Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

Being the Good Will addict that I am, I'd like to share some of my recent home decor items with you.    This turquoise plate is the perfect color for my decor. I love this small tote.  I picked up one that was larger in green, but by the time I got ready to leave, I put a few things back.  It was really nice, but I have 3 or 4 now and don't need to keep bringing them home. This small lamp reminds me of those from years ago.  It was around $5. I painted the trim and drawer on this table earlier this week with left over Wythe Blue (BM).  I didn't get it in the shot but the picture above it has some purple, so I made this vignette in purple.   I was thrilled to find this old fashioned candle holder, blue and white, especially.  It's on the hoosier/hutch in the mud room. Back view   This cage came  in a rusty color, but you know I had to paint it.  I found it on 2 different shelves, with 2 prices, ob...

I've been hitting the Good Will stores frequently in the last 3 weeks, and have bought some neat treasures. The plate and the lampshade are recent finds. Yesterday I purchased the vase on the right and the 2 pictures The artist, Abigail makes her art from pressed flowers. The lamp shades came in a package of 2.  The  shades were marked @ 5.99 ea., new in packages.  So they were new for $2.92. I liked the frames, too. I admire this artists work!  So pretty.  This vase was found some time ago, and the two of them work fine together. The look showing the wall, a sort of gallery look. This cabinet is called a hall cabinet and was made nearby my home.  I've managed to keep it the original color. Last week I found a large package or round balls in aqua and white. So I put them in the bowl on top of the crystal curio. Recently we eat at the bar.  I found these BHG placemats new with tags.  This bunch ...

I'm having so much fun trying out different decor items on the hall tree I purchased a couple of weeks ago.  See all about it here .  Probably the best bargain I have ever found!! I originally had a small lamp on it, but put this larger lamp on it today. This lamp originally had a brown print shade, but I switched it for this burgundy one, and added a burlap rose I made a while back. I kept the silver coffeepot filled with tulips, and added this plate. (I made these photos with my computer, and am trying out the Fotor Editing Program).  I think I'll like it once I get the hang of it!  :)  PicMonkey has gotten so it crashes everytime I try to use it.  Are any of you having that problem? I like having the larger lamp here. This is my new favorite spot to decorate.  Be sure to check back to see what changes next.

Having felt so badly recently, I haven't moved things around in a long time.  Hubby and I were sitting here the other day, and I told him I'd like to swap places with the love seat and a bombé type table.  So we did.  That called for a new vignette on the table so it would "go" with the wall décor above it.  Here's what I did. The wall had a gallery type design already.  Several objects hung together as a wall vignette, so I needed the table to blend in with the wall décor.  The plate previously hung on the wall where the lampshade stands now, so I put it on the table, along with a décor book on English Country (my fave). The flower pot and flower was a 20 cents yardsale find that matches the plate perfectly. I really like the new arrangement with the loveseat across from the sofa.  The room is much more open and spacious. A couple shots of the loveseat in its new spot.

Recent visits to a few favorite shops yielded some fabulous treasures. Don't you just love this  wonderful, colorful, faded table cloth?  ($6.99). Seen here on the entry table. Gorgeous colors!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been wanting a new picture above my loveseat. This was only $14.99, and perfect for a Spring display. I kept the shelf I had there, and added some other items to the wall, including these DT rabbits for a nod to Easter. I hung a basin and decanter set alongside, and filled it with bird nests with eggs, bought at Michael's a couple years ago. I picked up this small plate for $2.00 at the second shop I visited.  I knew it would look good with the picture. Final Display ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  These 2 pillow covers were a total of $12.00, so I bought them for the office.   You can see the recent office makeover   here . I love the fabric, and though it doesn't have the exact same...
