Fixed it!

I went on wallwords.com and planned my writing all out in their interactive software, then reprinted my quote..looks much better!! I priced the quote on wall words, it would have cost me 86.00 to order it from them, instead by printing it myself it cost me about 5.00!
I bought a black hamper and I have a couple more items I am adding to the room so stay tuned!

Finished!







The Quote is: Love does not make the world go round, Love makes the ride worthwhile!
I have to redo the quote, I had to cut it in lines as the vinyl is not wide enough to cut it the way I want, so of course each line does not look even...but over all we really like the room. Charlie helped me paint and he spray painted all the black accent stuff, the fan, the new light we bought for my side, all the frames. I have Amanda's art work up, looks great! Charlie also took his closet apart and painted the frame, it was gold, now it is black and is so much better! I still need a few more items, I would like a different hamper. We bought new blinds for the window and new vertical blinds for the sliding doors and I added a valance for the window, all in all I am so happy to not have peach walls!!

Busy again!


I have been wanting to tackle my bedroom project for along time, I am now almost over my exhaustion of the last two rooms I completed so I started on the bedroom this morning, I hope to have it done by sunday night...yeah when I dream, I dream big!

I am going with teal, black, cream. Only one wall will be teal and it will have a quote over the head of the bed, not telling yet so don't ask, hee-hee!

The other 3 walls will be cream and the accents (shelfs and hangers and frames will be black).

So join me in another fun project here at Casa Viva Las Vegas!

Chris Isaak!

Last night charlie drove me and the girls...jerry, june, tanya out to primm to see chris isaak!
He was funny and charming and sounded great as usual, this has to be about my 10th time seeing him and he never gets old, his music is great, some soft mellow songs and some rocking songs, some blues and he even did a little gospel, some oldies and some pop...if you ever get the chance don't pass up seeing him, his concerts are fabulous! A fun time was had by all!
Next stop Van Morrison!

New wall art

Here is a new quote for my craft room wall, I got it for 6 dollars at the trade show, a lot easier then making it myself.
Love that quote!
Hey if you all have any great music lyric quotes send them my way, they may end up on my walls!
Peace out!
