A Different View

My photos usually focus on a particular object, or a vignette.  So today I am sharing a few photos that were shot at a wider angle in my home so you can get a better look.

 This shot shows a wider area of the family room.  Please ignore the throw on the sofa.  We live in this room and we both have our throws.  :)

The wall color is candlelight.
The molding is painted with a glossy exterior white (holds up well to washing).

 This is a different view.  Again, there are those throws.  :)  You can tell this wasn't "staged".

 These flowers were a great bargain at Michael's yesterday.  They had selected Ashland brand florals at 70% off so I got these for $1.19 per bush.  The colors were perfect for an autumn arrangement. The piece on the stand is a straw placemat that I attached an orange/brown ring to.  I sat it on the easel for elevation.  


Hope you have a wonderful week.

  4. Your home is lovely and you have decorated it very well. I like the clever idea of the placement with the garland on the easel. You got in on a steal of a deal at Michael's, didn't you? That is my kind of sale!---------Shannon

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
