A Fall Flirtation

-
Welcome Friends,

I hadn't planned on posting today, but as I passed by a little washstand in my front entry, I was taken by the sun light shining on the wreath hanging in the mirror.


This wreath is so pretty and I just loved the soft pinks and taupes of the florals. It is a bit of a departure from my deeper color scheme, but I think it co-mingled quite nicely. My fall flirtation with pastels!


I'm thinking about painting this piece white. It is a very orange golden oak, and is kind of a mish mash of parts and repairs. I have had it for about a year now and keep threatening to take the brush to it!



Something about this taupe flower...be still my heart!


If you look to the far right of this pic, you can see a glimpse from something I will be posting about soon.


I am blessed and grateful for your visit today.

    You are such a tease, Jane. Far right? Steps? Upper hall? LOL
    I love your wreath and the pretty pastels.
    I'm with you---to paint or not to paint is often the question.
    Have a wonderful week- xo Diana

    The fall pastel wreath is a change from the normal Autumn colors. The colors work well and love the taupe mixed in. Janice

    Love the wreath and am intrigued by your desire to paint the washstand. I think it will look amazing. Can’t wait to see what you show us next. On a side note the package you sent arrived on Saturday and I was blown away by the beautiful things so carefully packaged. I am so grateful to have won your giveaway and wanted to thank you again!

    Jane, what a sweet wreath. I love the wreaths with all the faux flowers, but sometimes they are a bit garish (I happen to have made one of those for my screen porch) your's is so soft and beautiful. It pays to pick the right colors. After collecting antiques for a really long time, I was one of those who scoffed at painting a good piece of wood. I am passed all that now and really love painted pieces. If you think it is too good to paint then don't do it, but if not, have at it. I think it will look wonderful and I can't think what you are up to, maybe changing the carpet on your stairs, or not?..Happy Tuesday..Judy

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
