Hutch Transformation ~ Summer

I bought a bottle of Murphy's Oil Soap to give the Hutch a new coat of shine. Looks like she was neglected for some time. I don't know why but I've started to call "her" a "she"...how Funny is that!

Here she is shined up and decorated in all my antique/farmhouse finds. Those lovely deep red juice glasses were given to me by my MIL and the blue dishes were my Husbands Grandmothers. I pick up any matching pieces I can find at thrift stores/flea markets. Still on the lookout for tea cups and matching saucers, those are hard to find! The white soup tureen is from a company called "Celebrating Home" , the same company that my new paper towel holder is from.

I would love some ideas on what, if anything, to add to each side of the Soup tureen. Should I leave it as is or add something else? 

I just know I'm going to love decorating "Her" every Holiday!

She's Arrived

Just look at her!! 

I was able to buy her for a steal and she was delivered tonight! She is a 1960-1962 Cochrane Co made out of North Carolina. Really for her age She looks nice! I wish it matched my table a tad bit more but for now I'll leave the table and hutch alone, paint scares me.

I have always wanted one but they always seem to be out of our price range and since we no longer own a truck at the moment it was hard to get someone to deliver.

This spot is perfect for her right now. I need to buy Liquid Gold to clean her up, someone smeared something sticky on her, they had kids so maybe jelly?

What would you use to make her shine?

Now I'm off to Pinterest to see how many of you have decorated your hutches.

A Stroll thru Life

Our Home Away from Home

Sisters Forever part 1

Warning~Very scary, depressing bedroom...

In a few short days this space which is in a sad state since we gave my Mom her bedroom set back will be transformed into a shared space between 2 sisters 4 years apart.

We have ordered a Bedroom set from Rooms-to-Go (2 twin beds and 1 nightstand to go in the middle) which will be delivered this Wed.!

We have taken apart the built in tv stand the landlord left here as you can see from the soon to be filled in nail holes in the right hand corner. We are having the room painted and both girls have agreed on a Horse theme.

We have decided to turn this into a Blessing.

So I ask You for ideas on shared spaces between Sisters...this is a Journey we have never taken before since we have been lucky enough that the 3 kids have always had their own room. Do you have fond memories of sharing with your siblings or do your kids share a room today?

We have decided to stay here in this Rental for another year, searching for a house with land within 3 school systems was turning out to be a futile effort as there was not one house available within our time period.

The Landlady has decided to Lower the Rent, and let us update the house the way we prefer. All of which has made us very Happy this month!

Since we are staying another year, We have decided to have the girls share the biggest room and this will then leave one bedroom open for Husband to have his Office again. He needs one for those late night On-Call sessions and his Ham Radios.

No Minimalist Here

Refreshing the Corners 2

I have been busy moving items around and tweaking here and there. My Fav vignette in the kitchen is the top of my fridge. Everything just seems to fit together rather nicely up there. My window sill has a nice start to a White dish collection.

I'm trying to decorate in more of a Cottage/Farmhouse but I'm not really sure how to start. Any ideas that you can share with me?
