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.

From left to right… picture New York…glitter hearts in glass holder Khols

…mirror flea market long time ago…McCoy vase from Goodwill…tulips from

Michaels…Love picture from Marshall’s.

Here is some cute vases from Target a few years ago in their dollar

section. Also the little tureen that I found at Goodwill a while ago!

Well, that’s what I’ve been up to all week, this type of weather makes me

so sleepy how about you?

I’ll be joining these parties:

Chloe and Art.com

I watched this little lady while my daughter and her family were at Disney, it was like having a baby! But what fun

she was so feminine so unlike Buster, who by the way was a little peeved at me and couldn’t wait for her to go home!

Chloe is a bishon/poodle, doesn’t shed but barks to high heaven! Her Mommy picked her up yesterday., she is such a

good girl and I miss her sleeping by me!

Another thing I did was go to Art. com after I had been to Stacy’s blog,

http://poofingthepillows.blogspot.com/ she had a picture that I loved and I immediately asked where

she got it,

Art.com, so I bought this print, it is made to look like a chalkboard and it was hard to photograph!

I love the little banner on it, I made a New Year’s Resolution to go to the flea market more this

summer, haven’t went yet but I plan on it!

My mantle for now…later on I’ll put sea shells out and some white wicker!

Standing beside the coffee table, I bought the table between the chairs at Khol’s, I like how it’s

open since the diningroom is right behind it. I exchanged the teacart and the white little ladder

from their corners too!

Thanks so much for stopping by on this busy weekend,have

a wonderful Mother’s Day everyone.♥

Mantel Love

Hello there! Hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of October, right?

I’m really liken my mantel this year,

I used four of my crocks that I have had for years, you wouldn’t believe how many I do have down in the basement.

Anyway, I thought I’d use a few this year for a little bit of a rustic look.

Oh, and while I’m thinking about it the owl pillow on my sofa in my last post I bought at TJMaxx or Marshall’s, a few of you asked about it in the comments.

Actually the two on the mantel and one on the left side at the bottom are called salt jars, a primitive mason jar if you will, you can feel the salt on the sides of them. Found these early in the 80’s so only paid a few dollars for them.

I think it all looks so nice against the white brick, one of the best things I ever did was to paint that fireplace, smile!

I’ve had the grapevine wreath and wanted to use it this year so wrapped some faux bittersweet from GW around it and added the blackbird from DT.
