Lamp and Boxwood Wreath

Hi everyone, how are you? I’ve been reading how the tree leaves are finally

turning in some of your states, ours trees get more naked everyday what with some

of the windy weather we have had.

I did want to show you what I did after seeing this on 21 Rosemary Lane,

I loved the look of Rosemary’s lamp so I decided

to do the same but then remembered I had one in the basement that wouldn’t need the

spray-paint.  

 

 

Didn’t take me long to wrap and hot glue the twine, I also took the burlap shade

from another lamp and put it on this one. The only thing I’m missing is the cute tassel

Rosemary used on hers. 

I think it turned out great and such an update on something that I already had and

didn’t cost a penny! Do you like my two little pumpkin spice tins? I’ve had them for

years and always bring them out every fall!

 

 

Now I want to show you my boxwood wreath that I got with my credits

from Josh and Main,  I’ve always wanted one! I have it hung on my window that

came from an old milk house.

 

 

I’m trying a little bit of red in my home and remembered it was down

in the basement, at first I thought I had sold it but finally found it,

so relieved!

I love ribbon that is used on some things that you buy, this was

wrapped around throw so I always save them to use.

 

 

 

So hard taking pictures of this wall! I hung on the narrow wall

coming into the livingroom/diningroom

 

 

 

Remember to stop by Rosemary’s blog to see her lamp, much more amazing

then mine I promise!

 

Thanks for stopping by hope you have a nice evening!

My Fall Porch 2014!

I can’t believe it’s the first day of fall and today it certainly felt like it, a high of only 59 degrees!

I actually had to wear a jacket to go to Walmart today, the sky is blue though and the sun is out!

I did do two different things this year I bought mums for the porch and made a

burlap bow for the wreath. I was going to buy a hanging basket of mums but

decided the fern looked just as good.

This wreath I bought at a yardsale a couple years ago and I just added some pics from

Joann’s to feel it out more, this year I added the burlap bow to it!

I still have to add faux leaves to my window boxes and next bring out a

little bit of Halloween.

Have a great Fall evening everyone!

Take a Walk Around My Livingroom

Hi Ladies! The weather has turned from down right cold to hot and it looks like the rest of the week is going to be that way too! I’m so ready for it! So bring it on!!!
I thought today I’d take you on a tour of my livingroom, I haven’t showed it for a while, everything is the same but this time I can talk about some things that I didn’t get to before!
I’m still loving the burlap, apple green and my Extorp sofa. I love Ikea just wish it was closer, like 37 miles closer:) That’s where I got the black and white pillow too that you see there! The green ones are from Marshall’s.


I like taking pictures like this…it’s great to see where something should be moved to or to just take it out of the room altogether! I’m thinking like the shutter should be moved and more pictures added below the ones on the gallery wall.

Lately I’ve been using my spring smelling candles, this one is called Mountain Lake from Yankee Candles, the windows are open and the curtains are blowing in the breeze making the whole house smell fresh and clean.



To take this picture I was standing right in front of the screen door to the back porch.


I’ve been so tempted to paint the step back cupboard that Stush built for me one Christmas I guess I’d go white but not stark white! What do you think?


Well, it’s over the hump day and the weekend is almost here, what will you be up to? I will be either in my daughter’s pool or on the docks!

Prettying Up the PB Coffee Table

Today I thought I’d give my coffee table a new look, spring is next month, although looking out the window you would never know it, just to much snow. I’ll be glad when it does go away, Monday night, coming home from work the roads were so bad, so I want it all to just go away!

I like using my basket tray, with everything grouped together, the ceramic popcorn holder crock came up from the basement to hold these green Hydrangeas yes, they are faux and I love them, to me they look so real and the green color is so welcoming. You can also see the fabric hearts in the middle there, I only have a few of them left from my prim decorating days.

Also in the upper right hand corner you can see my new pillow I got on clearance at TJMaxx for $10.00. The candleholder is from the Dollar Tree which I spray painted white a while ago.

When I was at Michael’s I bought some burlap ribbon, you don’t get a lot for $2.99 I found out so I decided to tie some around some books that I keep on the lower shelf.

Doesn’t it look like a first grader wrote the word “books” with the chalk? I’m just not good at writing with chalk. I see other’s do it and I’m amazed at how nice and pretty it looks.

On the other side of the wire basket I have my two wooden bowls and I think I need more, I should have more some where around here:)

This is as far as I got on it, had to leave for the good old mamo and GYN appt.:) Yes, I shaved my legs but forgot to paint my toenails, I’m sure he didn’t notice.lol
