Evening at Shadymont

I love the coziness of our home in the evenings.  After dark, everything takes on a warm glow.  

The glow of lamplight is so relaxing.


Today I switched out the bookcase I painted with ASCP and the little table I had in the corner with the old door.  It goes without saying that I moved the accessories all around.   Nothing's sacred.  What's here today is there tomorrow.



This is now in the powder room.  You may remember I found this table cloth for $2.00 at a yard sale.  I first showed it here.  It's vintage Wielander and easily sells for thirty to forty dollars, but I found one online priced at ninety dollars.  


This is my view from my favorite blogging spot.

I de-cluttered my bookcases a little.  All the family pictures are on the right side now, and only a couple of fabric pumpkins are added for a nod to fall.




This is my blogging spot. 


This is the view into the dining room from the family room.




Do you enjoy how your home looks in the evenings?

  9. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your beautiful home. Evenings are so cozy by lamplight. There surely is no place like home, especially cast in a warm glow of my favorite twinkle lights, automatic timed candles and the rope lights that cast a glow above the kitchen. Even more than evenings though, I love mornings. I just wish morning and evening lasted longer.

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
