Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

I don't think I've shown the side table in the dining room with its Fall decorations.  This table/cabinet is only about a foot in depth, so it is best to use narrow items on the top.  With that in mind, I brought out this old homemade wood box that I refurbished a good while back.  I painted it with ASCP, distressed it and mod podged some French labels on it.  It is filled with some plates I found at a consignment shop, a small urn with a stick pumpkin, a pear, and some greenery and paper leaves. Here you can see how narrow this piece is.  These napkins ar favorites.  They were a consignment find, and are well worn, the way I like them. This old yellow wood box sits on the other end of the table, and holds other fall items, including a fabric pumpkin I made last year.  I found this little crate/box at an antique mall for about $4.00 some time ago. The colorful pitcher holding the flatware, was a Good Will find several years ago...

I want to join in the party at The Country Farm Home and Old Time Farmhouse for Country Whites Weekend, so I am gathering my whites from all over the house.  You may have seen these, but here they are, all in one place.   White gate with hydrangeas Sewing drawer on bookcase against old white door White bookcase painted with ASCP Cherub on box painted with ASCP Vignette at lake house, note old Bible Old plant stand (used in guest bath) White corner in the sun room Stacked benches make this a cozy corner (sun room) Gather your photos where you featured white, and come to this great party! Country Farm Home and Old Time Farm House I'll also show them at Funky Junk Interiors

You probably don't recall my post some time ago on this little wooden box.  It was hand made by a friend for my late husband to store his 8-track tapes in.   Now that tells you how old I am getting.  :)  Anyway, I ran across it some months ago cleaning out the basement, and saw it as an opportunity to paint and decorate.  I used ASCP Olde White, ASCP Dark Wax, and took it from a plain brown roughly made box, to one of my favorite treasures.  I added some french script paper inside the lid, and of course french labels from Graphics Fairy to the front, and it has held a place of prominence ever since.   After making a table arrangement for the sun room, I used the left over DT flowers to decorate my sweet box for Christmas.  I just bunched the stems together that were left over, wrapped an old doily around them, put a small rubber band around it all, and plopped it in my box.  Here it is!! Whatcha think?   Cute or what? ...
