Dining Room Sprucing

THE WEATHER HERE IN GEORGIA IS DEFINITELY AWFUL!! SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALL DAY TODAY!! IT'S RAINING CATS & DOGS!! SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHOW YOU ALL WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO TODAY, SINCE THERE IS NO GETTING OUT IN THIS WEATHER!! I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE WITH ALL THE WHITE..... I REMOVED THE LAYERED TABLECLOTHS FROM MY LITTLE FARM TABLE....FOUND SOME COOL PILLOWS FOR MY IRON BENCH, FROM THE SCOTT'S ANTIQUE SHOW...FOUND LOTS OF NEW TREASURES (THAT'S FOR ANOTHER POST)

LATELY I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MORE BROWN TRANSFER WARE TO MIX WITH MY WHITE IRONSTONE PIECES, LOVE THE CONTRAST, ADDING A FEW RUSTY IRON PIECES, HERE AND THERE...

LOOK CLOSELY IN THIS BIRD NEST...IT IS A VERY OLD CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT OF A BIRD ON A NEST ATTACHED TO AN OLD METAL CLIP...I LOVE IT... IT IS SO DARN SWEET.. MY BUFFET DISPLAY FOR THE WEEK, LOL, I AM ALWAYS CHANGING THINGS AROUND! I AM LOVING THE DARKER COLORS NOW, MORE BROWNS, AND BLACKS... AN OLD GRATE FOUND FOR ONLY 10.00 A PERFECT RESTING SPOT FOR MY FAVORITE LITTLE NEST, MY ONLY TRANSFER WARE PITCHER, OLD BROWN CAKE PLATES, WITH SOME OLD BOOKS...

WELL, I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE PICS, ALL COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED...

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK....BLESSINGS TO ALL....

SHE IS HAVING SURGERY THIS MORNING!! PRAYERS NEEDED!! I NO LONGER HAVE MY BOOTH AT JOEY'S! IT'S A LONG STORY! I AM NOW BACK TO SELLING ON EBAY...SELLER NAME: " COTTAGE-WHITE" STOP IN AND CHECK OUT WHAT I AM SELLING! I'M SURE THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!! TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD UPDATE YOU ALL WITH SOME PHOTOS OF MY LIVING ROOM. IT IS MY FAVORITE ROOM IN MY HOUSE! THERE ISN'T A LOT I WANT TO CHANGE, JUST TO REPAINT THE WALLS, AND TO STAIN OUR UNFINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORS!! THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED IN YEARS!! WE USED TO HAVE CARPET , AND NOW WE WANT TO STAY WITH ALL HARDWOOD FLOORS THROUGHOUT

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN MY LIVING ROOM....MY REALISTIC TOPIARY TREES WITH THIS ANTIQUE BUST UNDER A HUGE CLOCHE!!

JUST SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO COLLECT...OLD SUITCASES, TROPHY'S, ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, STATUES, ETC..A RECENT FIND IS THE 3-TIER WIRE BASKET FILLED WITH OLD LACE...FOUND FOR ONLY 12.00 AT AN ESTATE SALE LAST WEEK!! I JUST LOVE IT!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE ONLINE, BUT IT WAS OVER 100.00 AND IT WASN'T AS CUTE AS THIS ONE!! DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A BARGAIN?!

I RE-DID THIS CORNER OF MY LIVING ROOM...I MOVED THE PRIMITIVE BLUE CUPBOARD TO MY DEN...I HAD TO FIND A PLACE FOR THIS HUGE CLOCK THAT HUBBY JUST HAD TO HAVE!
