Mirrors

I love old mirrors with unique shapes and chippy paint! I wish I could put some over my sofa but they would reflect the TV...no so cute...

A Problem


Okay so this is not a serious problem! But non the less it is still a problem...here it is...I have trouble finishing craft projects! I get all excited about something cute I am going to make, go out and buy all the supplies, start work, and then get tired of it and shove it in a drawer! I have about three different projects that are incomplete at the moment... I really want to make some grain sack pillows, but I guess I really should finish what I have already started...Right?

They Have Arrived...

Happy Holidays...My new sofa and loveseat have arrived! I have taken a few pictures of the new goods and some of my Christmas decorations.
I am really pleased with the way the sofa and loveseat turned out, however they are so big I feel as though they make the rest of my furniture tiny.

I painted my coffee table navy a few weeks ago and it is a nice change from the red it used to be, and goes well with the accent pillows I chose.

I still like the wall display behind the sofa but with all the other changes I am ready for something new, instead of a grouping I am thinking maybe one big piece... what that may be I have no idea...but I am on the hunt.

The TREE decorated in blue, green, and silver framed with my "frugal find" Country Living chairs from the BIG -K!


From left to right...the first fabric is what my new curtains are made of. I love the pattern on this fabric but I am thinking I am going to put these in my dinning room and maybe try to find some fabric that has a touch of blue, I feel like I have a lot of cream going on in the living room and the blue might help anchor things.

The next fabric is what the sofa and loveseat are covered in...my mom and I spent 3 hours in the furniture store trying to choose just the right fabric. I wanted something neutral so I could just change my accessories to have completely different looks; I also wanted a fabric that was going to be durable. We choose a khaki made of 100% cotton, many would agree that a blend even 95% cotton 5% rayon would have been more durable...but I think it will hold up just fine, and I really like the look 100% cotton!

The next two fabrics are what the accent pillows are covered in. I knew I wanted blues but my choices at the store were somewhat limited so the leopard print is not something I ever thought I would choose but I think its fun and a little unexpected!

Okay so this bookcase is not my first choice of bookcases by any means...but the little wicker bookcase from my childhood could no longer hold up all the books and nick-nacks I wanted to display so this will do for now.



Key ornament $1.00 at Wally World...they really have the cutest ornaments this year!

I have only purchased a few new Christmas decorations this year, but the lighted branches are my favorite buy from Ace Hardware.



One of my all time favorite pieces is this corner shelf my mom and I found in Alabama at a cute little shop called Bloosm

This is my mini sourdough ornament tree in the dinning room.

The dinning room is my next project, right now it is empty and I am on the hunt for a dinning room table and of course a much needed HUGE hutch!

*Hope you enjoyed this Christmas cheer*

Baby It's Cold Outside

It has finally gotten cold here in the South. Here are some items to help keep you warm and cozy, just don't leave the house wearing them!
Fuzzy house shoes. My feet are always cold and I mean always...these would keep them warm for sure.

A snuggie! I know, I know so corny but I got one last year for Christmas and I will never give it up it is wonderful!

Hot hot coffee! I love New England brand coffees.

A pile of books you have been meaning to read.
