Porches at Shadymont


As you come up the drive, you will see the front wrap around porch.  There's also a small stoop at the mud room next to the garage.


From the rear of the house, the screened porch can be seen.  This was once a deck, but stayed so hot all day we couldn't use it, so hubby had it screened.  Now it gets lots of use.

I will admit that we have yet to spruce everything up on the porches for the summer, but I wanted to join in on the blog party anyway.

This is the front door with a wreath I made earlier this year.
Here are shots of other items on the front porch.

This little table was one of the first items I bought from consignment.  It was originally painted beige and had fern leaves painted on it.  I painted it Valspar Mediterranean blue a few weeks ago.
The rockers are in major need of paint.  Hopefully soon!  :)


This is a shot of the stoop going into the mud room.
Follow me through the house to the screened porch.  
I recently covered the cushions in fabric I found at Good Will.

 This rug was in the breakfast nook.  I moved it to the screened porch for a change.  Probably won't leave it here.
Thanks for your visit.  Stop by anytime.  We have plenty of porches and love to sit outside and chat!
Be sure you visit the blog party.  I'm linking through Kim's Porches and Decks party.

  5. Love your beautiful home with its lovely porch. Thanks for stopping by. I have a friend that lives in North Georgia. We used to make yearly trips to Helen, GA. We went to Babyland General in Cleveland when those dolls were so popular. That area is so pretty.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
