Boring Hallways and more!

This is my favorite canister set that I bought at Marshall's and we can't forget the pink Kitchenaid mixer, my Mom bought me my mixer for Christmas and I loooove it!
Okay so it's raining here again today and I'm bored, so I thought I would take another pic, this is my favorite rocking chair, it was pink when I bought it. I think this is one of my first pink things I purchased years ago and it is probably when my pink obsession began!LOL.

Hallways like mine are so boring, they are narrow and dark, so I decided to add some life to it I would paint it with stripes and flowers. Jeff made me the shelf with the hooks on it and I put wallpaper on the upper part of the wall . This area is a good place for backpacks and jackets during the school year since my boys bedrooms are located here. I still want to replace the light fixture on the ceiling with a little chandelier or crystal light.

Me again.... it's really going to bug me as to which mag that was in. And I just finished looking thru a huge stack of old ones! I think they had used wallpaper roses.
