Three new style trends

So the newest home decor trends will be mid century modern, ’70′s retro (including avocado green!) and ladylike. This makes me feel special. I’ve been searching these things out for several years now! Found this little video at High Point Market’s website. Most of us have been ahead of the curve with the ladylike look. I see it on your blogs as you share photos of your homes. How fun would it be to have an extra house to decorate [...]

Tiffany’s Fab Christmas Home

Gosh! It’s almost here! And there’s still so much to share! I did finally get over to Tiffany’s house and got pictures of her Christmas decorations. Enjoy! Dixie Belle – The only picture out of about 10 where she was actually still and looking at us, even if she was giving us the evil eye. Sassy and Ruby Fawn Do you see Ruby peeking over the sofa? That was too cute to pass up.

Melanie’s Christmas decorations

And while I was at Melanie’s house, I took pictures of her Christmas decorations despite her protests that she didn’t have anything blog worthy, it all still needed tweaking, she wasn’t finished… It looked pretty darn good to me. That’s a piano leg hanging on the wall! Now we’ve all got something else to search for, don’t we? Close-up of the Christmas things on top of the piano leg. (She bought those gorgeous candelabras from me, by the way. Do [...]

More of the Christmas decorations

So much for that hope of posting Christmas decorations daily, huh? Well, gosh darn it! There’s so much stuff I couldn’t get anything completed enough to take a picture! Melanie came over one evening and helped me figure out places to put things. That one evening put me days ahead, but still, not much is picture worthy yet. And there simply cannot be a whole room picture. The pictures below are severely cropped so the junk around isn’t in the [...]

Angels Among Us

Yes, I believe they are, but this post is all about the Christmas angels on the mantle. (Click on the pic for a larger view) ~~~ Can somebody tell me where this year has gone? Fall, even. I’m so darn far behind, I’m not sure I’ll ever see daylight! And what a mess! Ugh. The back of the shop belongs on an episode of Hoarders. It looks that bad. Really. I get in a hurry and just throw something in [...]

Some Thanksgiving decor

Are you sick of seeing Thanksgiving decorations? Just this one more. I was supposed to do this the first of the month, but totally forgot. It’s the rest of Tiffany’s fall decor. The vignettes that are more Thanksgiving-y. Let me say though, that I’m truly ashamed to show these pictures. They are horrible pics of fabulous vignettes. My photography skills and the camera I was using don’t let all of the beauty of her arrangements show through. It’s not completely [...]

Are your narrow spaces left unadorned?

Or – Leave no wall empty. So do you hang things in the narrow spaces of your walls? Sometimes I think they’re easier than the huge expanses. Heck. I know they’re easier than the really long walls. These aren’t good pictures. As a matter of fact, they’re pretty awful, but this may be as good as it gets on these, so I decided to go ahead with the post. I bought those Art Nouveau lamp finials years ago on eBay. [...]

Don’t pass up those lamp bases!

Are you buying them when you see them? I do love me a pretty lamp base. I’ve been known to buy an ugly lamp just for the base. But I’ve also been lucky enough to find some bases without the lamps. My favorite of all my lamp base finds. Needs a fatter candle, but this is what’s on it at the moment. Even the smaller, not quite so fancy lamp bases have uses: So I’ve had this one for quite [...]

It came home with me

Remember this little fellow? I talked about him here – It’s the Simplest Things. Well, I couldn’t stand it. He finally came home with me. I don’t know what I’d have done if someone came in and had to have it before I brought it home! The perfect spot, at the moment, seems to be the small dining room buffet. (We have two dining rooms. Sorta. A little room that is officially the dining room, but our living room is [...]

A small religious collection

Easter’s upon us. It snuck up on me. I am not prepared. I have no Easter decorations out, but I think I’ll drag them out in the morning. In the meantime, I thought I’d share my very small religions item collection. I collect these for two reasons. I love the subject matter and I love the art form. Southern Baptists don’t traditionally have these things in their houses, they’d have a picture of The Lord’s Supper, but I’m not very [...]
