Sharing Shadymont's Winter Whites

Today I am sharing some of my winter whites.

White in the dining room.




White in the breakfast nook.

White in the sun room.  See the shadows the sunbeams cast on the table.


This is a new addition to my snowman collection.  I found at Walgreens for $3.99 (after Christmas sale).  Michaels had their medium sized wreaths for $1.49, so I bought three. I added some burlap garland and have a winter scene in the hallway.
The little chalet to the left of the wreath belonged to my Mother.  It's a weather predictor. It was a gift from her only sibling (her sister). If the weather is going to be rainy, the little man on the right comes out of the house.  He carries an umbrella.  If the weather is fair, the little girl comes out on the left side. My Mother passed away 39 years ago, and I remember this from when I was about 15 or 16.  Oddly enough, it is still a pretty good predictor.

My daughter gave me a Kirkland's Gift Card for Christmas.  I paid only $3.99 for this tray, and the candle sticks were $6.99 each.  I love the simplicity of the mantel decor.


I can't omit the little white jelly cupboard with its snowflakes.


A touch of green is always a good thing.

Hope you have enjoyed the first week of the new year.

    I came over from Rose's blog. Everything looks so pretty. I love the contrast on your mantel between the dark cranberry and the white of the wood. Very nice decorating!

    beautiful vignettes, I too love the way the sun comes in and shines. Sometimes I can just sit and look at how that sun hits everything in a room. peaceful

    I love white in the winter also. I have that same kind of pane door(s) that are just bare but I love the plant adding a fresh welcome. I need to think about moving my coatrack for something new and fresh.

    Winter white always seems so clean and fresh and such a nice change from the fluff and finery of holiday decorations. I love your white rooster and large snowflakes! :-) Sue

    Love your winter whites, especially the cute little cherub. I also like the cupboard, it is very nice. The winter white things are calming to look at after the glitter and sparkle of Christmas. Please join in the fun at my Your Cozy Home Party on each Tues. If you can. Would love to have you there.---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. ...
