Vintage French Country Design<br />
<br />
I have to admit, I really like vintage design style. Very simplistic and yet elegant. Recently I had the opportunity to help a client create a sophisticated and elegant take on vintage french style. To make the new chairs have that vintage style, I chose a slip covered style chair and upholstered the chairs in a fabulous crushed velvet in a grey taupe color. To add a little unexpected, I had the ottoman upholstered in a tone on tone animal print in the same grey taupe color. The area rug adds a little whimsy, it is a grey blue shag. We mixed the room up with distressed and aged tables.<br />

The accessories were my favorite part of this project. I shopped a lot of local antique stores and shows. Atlanta has a great show that comes once a month. Scott's Antiques, really worth the trip, it takes a couple of days to really shop it. I used several antique french books in a variety of sizes. As well as cigar boxes to adjust height and store other unique finds. The wicker trey add texture and color to the ottoman. I filled the cigar box with wine corks. The tea pot is from a Paris Cafe.<br />

The display cabinet was a new piece with an aged look. This piece is from Hooker Furniture Company. I filled this cabinet with Wicker Wine Bottles, which really add texture to the cabinet. I also found a wicker bird house, old wooden thread spools. I filled a cigar box with rolled music sheets and twine balls and added color with moss balls in a variety of sizes. The antique lantern in the bottom right has dried hydrangeas inside and the cloak at the top has a bird's nest with eggs. I love the results and had a great time researching and getting ideas to create this space. <br />

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the crisp coolness of the mornings. The air feels so fresh and invigorating. I love watching all of God's creatures preparing for the cold weather to come. For the past few weeks, I have watched the birds totally devour a tree in my backyard. I don't know what kind of tree it is, I really need to find out, but in the fall it gets these green berries, that eventually turn purple and fall off. Well the birds absolutely love them. It is not unusual for there to be a 100 birds in this tree at one time. Then the deer in my neighborhood begin to come out and you have to be very careful driving. They will dart right out in front of you before you know it. <br />

But my favorite part of fall, (besides SEC football beginning...GO DAWGS!) is the beautiful display of color that God has so gifted us with. Being a person that is so into color, I think the colors of fall are the most spectacular! Not only does God gift us with color in the fall,, but he gifts us with the most amazing decorating items from nature. Pumpkins in their beautiful shades of orange. Squash in a variety of greens and yellows. Leaves in the most gorgeous shades of red, yellow and orange that can only be reproduced by the one who created them. And who would have thought that a barren tree branch could make such a statement. <br />
<br />
I hope that you will enjoy the bountiful gifts that God has blessed us with everyday and every season, but I hope you especially enjoy the bountiful beauty that fall has to offer. It is a season of thanksgiving and praise. We celebrate Thanksgiving in the fall as we begin to prepare for the birth of Christ in the winter. I see Fall as the season to rejoice in the good harvest of the summer. Then it starts shining its glorious beauty in color before it falls asleep for the winter to rest and replenish itself for the the beauty and birth of spring.<br />
<br />
Enjoy these fall decorating ideas, show the splendor and beauty of nature in your home, celebrate the good harvest and await the glorious spectacular color of fall.<br />

What a way to kick off the summer, making over a guest room that will make your summer guest feel welcomed! They may never leave! I enjoyed making over my clients guest room! We used rich reds and golds and added in a vintage surprises.<br />
<br />
The pillows were fun to work on. I used a mix of stripes, solid red silk and burlap! Yes I said burlap. The icing on the cake for the pillows were the details that went into them.<br />

Having a nice place for guest is a great way to show your hospitality and make your guest feel welcomed while they are away from home. <br />
<br />
Now that summer has arrived, go ahead and create a space for the guest that makes them feel at home.</div>Angela Theehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06042067911629567993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419855631931447493.post-68794456931703773592012-05-17T11:34:00.003-07:002012-05-17T12:40:53.820-07:00Burlap - I love it!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Today in my workroom, I have been working on a burlap table square. I have had this obsession with burlap for a long time. It all started when I wanted to create a very natural and nature inspired guest bathroom. I found a great distressed looking wallpaper with fern leaves on it. Then I decided I wanted to make a burlap window treatment. So that is what I did. I fringed the edges and added a wood beaded trim. That was the beginning of my obsession. I love the way it smells, I love the way it feels and I even love the way it has a mind of it's own sometimes.<br />
<br />
I am working with a client right now, decorating her basement guest room and I specified a burlap drum hanging light fixture to go above a small seating area we are doing. Once I unpacked the light fixture, I new the table needed something burlap.<br />
<br />
I pulled out some very old knot tying techniques I learned as a kid and here is the finished project. <br />
<br />
I hope this inspires you to give burlap a chance on your next project.<br />

They have become an accessory in your home. The only thing missing is the bird or at least the chirping kind. Looking through shelter magazines, pinterest and blogs, you can not miss this new trend. Birdcages have taken over. They are now filled with candles, plants and just about anything that will fit inside them.<br />
<div><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/26593/Bird-Cage-Lamps---other-metros"><img border="0" alt="Bird Cage Lamps " height="640" src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/26593_0_8-7992--.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><div style="color: #444444;"><small><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos" style="color: #444444; text-decoration: none;">spaces design</a></small></div><br />
The candles inside this birdcage have a bird on them. What a great idea. I love the unusual shape of these birdcages.<br />

Fill them with small terra cotta pots with herbs and flowers. This would make a great statement in your kitchen or outdoor space. I found these birdcages at Neimen Marcus.<br />

Ahh what a statement the red birdcage makes on top of the book shelf. Simplicity makes this work.<br />

A collection of birdcages all similar in size and shape really makes a focal point.<br />

Search for vintage birdcages at flea markets and antique stores or purchase them new. They are easy to find and most home decor stores carry them. Try it, you will love them!<br />

<br />
Lanterns are another trend in home design. They are not for your outdoor spaces anymore. Bring them inside and fill them with battery powered candles and you will have great accent lighting. Pottery Barn carries a great selection. I love that little touch of vintage that they give to a room. You can group them together or make a statement with just a single lantern.<br />

How many people can say that with passion. I am so blessed to be given a talent from God that earns me a living and fills my heart and soul with so much joy! I can honestly say it's not about the money, its about the opportunity to be creative and make homes beautiful.<br />
<br />
As I celebrate 15 years in business, I thought I would take a walk down memory lane and enjoy and delight in the many people I have met and the homes that I have changed.<br />
<br />
"If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life" that is honestly how I feel. <br />

I love seeing the changes take place and I love seeing visually what my mind was seeing in the design process. This dining room is one of my favorite projects. It has a lot of glitz and sparkle. <br />
<br />
The changes from before and after are really amazing. The dining room was originally painted red. The trim was an off white and the cabinet was stained. The ceiling did not have any interest or detail and the chandelier was to ornate.<br />

</tbody></table>I decided to go with a very neutral color palette and really add a lot of surface materials that had shimmer and glitz, but still had an elegance to it. The walls were faux painted in a Shimmer stone technique in grays and taupe. Shimmer stone has a lot of sparkle in the finish and the technique really adds a lot of texture and dimension to the surface. To make the built in china cabinet feel more like a piece of furniture, I had it painted a medium gray and then glazed with a gray/black glaze. Then the cabinet doors were stenciled. The cabinet now feels like a distress and aged piece of furniture and becomes a focal point in the room. The ceiling was wallpapered in a Candice Olsen wallpaper that has a shimmery light gray background with a sand textured trellis design. I replaced the chandelier with a fixture that had an aged silver finish and beautiful silk shades. Style was simple but the details were amazing. The trim was painted gray and then glazed.<br />

I am addicted to Pinterest! I know there are others out there that can relate. It is the best thing since ahhh! I can not think of anything! It's the best. For years I have been saving pictures on my computer, when that filled up I moved them to an external hard drive. <br />
<a href="http://pinterest.com/angelathee/">http://pinterest.com/angelathee/</a><img alt="Pinterest Logo" src="http://passets-cdn.pinterest.com/images/LogoRed.png" /><br />
<br />
With Pinterest I have so many other people helping me find pictures of the things I love, the things I want to do, decor that speaks to me and recipes I want to try.<br />
<br />
I have 26 Boards and 2890 pins (at this time that could change at any given moment). I am now finding that I need more boards to organize my pins. <br />
<br />
Pinterest allows you to save pictures to links for things that you like. You can set up boards such as Home Decor, Recipes, Travel, etc. You can follow other people and their pins and they can follow you. <br />
<br />
Like many others, I can spend hours on Pinterest. I don't consider this wasting my time, I think it's an investment in myself. Supposedly Pinterest is for finding ideas and getting up and doing them, well I have discovered, that there are probably not enough hours in the days ahead to do all the things I have pinned, but it will be fun trying.<br />
<br />
So here are a few of my favorite pins.<br />
<br />

Monday they learned how to drive their sewing machines and earned their license. One of the most challenging issues in sewing is trouble shooting machine problems. Having machine problems is one of the major reasons people pack up their machines and never turn them on again. Once you know what causes problems and how to fix them you are ready to sew and feel much more comfortable and confident. I always think it is so funny when my students tell me they have been afraid to even turn the machine on!! <br />
<br />

<br />
Every machine is different and in a small class, we can tailor the class to each person and machine. Proper maintenance is also very important to keeping your sewing machine running smoothly. So understanding how and when to clean your machine is very important. It's like keeping your car in tip top working condition.<br />
<br />
The best part of class is when you give them a scrap of fabric and thread the machine and send them off on a test drive. It's such a thrill!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1ODoepzwNab-c7YOOHcEynfsZ-YV5eZVp4GwNu4FPuZfeTRcnBpHpnp4br69esiVY4_2HjVhXO1aamkLEocBCm47F9yBOokYBkL3g7JdJBXwP81BUAeiTODzZ2zGge3WluF_5yAajnnP/s1600/February2012+048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1ODoepzwNab-c7YOOHcEynfsZ-YV5eZVp4GwNu4FPuZfeTRcnBpHpnp4br69esiVY4_2HjVhXO1aamkLEocBCm47F9yBOokYBkL3g7JdJBXwP81BUAeiTODzZ2zGge3WluF_5yAajnnP/s1600/February2012+048.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Next week, we learn how to read a pattern, how and why pressing is so important, choosing the right fabric for a project, how to cut out the pattern and fabric and how to transfer markings. Then we will tackle button holes and zippers. <br />
<br />

I love sharing this art with eager students! What a life changing lesson they are learning. It makes me think back to when I first learned to sew. There wasn't enough time to make all of the things I wanted to make. I would wake up in the middle of the night and go to my sewing machine. When I am involved in a sewing project, I loose all track of time. It is amazing to look back through my portfolio at all of the things that I have made myself over the years. My passion for sewing also created this eagerness to learn many other techniques such as embroidery, smocking, quilting and just simply manipulating fabric and figuring out how to push the envelope and come up with new techniques of my own. And what a better way to earn a living than doing what you love!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjNetA1qP3CNVxZIIxwH-iSaMjnkOHOW-4-XrNoXOMQGaECXOdz5S9JslVlZ9-vt8rCylRwvsx8hEA-3V9PHGoPjCBIFZaraCYGhLxOFMRLNBLttPGuBUl1-_o-hpnVWlMHJm1LPDhDSV/s1600/Angela+Thee+Portfolio+029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjNetA1qP3CNVxZIIxwH-iSaMjnkOHOW-4-XrNoXOMQGaECXOdz5S9JslVlZ9-vt8rCylRwvsx8hEA-3V9PHGoPjCBIFZaraCYGhLxOFMRLNBLttPGuBUl1-_o-hpnVWlMHJm1LPDhDSV/s1600/Angela+Thee+Portfolio+029.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I also love sharing the gift of sewing with children. The only way children are going to learn to sew is if we teach them. They don't have home economics in school anymore and unless you teach them, how will they learn. Kids get a huge thrill out of making things themselves. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
But my favorite part of sewing is making things for other people. I love giving handmade gifts to people as much as I love receiving hand made gifts. The time and thought that goes into them is priceless!<br />

Stuff ends up everywhere, it looks like a Fabric and Notions Store just exploded. <br />

More and more you are seeing flowers sewn on, buttons, beads, and even felt. I love this new trend. I have always loved making fabric flowers and I am one sewer that is very excited to see it as a new trend.<br />
<br />
Fabric Origami has been around in the quilting circles for awhile. Fabric Origami is not much different than our childhood favorite of paper origami, and actually most things that you make with paper, you can make with fabric, with a little ingenuity, a needle and thread and an iron.<br />
<br />
Below are a few samples of fabric origami quilt squares that I made.<br />

<br />
So I thought that I would share with you some great inspirational pictures, to get you in the mood to start making valances.<br />
<br />
A valance is one of the easiest treatments to make if you know a few simple ways of breaking them down or dissecting them. With this knowledge, you can truly make one of a kind pieces of window artwork. You don't even need a pattern if you have the know how!! Well guess what, to get the skinny on the know how, you have to attend the class. I can not give away all of my secrets.<br />
<br />
But to give you a little teaser, all you have to know is the 5 types of valances and you will be able to create your very own designs as well as make anything you see in a magazine. You can change up the horns, cascades and jabots and really make a one of a kind treatment. Yes we will be talking about those too!!<br />
<br />
A very simple valance can be made into a very eloquent window treatment by using the right embellishments. You know tassels, trim, beads, embroidery, cording, banding, etc. We will talk about when and where to use embellishments and how to think outside the box when using them.<br />
<br />
I hope I have sparked your interest in learning all there is to know about a valance and will come and dissect them with me. You will be making amazing valance treatments in your home before you know.<br />
<br />
Oh and did I mention you will be making your own valance in class!!! So start thinking about which room you want to dress up!<br />

The Original Sewing and Quilt Expo. is coming to Duluth, GA. I love this event. I have attended every year for the past 5 years. I have been blessed to help one of the instructors one year in her classes and I have volunteered to work in the Viking booth. If you are a beginning sewer or an advanced sewer, there are classes that will fit your needs. If you are a quilter, there are a lot of classes to inspire you to reach new dimensions. If you are interested in embroidery, you can hone your skills and feel much more confident in exploring your creativity. If you are interested in starting a sewing business, there are classes for you.<br />
<br />
But the most fun and exciting thing to do is shop!!!!! The exhibitors floor is filled with vendors that have the latest and greatest in sewing notions, sewing machines, and FABRICS oh beautiful fabrics. One of my favorite vendors at the show is the scissor guy. I take my scissors for a much needed sharpening and love exploring the unique scissors and sewing tools available. <br />
<br />
There are fashion shows, hands on demonstrations and some of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. Come and get inspired.<br />
<br />
OHH! Did I mention that they have fantastic drawings and prizes to give away!!!<br />
<br />
The event is scheduled to start on March 8, 9 and 10th. Register on-line to make sure the classes you want to take are available. <br />

Not much sewing excitement in the sewing room today. I've been preparing for my Adult Beginning Sewing Class that will start on January 30th. Today I worked on the class project. A beautiful pillow for your home. Not just a beautiful pillow, but a learning experience that pays off. You will learn button holes, zippers, hand sewing techniques, how to read a pattern and how to decipher the foreign language on the pattern, you will learn about notions and tools and tricks to make your sewing projects come out professional and smooth. The most important tool you will gain is how to operate and maintain your sewing machine and how to trouble shoot stitching problems. <br />

Okay, I have to set you up for this blog post. Today my sewing project was a pair of pajama pants for my brother. So here is how this started. I love football, actually I love college football, but mostly I love SEC football. And more than anything I love UGA football. Yes I am a Dawg fan. This year when my daughter was getting ready to go to college, I was so looking forwarded to her attending the University of Georgia. However, much to my disappointment, she chose University of Kentucky (Go Cats!). Now my youngest has always been a Georgia fan, however, this year she decided she was a Bama fan (Roll Tide). I don't know what brought about this change other than my brother is a HUGE Alabama fan and she adores my brother. A few months ago, I made her a pair of fleece Bama Jammies and once my brother saw them, he had to have a pair too. Now my brother is 40 years old. So today that is my project!<br />
<br />
Pajama pants are one of the easiest items to make and what a great gift they make. <br />

I used a pattern by McCalls M6252 and Alabama Fleece.<br />
<br />
Steps:<br />
<br />
1. Cut out your pattern pieces according to package directions.<br />
2. Match Front and Back from crotch to bottom and sew in a 5/8" seam allowance on both sections.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. Stitch crotch all the way around from front to back.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hope I have inspired you to make pajama's today. They are great projects for beginners as well as advanced sewers. Try adding trim, mixing fabrics and make them fun and one of a kind. These are so cute, you could wear them out to run your errands and if your daughter is like mine, she wears jammie pants to school. Who would have figured this would happen.</div>

Now excuse me while I go and try to repent for making these Bama Jammies and see what I can come up with to make for a DAWG fan.</div>

Sewing Classes will begin on January 30th so stay tuned for pictures and final projects from my students.</div>Angela Theehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06042067911629567993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419855631931447493.post-66931364691729573042012-01-11T06:32:00.000-08:002012-01-11T06:32:11.442-08:00New Year, New PlansI have been very blessed that God gave me the talent to create. I have so enjoyed the many years I have spent decorating my clients homes as well as sewing and creating some amazing and beautiful window treatments, pillows, bedding and so much more.<br />
<br />
Recently I have felt the desire to teach others what is becoming a lost art. Sewing. I want to share that deep passion and desire that I have for creating. When I am sewing the hours tick by, my mind goes into this deep concentration and settles down from thinking and stress. So this marks the year that I will be sharing my passion with others. Giving the gift that God gave me to others. <br />
<br />
I have also decided that a portion of the profit from teaching will be going to help others. I have discovered that there are so many people that could benefit from learning to sew for a trade. There is a need all over the world to teach women a trade so that they can support themselves and feed their children. I don't yet know where God is leading me on this, but I am definitely up for the challenge and the journey.<br />
<br />
Keep checking in to see where my journey takes me and to follow along with the students that are giving themselves the gift.<br />
<br />
If anyone knows of a group or organization that could benefit from learning to sew, please let me know. Ask and God will send you where you need to go. So I am asking!Angela Theehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06042067911629567993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419855631931447493.post-65367300645050620122012-01-11T06:20:00.000-08:002012-01-26T06:32:27.537-08:00Sewing Classes, Suwanee, GA, Gwinnett County 2012 Schedule<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Give yourself the gift of learning to sew!!<br />

I am really looking forward to hearing the ocean, smelling the salty air and walking in the sand. This has been a very long and hard winter for a lot of us. Living in the south, we were not an exception. I really thought for a while that I needed to move to Florida to escape the cold. But just like always, mother nature throws us a little tease of what is to come. It has been an amazing week in Atlanta, GA, nice warm weather and beautful skies. Driving through my town, I even noticed the cherry blossom beginning to bud. I love spring, well I love it until the pollen comes in, then it's not quite so enjoyable.<br />

</div>I could really curl up in either of these rooms for a good read. The soft colors make the room bright and cheerful. I love the crisp white with the soft accent of blue and green in the top photo. The warm buttery yellow wall color and the mix matched furniture in this room makes it cozy and inviting.<br />

Now is a great time in Atlanta, to start using those spaces. Outdoor spaces have really been making a statement the past few years. Many people have been staycationing and are spending quality time at home with family and friends. Your outdoor living space can actually be and extension of your home. Here in Atlanta, we can use these spaces as early as February and as late as Novemeber. Outdoor fabric companies have done an amazing job of manufacturing fabrics that are bright, bold and have beautiful designs. These fabrics would be just as beautiful indoors as outdoors.<br />
<br />
Hope these pictures have inspired you to take a look at your home and begin thinking about your spring spruce up. I love looking at photos of great rooms for inspiration. The internet is such a great source for ideas. So if you can not surf the beautfiul ocean, surf the web for inspiration and ideas to bring new life into your home.<br />

Gone are the days of matching furniture covered in plastic so that it won't get damaged. We no longer need a parlor type room to entertain friends for afternoon tea. Today we are living a more casual lifestyle. So why do you need a formal room that is never used. You can still have a nice room for entertaining guests, but a stiff, formal room is not exactly conducive to having a nice visit with friends and making people feel comfortable while entertaining.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>So what can you do to still have a casual but welcoming living room?</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Use more versatile furniture and invest in pieces that are classic in style and comfortable.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Make your living room look more comfortable and "lived in". Don't buy matching sets. Mix new pieces with old pieces. Start with comfortable seating and add in antiques or flea market finds.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Place lighting at different levels in the room. Use a combination of accent lighting, table lamps and decorative lamps to add warmth and atmosphere to your living room</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Try to create a 'lived-in' look for your living room, in other words, make it look like you use it more often than you actually do. Place small furniture in the room, accent tables or an ottoman work well. Place magazines or a book on tables – they can spark conversation as well as liven up the room. Don’t overaccessorize, or the room will look too cluttered.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>If you tone down the formality of your living room, you can not only make guests more comfortable, but you can make it comfortable enough to make it your own personal hideaway. Wouldn’t you love to have a living room you actually use? Create a place that you will enjoy spending time in.</div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 156px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515819677671702434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnk3XluZA46MpcYW5L1lzNTArxUpsTAxdoche8A2ay_b1W6wBI_AoONcaVtBMFxo131LJ2VDpwsQIfdLHATtjYcNmIUWykY_ru2jj9ch0dV2o2SXYxZvJzK8MhPEux-0LgAuLD-C5hSEg1/s200/Main-House-Living-Room-HTOURS0106-de.jpg" /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Country Living Magazine</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515819666398713746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-z3PLE58rnoC0goUd1kkvsBGfyRdlTqOxmcF270C0fB0ByA2Nvm3I2uCuiF0uOeRtrYfw3Ms6sQXPajIQKt6IkCUtn52w4bVLCmC_t-tvCJ9p5cxvc3hI8laOsKXu5vzbM1bI0lgpifFW/s200/casual.jpg" /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Designed by: Space Design Studio</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 157px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515819665376066610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgej9YU9mio6V9t0L3iSpD5edirMwCSLxGK73ZaxvEQVi8S9D2fMecqwBG5RYx_4TezHDK-HqWUk0xfUC6NAVzIufI8nyljwFrR7dGdzDEsPBcT59nIMY6k1Sdj-nmFwWrWhnPV11frze9j/s200/4-restraint-living-room-0408-xlg_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg" /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Designed by: Cote De TexasAngela Theehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06042067911629567993noreply@blogger.com0
