Using White Decor in My Home

I want to join in the fun at Blissful Whites Wednesday, so I'm going around the house looking at places where I've used the color white.  My home is by no means "all-white", but I do use it alot throughout my home.  I'm on a blue and aqua kick right now, so there's no telling what I might paint next.    This post is picture heavy, so sit back and relax, and enjoy the white items in my home.  Be sure to visit the Blissful Whites Wednesday party for lots of inspiration!

Of course, my mantel, fire surround, and current decor is mostly white.

I use lots of color too, but still love having lots of white items throughout our home.

Do you use lots of white in your decor?

    I do... luv white around the home. I once had an almost all white home. But when we built this home, I changed form a shabby chic to a Tuscan look. But I found myself adding white 2 years ago... now like you I have white throughout the home.
    Your look very pretty..
    Hugs, Gee

    Hi Kathy! Oh, yes, I've so enjoyed seeing all of your pretty whites. I love color in my home but so enjoy seeing all of the white homes but I just couldn't live in a totally white house! :) I guess I've got plenty of it around my house too.
    Now I adore your pretty little table and chairs in front of the window.
    Be a sweetie and thank you for popping in to see me.
    Shelia :)

    Pretty, pretty whites. It's always fun to go on a color"hunt," to see how much you actually use a color or not! You use white beautifully. Jane

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

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. ...

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. ...
