREAT idea of yours and I would TOTALLY copy it, if I had a wall to prop it against!Vonna Pfeifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483344299817504410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604828284131409.post-66412880907862634392010-07-14T08:36:27.565-05:002010-07-14T08:36:27.565-05:00What a great tour!

I have lots of comments, so here goes...<br /><br />The rocker is really, really cool. And love the armoire!<br /><br />I agree the oak trim around the bricks doesn't go well. (Talk Dan into refinishing it)<br /><br />What a neat idea to do with your great gma's tattered quilt. Very thoughtful to give to your siblings even if they didn't appreciate it. Buggers.<br /><br />Love the refinishing job on the treadle sewing machine (Did I tell you I've been looking for one?). Do you have photos of what it looked like before the refinish?<br /><br />Adam - Poor guy. It probably helps that he moved away. I think over time, he won't pine over her as much. Maybe a HOT girl will become enamoured with him and game on! :)Mearihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080474930910254503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604828284131409.post-63253841106182780492010-07-14T08:27:48.070-05:002010-07-14T08:27:48.070-05:00I love your room Julie.

Lo...Love what you have done with your family room. Love the color scheme but I agree a darker mantel would make all the difference and I think you would like the brick more. It would stand out more instead of being washed out but the oak color. Now to convince hubby? Not sure how to approach that one(LOL)natalysneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780177511621540630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604828284131409.post-14650511159778886452010-07-14T07:16:05.092-05:002010-07-14T07:16:05.092-05:00Thanks for the tour!
