| This guy wanted me to thank all of you for the healing wishes and prayers for his back surgery yesterday. We both could feel the love and prayers throughout the day. Terry is home and resting. The back surgeon was able to do the least invasive procedure to release the pressure off the nerve branch. He is up and feeling pretty good today. He still has some pain but it is manageable. Thank you sweet blogging community for your loving hearts and compassion. xoxo |

| This was the old fireplace and mantel I picked up awhile ago. |
 |
| This is the fireplace mantel reloved. |
 |
| I did a little Spring/Easter decor on the new oak mantel. |
 |
| I used my little white bunnies and put some light green ribbon on them. |
 |
| I added this fireplace candelabra with auto candles. |
 |
| They look pretty at night lit up. |
 |
| I also wanted to show you that I painted my front door a light gray on the inside. Just to put some definition between the light walls and the door. |
 |
| It is still pretty chilly and still a possibility of snow here in Illinois, so the front door still has the winter decor but hopefully soon will be changed to pretty Spring. |
 |
| We cannot thank all of you enough for your support and care and concern. I am blessed beyond measure with my friendship with all of you in blog land. My mom is doing better and home from the hospital. Terry is through his back surgery and healing nicely and my foot is healing nicely too. I will have some new drapes and my final living room to show you very soon. Happy Friday and Have a Great Weekend. Hugs,
Kris

Sending (shabby white) bucketloads of healing wishes your way Kris... for all of you. You amaze me with your energy and styling magic. My fav' is the little table with the books. We've got snow in the forecast too... but look on the bright side: it's white!! oxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I missed this post about the surgery - I haven't been online much this week but I'm so glad everything went well. Isn't it amazing what surgeons can do!?

Oh Kris, I'm so happy to hear that Terry is home, actually up and about, and that your mother is also home. You must be so relieved; I had been praying specifically for peace to flood your hearts and it looks as if all is well and peaceful on the homefront. AND YOUR MANTLE!!!!!! It's beautiful. At night, you can enjoy the flicker of those candles surrounded by a cozy space. Bravo to both you and Terry for all the hard work you've put into your homes. Much love my friend!
ReplyDeleteKris, I am so happy to hear that your hubby is home and doing well! Glad your mother is home too. You have all been through quite the ordeal but all that is behind you now. God is good!
ReplyDeleteI love your mantel with its fresh coat of white paint. Love the bunnies too. I will have to bring mine out shortly. Thanks for sharing your good news and have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Sandi

How wonderful that everyone is on the mend! take care of yourself and don't overdo it. The mantel is beautiful, love it dressed up for Spring!
ReplyDeleteKris, this is such great news! We'll keep praying for a good solid recovery. Your mantel is lovely, I could just put that shade of green ribbon on the bunny's neck everywhere this time of year. And what a good idea to define the front door with that new gray paint. And I just saw that you were leaving a comment on my post at the same time I was visiting you!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and happy weekend, both of you there,
Dewena
Hi Kris! I am so very happy that your mom and Terry are both recovering nicely -such a blessing and relief. Your new fireplace is lovely - the natural wood is a pretty contrast. I'm also smitten with your gray door. The soft gray is so gorgeous with your whites. Jane

Terry did a wonderful job of reworking that piece for you...you guys make a great team!! I'm so glad he's doing well and resting! How are you holding up?

ReplyDeleteHi Kris, so glad everyone is on the mend! I love your fireplace, and your mantel looks beautiful! Love all your spring touches too! Best wishes for continued health improvements for you all! Hugs, linda
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that his back is healing, his pain is less, your mom is better, and I thank God for the healing of your foot!
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is great power in prayer!
God Bless!
I'm so glad. Prayers that hubby will be back 100% soon. I just love the bunny and the pops of green.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read that Terry is recovering well, that your mom is doing better, and that you, are, too! The mantel looks so romantic with those candles - I'm obsessed with the battery-operated ones!
ReplyDeleteYour fireplace looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI am catching up on favorite blogs and scrolled back to see that much is going on at your household. I knew you had foot surgery and hope that is progressing nicely especially because I know you are trying to help all the others. I do hope your mother is better. And, having gone through back surgery, I hope Terry's went well. I know it's hard to keep him down and that he will be back to his old self soon.
Take care of yourself while you help the others recover and spring will be there soon.
So happy that you are better and that Terry is healing too! Blogging friends are the best, I agree! I love your re-loved mantel, looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Nancy
I was so happy and thankful to hear that Terry's surgery went well.. that your mom is doing well and your foot too! Good news is so wonderful! I've had company (my son and his fiance) for 4 days so the time just sped by and didn't get a chance to comment on this. Your mantel looks so gorgeous now.... I knew it would with your magic touch! You amaze me too, with all you get done and do. I wish you could touch me and give me some of your energy and motivation! Love your gray front door, and the way you've decorated for Spring and Easter with the bunnies here and there. I miss our mantel that we took out when the f/p insert was put in. A surround needs to go around the f/p now but they are spendy and so it has to wait. And... we are not handy like you and Terry! Hope there is no more snow there for you.. I think maybe (fingers crossed) our snow is gone now for another 6 months or so! Take care and have a good week! oxoxoox Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that the surgery went well. Please give Terry a big hug for us!! And love love the mantel!!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd commented on this post a while ago but must have been doing it from my phone which never works. You have so many friends, Dear Kris judging from all the lovely comments posted here. All these prayers from blogging friends are such a blessing. I hope Terry continues to improve daily.
ReplyDeleteI'm very late catching up on my favourite blogs. I read the last three posts in a row and I'm glad to read that Terry's surgery went well. I hope he's feeling better now.
