Stop on over and I will share the process of turning this new piece into something that looks aged. Sharing over at Debbiedoo's...click here! ... View Post
Vintage Mirror
After playing around with my mantle yesterday I decided on using my vintage mirror and my gate. I love the simplicity and look of this room now. Because the look I am going for in my home is a simpler look. I have been putting lots of things away,some will be up for sale in the shop...opening next week! I added that lace to my fireplace opening..... it's a temporarily fix until I figure out what else I can do. But I think it looks nicer than my black hole....which is what my fireplace looks like all taped up. By the way I LOVE my posts on my mantle. It gives my builders grade mantle some character and charm! I took the blue rug and blue table out of this room. Instead I added one of my favorite chippy farmhouse tables to that corner. I am not loving my sofa and chair set in ... View Post
Changing My Mantle
I have been busy rearranging and changing my mantle, today I decided I would share my thought process. Changing things on my mantle always drives me nuts! I did have several mirrors layered with a large frame. I did like this look but I am going for a simpler look and it felt like I had too much going on. All of this came off first and then I thought ,hey why not add my mirror that was in my bedroom. You know the mirror I had leaning on my wall. Yes this room looks totally different now. Light bulb moment....let's paint that mirror white and hang it over my mantle in my family room. Sounds like a good idea right? Okay, I added this on my mantle,and I was not planning on keeping those hurricane lamps or that bucket. Oh I think it looks nice....hmmm but wait.... On ... View Post
Changes In My Master Bedroom
I am making changes in my master bedroom,well you know the saying one thing leads to another and since I just took my chaise lounge chair out of here and moved it into my studio,I needed to make a few changes in here too! I really did not need to make any new purchases I just shopped my own home for a few new pieces. I decided to add my vanity table to my corner,and I really have to say I love the natural light I have in this corner which is great when putting on make up and fixing my hair! That lingerie dresser was just moved over from the opposite side of the room. And since I love that chippy chair next to that piece,I moved that over to this side too! One problem I had was seeing the cords on the wall next to our armoire. Oh by the way I bet you noticed my large mirror is not ... View Post
Cleaning Organizing And Changing
So I told you that I was cleaning,organizing and changing things around right? Well the dining room was a piece of cake,my studio was another matter! It was pretty torn apart......literally,my friend was the only person I let see my room is disarray. And no I am not sharing those photos,I am trying to erase that memory from my mind! My studio is one of the most changed rooms in my house. It's actually a bedroom and so it's not really large. I am not complaining I am thankful to have even a small space. But I never seem to get this room right and I probably never will. And just so you know this room never stays this neat. I have tried but it's impossible. But I do my best cleaning it up when I am finished with a project. That shelf was a recent find and the only new vintage ... View Post
It’s The Little Things
Sometimes it's the little things in life and in decorating that can make the biggest impact. It's no secret that I love vintage treasures,but sometimes hunting is the best part. I love surrounding myself with pieces that I love,and pieces that are not perfect but show the imperfections. As I started putting things away from the sale and started organizing my studio I felt the urge to purge. I kept asking the question why am I keeping this piece or that piece? And while I am cleaning my studio and changing things around I feel the need to do the same in my home. But I don't want to by anything new. And I don't want everything changed. Somethings will stay as the were,because I like just the way it is. But it's the little things the small changes,like a fresh bouquet of ... View Post
