Thanksgiving Blessings

   May you have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving. We are celebrating with family and friends. Without my parents it feels a little empty but I know that my children and I need things to be as normal as possible so we continue on with my parents in our spirit and thankfulness in our hearts. Blessings to each of you!

Shopping Your Own Home!

I went to an auction last weekend and found this beautiful bed. I can see it being painted white after the holidays but for now I decided just to set it up. The problem was I didn't have anything else in the room. So today I decided to start looking in every room for pieced of furniture I could take from different rooms and make it look like a real bedroom. I found a lamp in the basement..a chair, clock and comforter set in my room. The candlesticks were in my room as well as the quilt on the chair. 

Sine the comforter set was green and purple there was no need to paint. I didn't get a very good picture of that. I had this large picture hanging downstairs. The table and white bookcase were in my shed. The rocking chair was in my foyer and the tree was my Mother's and it was in the garage. So far there has not been a need to buy anything other than the bed. I still have one more piece of furniture but I couldn't move it myself and then I will purchase a rug or two.  This room is furnished and the other rooms are still just fine...what can I say? Maybe I have too much furniture in my home? Well, all I can say is I am happy with it so far. I will try to get better pictures after I move a few things around.

Oh Christmas tree.....

Thought you might like to get a look at my bird cage...it makes me smile!

Last year I picked up a white tree at Lowes for a ridiculous price...then I forgot I had it. So I was happy to find it and like it!

I put alittle fluff in the branches then the ornaments. I am not sure about the red and gold but it matches the rest of the room!

Vintage Ornaments!

Thought I would show you what I was up to today! I am working on some vintage ornaments. This is my first try so I know they will get better but not too bad for working on my own! I am linking up with Home Stories

I purchased the center parts from Walmart but when I have time I will make some of my own designs.

 They did turn out pretty cute!

New Home for the White Cabinet!

Well, since I moved the red hutch into the living room I had to find a new place for the sellers cabinet. I moved a few things in the dining room and made room for it there! This is the new decorations for this cabinet!

I just love my new sign. I knew when I saw it that I could find a place for it!

And a little ornament that I found at Kohls!

A new little sheep found it's way into the cabinet too!

This cabinet is a little more peaceful than the red..but then the red makes a big color statement in the room!

I just love the little chandy...it makes things seem romantic!

New furniture in Red

Well, I spent all summer taking all the color out of my living room and then what do I do? I put a red cabinet back in the corner. But who could resist this little red cutie? I knew when I saw her that she would be mine. I decided for Christmas she could stay in the living room but then it will be moved upstairs to our spare room.

I didn't have any more lights for the bottom shelf but I promised you a picture and I was excited for you to see it! I still have garland to add to the top and more lights but I will show you another picture then too.

This is the before picture. I moved this cabinet into the dining room and I will show you a picture of it tomorrow!

Using Decorations that you Already Have...

Well, I am working on rearranging my furniture. I think it will make it fresh and different for the Holidays. My dh helped me bring two pieces in from the shed and I have been like crazy to make it all work. I guess all I needed was more furniture, right?
 I think I want to use my tea set in one of my displays.  I love that it looks homey and yet glitzy too! But for today I am just thinking that it would be nice to get everything in place. So tomorrow I will post pics of the new furniture and a few decorations!
 I am so thankful for all of you!
