Willow just whipped up a fabulous new pillow for the sofa.

She whipped up a yummy looking lunch as well!

Merry Christmas Blogland! 

                                                     I hope you all had a wonderful morning
                                      and are getting ready to chow down with friends and family.

                                      Willow, Will, and Beth are currently sitting down for dinner.
                                                        Super cute don't you think? :0)

                                  Bethany can't wait to dive in. She can't move until I leave though.

I think William's mind is on the dessert table behind him.

Oh and look who's under the table. Willow's new cat!

Merry Christmas!

Lily House #12

                     Willow's friend Bethany came over for a little Christmas Tree trimming party.

The new Gramophone pumped out the Christmas carols.

We really need to do something about that entry.

Ugh! maybe that will be the next room to get a makeover.

The tree was trimmed and cheer was shared.

                                                   Now Lily House is ready for Christmas.

Lily House #11

Lily House has come a very long way.

This shot above was taken last Christmas.

The one below was taken last night.

Amazing what every little addition does

 to the overall feel of the room.

I am having so much fun with it.

Willow's friend William came over to see her new place

and enjoy some thumbprint cookies and cocoa. 

Happy Holidays

Lily House #10

Lily House's Bathroom has new wallpaper just like the kitchen and soon it will have wood flooring.

A new toilet paper holder, a rug and a few towels add to the coziness.

Slippers! Willow's first pair of shoes. 





Lily House #9

As you can see Lily House's kitchen has come along way. The furniture is moved back in and I think it looks fabulous. It came out almost exactly like I wanted.

This Mary Casset print is one of my favorite paintings and the colors work perfectly in here.

New copper pots. I love them!

New veggie print ceramics.

Where will they all go?

Every little thing added to this house, adds to it's depth of awesomeness.

Like this tiny jar of pickles. Eek!

Bitty little cans of veggies.

 Yum.

 Battery powered lights.

 Food in the fridge.

Such a pretty little kitchen.

Lily House #8

The inspirations for the kitchen design in Lily House are these two photos.
The first one here is a very old kitchen. Notice the tiny pink print wallpaper.

 This one is a new kitchen made to look old. Notice the tiny pink print fabric behind the door.

 I found this pink floral print at Miniatures.com



Here it is on the wall. Pretty perfect huh?

The beadboard wainscoting I bought turned out to be plastic.

 Which really bummed me out, I thought it was wood, but I used it anyway.It worked ok. I may tear it out someday and fix it...or not. I painted it a seafoam color and I am very happy with the end result. 

Now we need a floor.

Lily House #7

Lily House is buzzing with activity and filled with the wonderful smells of cake baking.

Willow has been making cakes for sale and business is booming. Valentine's Day was spent not with a lover but with her greatest love...baking.

Willow did find time to celebrate the day with a cup of Cococream in her beloved heart mug.

 



Then she was right back to work on this gorgeous King Cake,
whipped up for a friend's Mardi Gras party.



Once her deliveries were made,

she made a chocolate cupcake with fudge icing just for herself.

She ate it all, didn't share a bit..

Lily House #6

The new refrigerator has arrived! It is a GE 1920's Monitor Top refrigerator. As you can see it fits perfectly in the short nook by the backdoor. The next big project for Lily House is the wall treatment. The plan is for there to be wallpaper and beadboard. The inspiration came from the two kitchens in the photos below.

This kitchen is a new kitchen. The talented person who put this condo together is all out genius, every single nook and cranny is "period perfect". Anyway, notice the color of the paint used on the beadboard. I am not sure if it is aqua or seafoam but I love it and so Lily House will get bead board like this. The door you see goes nowhere it is just on the wall, trimmed out and everything with a dainty pink print curtain behind the glass. Brilliant I say. Oh and those lamps! Love. I wonder if they were inspired by this little kitchen below. It is in an old house in the ghost town of Bodie, CA. I took this photo a couple years ago because I love the beadboard and wallpaper combo.

The color is very similar and the wallpaper is a dainty pink print. Hmm...
