Best Bargain Ever!!!

I'm still pinching myself to see if it's true!!  I bought the MOST. WONDERFUL. halltree today at the Hen's Nest Consignment Shop!!   I really do need to stay out of there, but I would have never forgiven myself if I hadn't bought this beautiful piece!

 I first saw this piece a couple of months ago when it was priced at $225.00.  The price wasn't that much really, but I'm very cheap frugal, and couldn't make myself spend that amount!

A couple weeks ago, it went to $125.00, and I still passed it up, even though I visited it everytime I went to the shop.

 Yesterday, I saw it on their FaceBook page for........$89.99!!!!!   Yes, that's right, $89.99!  I just knew it would be gone before I could get there, but my daughter and granddaughters and I went down this morning, and drove the truck, "just in case".

It was still there, so it was a sign, y'all, it was to come home with me!  While I was making up my mind for sure, a lady called wanting it!!  No way, so I told the owner, "I'm buying it"!!    I'm so excited!!

 I've had a table in my foyer ever since we built the house....now I have a hall tree!!
BEFORE

 This table now resides beside my bed to hold my cpap, and all the paraphenalia!!

 In its place........
AFTER

I am so happy with this!  It's the very first thing you see when you enter the front door!  So much better than the table, and it fits the narrow wall perfectly!!  


I also bought the picture on it.  


This was only $14.99.

This shows the bottom of the hall tree.  Isn't it pretty?  It looks like there is a drawer, but it is just a drawer front.



Closeup of the items I chose to decorate it.  The lamp was my late MIL's, as was the silver coffee pot.

View when you step through the front door.  The door to the left goes to the office, guest suite, and down to the basement.




I switched the plant on the bottom to this fern which leaves more space around it, and shows off the bottom better.


The top has crown and dental molding.  Here's a close up.


So, what do you think?  Did I get the deal of the century or what????

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.  ...

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. ...

Bar Stools Makeover

I'm still receiving therapy by keeping my hands busy, plus today I ran quite a few errands.  It's been a crying day for me today.  Just so much to worry about.  It seems like sometimes everything is just messed up, and there's nothing we can do to fix any of it.   Night before last, I painted the bar stools.  I've had them since 2000, and they were nice, but I was just in the mood to paint them!!  The form of the stools had a textured bronze color, the seats were beige with the fleur de lis design, and the wood across the back was brown.  Well, needless to say, they got their own coat of chalk paint in white, the seats covered in blue and white, and the boards across the back are blue.  I have the fabric to make matching placemats and napkins, but today was not the day to try to sew, for me.  I'm just too nervous.  In fact, I didn't do anything creative today except switch out the curtains in the powder room that I only made and p...
