Making a Warm Cozy Livingroom




Well, the snow came and we survived, we got about 15 inches which was enough...

instead of 2 feet, we did have to dig out the driveway and down the road to connect

with the main street. So it was a crazy few days around here but I kept myself busy

by warming up my livingroom with new pillows and throw.



Pillows from Pottery Barn




In this picture you can see the new, red, plaid throw and red pillow, the 

the pillow in the middle is of New York City.




The tray I used for a centerpiece on the diningroom table was a thrift find and I

painted it with homemade chalkpaint.  I think my deer antlers and pinecones with

a prim candle holder and greenery looks wintery, I love putting things together

that I already have! I forgot to move the puzzle box, I always want to put one 

together but I seem to get to impatient.




I had some TJMaxx gift cards and loved this lamp, the bottom is a dark red
with a neat shaped burlap shade!





My rag heart that I love, I made it about two years ago and always bring it

out for Valentine's Day!


Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'll be joining these great party's:

Hi Everyone!!!

How are you? Busy I bet…I know I am too! Well, we finally figured out posting
pictures on Windows Live Writer and also loading them on to my laptop, Windows 10
is much easier for the younger generation, I know my son loves it but for me
not so much. Nothing to do now but learn it I guess I will say it is quick and the
colors are more intense. This is why I was gone so long from blogging but today is
my lucky day because I’m back at posting…I have missed you all.♥
 

So, I have been decorating for Christmas  and I changed up my colors a bit too! I went from
all silver to red, black and white especially on my tree. Here it is…
love my curtains too!!!

No silver garland this year, I used red that I have had for years, red ornaments
and red berry sprigs!

IMG_2039 ,
 Also have a little theme going on with cars and trucks carrying Christmas trees, I
think they are so cute and I’ll be sharing more on my next post. This one is from
Pottery Barn!

Every year I look forward to unwrapping my Christmas S&P’s!
I buy a set every Christmas to add to my little collection.The
grandchildren always rearrange them..

Can you tell I love black and white…

Well, I’m so happy to be back again and hope this doesn’t happen again!

Have a blessed Sunday!

Spring Yet?

This is how I am feeling lately…bored so bored that I’m taking pictures of myself, could
be worse I guess. Lol Chambry shirt Marshall’s!
February! 004
I thought I’d be done with this dresser by now but they sent me the wrong color
of chalkpaint, they sent me white(Everlasting) instead of black (Carbon), now I’m waiting for the black to be delivered.
I’m going to paint the inside o f the top two drawers black and buy two matching baskets
to use to hold movies and any other stuff! I’ll also be using the four drawers for runners and
tablecloths that I have in the bottom of my hutch which will give me more room for dishes in there!
February! 007
I know…my diningroom again but hey, remember I was bored.Smile
At least I took it from this angle with the afternoon sun streaming in!
February! 001
I’m keeping the white paint they sent by mistake, there are a few pieces of
furniture I want to repaint especially my white end tables one was my husband’s
mother’s and this one I found at Goodwill.
February! 005
February! 006
The basket I bought at Marshall’s finally got filled, I remembered today that I had
some faux red apples in my stash in the basement!
February! 003
Don’t they look real?
February! 002
I think they do:)
Can you see my new watermarks on my pictures? I tried different sizes and designs,
I still have to practice more but found it easy to do and not as hard as I thought!
So I’d  like to thank sweet Dawn @ Creative Cane Cabin for posting about how to
create a transparent watermark on Picmonkey! Thanks also for always sharing Dawn,
without you I would never try but your tutorials are always easy and doable!
I’ll be at these parties:
Happy Valentines Day♥

Snowy February

Hi everyone! Well, we woke up to more snow and the schools had a two hour delay!
Plus cold temps…someday it will be over and I can look out my window and see green.LOL
In the meantime I’ve been playing around the rooms in my home,  seeing what I like and
don’t like. In the livingroom I didn’t like the burlap and red lampshade that was on the
lamp so I had this lamp in my stash and decided to use it instead, the lamp that was there
originally is now in the guestroom and the snowball wreath is hanging in there, I’ll be so
happy when I put that away! Anyway, I think this lampshade goes with the black and white
I have going on in the room!

I finally decided to paint the bamboo mirror, my hubs spray-painted
it in the garage for me since it was so cold out, I used flat black, do
you think I should have used the enamel one?

Here is my mantel nothing spectacular but you can tell I do love the black
and white.

Moving Things Around

Hello all, to those on the east coast… are you tired of snow?

I know I am although we haven’t got it as bad as some.

I know a lot of you are preparing for the Super Bowl forgive

me for not being to excited, I’m a Steeler fan! But I do know

who I want to win and that’s the Seahawk’s!

Now on to more exciting things, I’ve been changing things

around and it sure has given the house and me a little bit

more energy to play!

 

january 002

In my livingroom after all the Christsmas stuff was

put away I switched from the red to black and white.

You can see my furry pillow there from Walmart! The

snowball wreath I found at Marshall’s and I left it out

because it sure goes now! I also bought a new lamp at

Target for there on the end table…I’ll show you soon!

january 009

 

Now my hutch had all my tureens on top, I think I have six, I

left the bread basket there and moved the tureens to my step

back cupboard!

 

 

january 008

I’m pretty sure I have a small tureen to put on top

of those books on the bottom shelf!

 

january 006

I always have to move this desk out so I can put our

tree in it’s place and I’ve been thinking of painting it

black.

 

january 007

 

I changed the top of it too!

january 010

 

I hope your team wins but right now at half time they

are tied!
