Oh this is fun. I love decorating projects. I am hooked on HGTV for that reason. :)
I am interested in the furniture you are going to inhance as I have been wanting to do a hutch in my sunroom with some sort of design.. Like a Mackenzie-Childs design type thing. Look forward to more of this.
Soooo cool. What a fantastic project. I am looking forward to see the reveal. It amazes me that you can redo a room for that little.
Great project... can't wait to see what happens
So fabulous! Love the color combo!

I can't wait to see not only the makeover room, but also the faces of the two people receiving this gift from the heart. How long do we have to wait?
Have a good weekend!

You must be having a great time doing this for some special friends.

Happy weekend!

AWESOME!!! That is such an exciting project!
You are a Design On A Dime lady! I love the ideas on that show. I can't wait to see more of what you're doing. Maybe you'd like to make me a dining table from an old door and find me some mixed/chairs to go with?
This project will definitely be revealed when FINISHED! You may even see some little hints along the way!
I'm the Design on a NICKEL girl! I only received a donation of 500.00 from an anonymous person to complete the job.
Door into a table... mixed chairs... SURE!
DEAR FIFI,
WHAT AN AWESOME WOMAN YOU ARE TO DO SUCH A GENEROUS THING FOR SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU A 1,000 TIMES MORE IN THE WAY YOU NEED IT THE MOST.
I AM SO HONORED TO MEET YOU. I AM NEW TO THE BLOGGING WORLD BUT I HAVE MET SOME VERY AWESOME WOMEN.
I WOULD BE HONORED IF YOU VISIT MY HUMBLE BLOG. THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR A FRIEND...NEW OR OLD.
BLESSINGS

We need to talk!
A very kind and wonderful gesture indeed.
Perhaps this good deed will help to bring good luck to some fisherman that you might know.
Cheers to Fifi!

I like the paint colors, particularly the use of the blue and red. And, I love chandelier!
