Hello Friends!
Today I am sharing a couple
of new finds in the little quirky hall
between the kitchen and
downstairs bath.
-------
-------
A few weeks ago Decor Steals had these
French bottle drying racks as the Today’s Steal.
So charming I just couldn’t resist
and had to have one!
-------
-------
Originally I intended to use it in the dining room
on the French Baker’s table but
after trying it 101 different ways I decided it
just wasn’t working in there.
So, it found it’s way into the kitchen in the window
of the quirky little hallway.
-------
-------
Here you can barely see the bottle drying rack
peeking out of the window.
I found the antlers
above the chalk board while shopping for
something else on eBay.
I had Mr. Handyman mount them for me……
-------
-------
Have a great weekend!!!!!

I made a few changes to the French baker’s table
in the dining room the other day…..
so I thought I would
share a few pics with all of you!

While out and about a couple of weeks ago we
found this really
cool sign at an antique mall.
-------
-------
I knew right away it would fit perfectly on
the wall underneath the mounted deer head in the den.
We think it originally hung in a lodge.
-------
I now refer to Mr. Deer as Fred……
Sorry I don’t have better pics, my camera is still broken…….

Hello friends!
Well we finally made it to the end of the week…..
and what a week it has been!
Now, isn’t this mirror just to die for?
-------
-------
Have a fabulous weekend!

Today is the official first day of spring!
Can you stand it?
It feels like it has been winter for forever!
-------
-------
How will you be spending your first day of spring?

-------
I found these great little
sconces on eBay and they came in the
mail the other day.
-------
-------
Of course they didn’t look like this….. originally they were stained wood.
As usual I forgot about
taking a before pic until I had already started the project!
-------
-------
I loved the shape and style but the
wood color just wasn’t quite what I had in mind.
So, out came the paint!
-------
-------
Three different colors of paint
and a little sanding and this is the end result!
-------
-------
Currently they are hanging beside the trumeau mirror in
the dining room but I’m not sure if that
is where they will stay?!?!?!
-------
-------
After I took these pictures my camera died!
There is something wrong
with the shutter so off to the shop it must go!

Have a great week my friends!

A little inspiration to start your weekend off right…….
Isn’t that ironstone platter with ruffled edge simply divine?
The whole seating area is simply drool worthy!!!!!!
Have a fabulous weekend!

It all starts off innocently enough…..you pick up an
item that intrigues you.
Then the next thing you know you have two
or three…..and sometimes more!
This is the case with my collection of fedora hats.
-------
-------
I’m not even sure when I started collecting them actually?
However I keep picking
them up here and there……and they look nice
stacked in the niche above the front door.
The collection was slightly bigger until recently when
three were damaged beyond repair.
-------
-------
The front door was actually
a window on the side of the building originally.
When the house was turned into a private residence part of
the window was removed and a door was added which
is why there is a niche above the door.
-------
-------
So, do you have an accidental collection?
If so, I would love to hear all about it!

I recently picked up this little transferware
creamer from the 1840’s……
It is the perfect size for a small bouquet of flowers
and looks so cute
perched on top of this stack of books.
-------
-------
I love the slight crazing…….so beautiful!
I prefer pieces with imperfections
which of course is also easier on the pocket book.

I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was so cute I just
had to share it with all of you!
The best part is, you probably already have
everything you need right on hand!

Have a great weekend!!!

Isn’t this just the sweetest picture?
My boys used to wait patiently
for my husband by the door every day…….
now that they are senior citizens they wait on the sofa.
Of course this means napping all afternoon just to save up enough
energy so they can greet him when he does get home.

Counting the days until spring
finally arrives……..and the snow has melted away!
What are you dreaming of?
-------
-------
Have a great week my friends!

It’s no secret that I am sometimes drawn to unusual or odds things.
Oddities as I like to call them…….
My husband no longer asks what I am going to do
with the oddities I find.
My latest is an antique carving set with bone handles.
I paired it with
my silver meat dome for now…….
-------
-------
I was completely smitten with the handles which are
smooth from many years of use.
------
-------
I found the set at an antique store for $15.
I thought that was a pretty good deal but really I love them so
much it doesn’t matter?!?!?!
-------
Have a great weekend my friends!
