New Curtains for the Guest Room

I've shown the guest room lots of times. I've had these window treatments up for several months, and haven't really been satisfied with them.  All my other rooms have long panels, so I decided to try and find some I liked for this room.



You've seen the bedding in here too.  I bought it for $35.00 at the Hen's Nest some months ago.  It's perfect for this bed, and I especially like it now for its fall colors.



I surfed the web for a long time looking for panels that would blend in with my colors, and that didn't cost a fortune!  I like to keep within my budget so I don't have a lot of money spent on items, and that allows me to change things out ocassionally.

I finally found some panels I like on the Wal Mart website.  They are due to arrive this week, so hopefully they will work out. I chose Mainstays Hanging Medallion Grommet Curtain ... $18.24/pair.  So around $58.00 with taxes.  Not bad.

Later:
Here they are in the guest room.
When I first opened the package, I thought I wouldn't like them, but once I got them up, I like them more.  I put them up on the regular curtain rods that were in this room.  I'll get new rods soon, but I was anxious to hang them, and didn't have time to shop for more rods.

I'm a little nervous about mixing patterns.





I think I'll keep them.  They are better than the window treatments I had there, plus, I think they will make the room warmer in the winter months.

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. ...

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 ...

Market Basket

Finally....I made it to Hen's Nest, my fave consignment shop.  I bought several things, but I just have to show this to you right now.  I'll share the other items later.  I stopped by the Dollar Tree on my way home and grabbed some fall flowers, and quickly poked them into the basket.  I didn't even cut the little bushes apart.  I just spread the stems out and voila! I'll do it right soon, I was just too impatient to show you the basket. Just look at this wonderful basket!! Basket Cost: $8.99....whoo hoo! Flowers: $1.00 per bunch x 7 = $7.00 Already had the burlap garland. Does anyone know what the P&G stands for?  The shop owner thought that maybe it was a grocery store name and she doesn't think it's very old.  It has a handle, it's just covered with flowers.  Don't you love the way they did the letters on the front?  I don't care if it's vintage or not, it just has character, and I can think of may uses. Lo...
