Changes in the Sun Room

Since I now have pink in my family room (til I can convince someone we need new furniture), I decided to get rid of the pink in the sun room, and I love it!!  Here is the before, in pink:





Here is the look as of this evening. 

We moved the pink white and green rug out, and brought in this one.

I had fabric from GW that was just enough to cover the chaise cushions an the one in the rocker, so I put those on and pinned them in place with safety pins until I have time to do them right.

The cover on the table beside the rocker is a fall head scarf.  
I decided I could use some fall colors in here without so much pink.
The orange one is a ladies scarf also, just makes a great runner.
These are the curtains I made for pennies, and they were in the bedroom until recently.  I've never had long curtains in here except 2 lace ones at one point for a short time.

I brought in a brown monogrammed pillow.  The box on the table holds fall colored books, a bird, and flower pot.


This table cloth on the left is a good will find.  It has fall leaves.  I placed pumpkins, a grapevine wreath, and a "family" sign on the turquoise door.

I placed a pillow in the rocker.  The fabric has birds on it.




I wasn't sure I'd like these curtains in this room, but with the other changes, I really like it.  The arrangement on the eating table is a very old pitcher I found at GW.  it has orange, green, etc., and holds small flowers in those colors.  I have to make a curtain for the small window on the left of the bank of windows.  I'll have to check my stash for enough fabric.

I'm so excited with these changes, I may leave it this way.

I think it has an even more cottage vibe than before.  I think it's the curtains.

Hope you like this change!!

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. ...

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 ...
