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

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. ...

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 ...
