Now doesn't she clean up well? This is the last piece that I bought at Class and Trash,<br />
I had to rent a van to go get her, well worth the trip. I saw even more pieces I would love<br />
to buy like giant topiaries, paintings, chairs, columns, etc.<br />

beautiful James River dining room of CCV. After the lunch, I headed<br />
over to the store Class and Trash in Glen Allen, up Route 1. I read about<br />
it on the blog, Richmond Trifter. I scored some really great things, one is<br />
so big that I will have to go back for it!<br />

in all the Decorating Magazines are nice, but they are<br />
not made like the older pieces. Most of the designs you<br />
see today are copies of older styles An older couple asked<br />
me if I would take a couple of pieces they inherited that they<br />
cannot use in their new home. They are down sizing.<br />

from my trip. They are stunning and really make the room. The studded headboard was<br />
made for me by my upholsterer, the large chaise came from Ballard design and I found<br />
the French extra long bench on the website Kathy Kuo Home.<br />

The first night of our trip to Savannah, we went to dinner at a restaurant called Girabaldi's<br />
Cafe. After dinner we went around the corner to Paula Deen's restaurant and store hoping<br />
for a sighting of Paula. This is as close as I got, my sister was hoping to see either Bobby<br />
or Jamie Deen.<br />

So glad that Fall is finally here. My all time favorite time of year. I even gave it a special place on<br />
my Pinterst page.<br />
Tommorrow I leave for a well deserved trip to Savanah Georgia with my Mom and my sister<br />
Beth. We are celebrating my big birthday milestone, 50. I know we will have fun. While I am down<br />
there I will have to make a really big descision, my boyfriend of four years has been seeing someone<br />
else from another city for the past two years. I will have a little time away to figure out what I am<br />
going to do, he lives with me. If you ever want to catch someone cheating on you, check out thier<br />
Facebook page!<br />
Will be back with pictures from my trip.....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1333279076954593741-3372168105935250840?l=elfieedandmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>margaret mcelroyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10471819009321288932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333279076954593741.post-20715977574443709732012-09-22T09:06:00.001-07:002012-09-22T09:06:21.011-07:002012-09-22T09:06:21.011-07:00Before and After<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

refinisher walks into my store to introduce himself and leave<br />
his card with me and by the way do I have any work for him?<br />

a light feel of coming and going to make the room appear bigger. I switched the light<br />
fixture from a Hollywood bar to a softer look with the tulip three arm down fixture.<br />

shower curtain at TJ Maxx. Next job for this room is to replace the flooring and the<br />

husband and I built our own home for ourselves on his 300<br />
acres family farm. The house is almost 6,000 sq. ft. and is<br />
brick in the shape of an "H" with a beautiful Southern wrap<br />
around porch. We started with, or should say I, small beds<br />
around the house. What I could afford was too small scale<br />
for this monster of a house so we hired landscape architects,<br />
three to be exact, until we finally did a large scale plan for the<br />
whole yard.<br />

me to see color all year long. The gardens fell behind after I left in 2006 and very little<br />
was done to maintain them. Most of the flowers were choked out by dead leaves and<br />
weeds. My daughter, Ellie, has been asking me to help her bring the beds back for a<br />
while now. Last Sunday I drove back to the farm to help her with the beds, it was a lot<br />
of work, but actually a lot of fun. Even Edmund came over to help hall of the debris pulled<br />
out of the garden. Afterwards we sat up on the porch for some wine, the big people only,<br />
prepped by my ex.<br />

And a picture of Ellie as we were finishing up. I will go back in the fall and help divide<br />
up the hosta, liriope, etc. and moved somethings around to better places. I also plan<br />

all wrong, the chest of drawers was to small for the mirror above it. The portraits of my<br />
children were just to big for the room, so I cleaned it up a bit. And what till you see<br />

of years now. The prices are sometimes cheaper than<br />
my decorators discount which means I don't have to<br />
price my projects as high for my retail store. It's a<br />
win win situation. Check out the dining room chairs<br />
that I had my new furniture guy. JonJo, repair and<br />
stain, the fabric I scored from Warehouse Fabrics<br />
Inc.com, $9.88 per yard.<br />

This fabric is very old school Traditional. Once they have been upholstered I will<br />
sell them on the floor . The price tag will be, Furniture repair x fabric x upholstery<br />
x two = $$$. I also purchased a Peacock fabric remnant for 4 yards at $25.00,<br />

not sure what I am going to do with it yet.And before I go, I have to tell you what<br />
I found at the antique mall in Verona, a cute chaise lounge marked at 1/2 off, a real<br />
score of $115.00. I forgot to take a picture of it, my upholsterer has already picked<br />
it up from there. Will past a picture when it is done.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1333279076954593741-665365869529505735?l=elfieedandmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>margaret mcelroyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10471819009321288932noreply@blogger.com0
