Something Small

I added the vase and eucalyptus.

I think it adds a nice touch to the grouping.

Christmas Sneak Peak

I moved the cabinet to this wall and today I pulled items from various other rooms to make this Christmas vignette.

We love how it looks as you walk in the front door.

Together Again

As it turns out...

Moving to OH is not in our future for our family at this time. Husband is driving home as I type this. Job was not what was introduced or explained to husband and after talking to his old workplace whom will happily take him back, we are staying in FL and will make the most of it!

It's all in God's hands.

Playing with Coffee Table Vignettes

It's raining here on this Thursday morning, I have to run to the grocery store but it sounds nice and I'm in the mood to finish Fall decorating!

Here is a peek at my coffee table decor. It looks so pretty at night too.  Not much but I have to be careful with 3 kids and 3 dogs running around.

Burlap runner ~ Wal-Mart

Pumpkin ~ my stash

Light up Acorns ~ Biglots

Playing with Fall Tablescape

I couldn't wait any longer and have started to decorate the house for fall.

The table runner and napkins are from a Country store in OH, I wish I had bought more while there since here in FL it's hard to find nice Country decor items.

Dishes are from Mikasa French Countryside

White pumpkins are from Target many years ago and are hollow with lids.

Wine glasses are from Goodwill.

Plastic colored pumpkins are from Dollar Tree.

The rain has started again this afternoon so I'm back at decorating!

Exciting Furniture Find of the Month

What a find! 

Here is my favorite purchase from August, found in a local FB selling site for only $30.00! It's rather large and can hold all of our old records. 

But then one rainy afternoon last week I moved it over here and we like it much better...

It's a great new addition to our living room!

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!

Brown and Teal Bedding Change....

I'm sick in bed with a killer cold that Richard brought home from his travels this week, We have already gotten a call from the school about Abigail not feeling well either.

Since I'm stuck in bed I was laying here thinking of our Bedding..It's the Ralph Lauren Chaps brand we have had it for 7 years and although it's so pretty I'm wishing on a change but I have to find something that will work in our Country decor.

How about the top pic? I have nothing that matches but i'm in LOVE with the colors!

Please all my Country Decor friends, pass me your ideas and websites for my new color scheme!

I Love to Decorate But...

I'm feeling like I have too much Clutter on my Counters. I have been purging and re-arranging like mad. This morning while cooking breakfast I had no room for plates. 

Here are my results so far...

I still need to work on the counter next to my Keurig tomorrow while everyone is gone for the day. 

Still not ready to let go of the Rooster glass cutting board, when my kids were younger I taught them to put all juice cups and glasses on it and to this day all 3 do this. 

I would like to find a wide enough basket to add to this arrangement at some point, I'll know it's "the one" when I see it. 

Already it's feeling better in here. I omitted the Fruit bowl, it was just too large for my small kitchen and I will be putting our fruits in the fridge from now on. I also omitted some items that were very pretty to look at but didn't really serve a purpose. 

Do you have those?

No Buy January

So for the New Year I wanted to buy a few new items for the House but with the purchase of a horse comes extra expenses. I was up last night while not being able to sleep and thinking....

Today while it rains outside I'm walking around and trying to decorate with some of my forgotten items that I've had in my closet just sitting on the shelf. 

Good-Bye Santa, It was a great Christmas!

Hello forgotten Americana Star

This is missing something....I Love candles but they can get pricey

I found a small black wrought iron candle holder and adding a Vanilla candle...Much better

This blank wall now has this wall-hanging that my Mom stitched for me one year, Thanks Mom!

This wall is a hot mess, I'm spending the day working on this

So nothing spent out of pocket and I'm starting to feel better already with just some easy changes.

Boy, I have my work cut out for me with these darn bookshelves.

Any ideas??
