Fall Around MY Home!

From outside...

No Befores, Just Afters

Every once in a while, I get in a hurry and forget to take a before picture. That is the case with this table.

Someone did the work of stripping it down and refinishing it, but with the norm in my booth, if I don't do something different with a piece of furniture, it just sits there not selling!

Autumn Leaf Banner

I am beginning to decorate for Fall (though today is 98 degrees outside) and decided that on the agenda would be to make a new banner for my vintage window.

Song Book Table

Such a cute table with a fun scallop and cut-outs. When I saw it at a garage sale, all dirty and falling apart, I just had to have it to play with! You know, "do my thing"!

Nell Hill's my new best friend!

Hubby had a conference four hours away in Kansas City. I rode along just to visit my new best friend!

I am talking about a furniture and decor store called Nell Hill's! It is just so fabulous that they allowed me to take pictures so I can share them with you.

Mary Carol Garrity opened this store in Atchison, Kansas and now has opened a new 16,000 sq. ft. store in Kansas City. This is the one that I went to. Nell Hill's has a blog, and a website! You just have to see this! I am so in love!

What do you get out of this tour...Tons of ideas and in such beautiful surroundings!

Vintage Sewing Cabinet

Wow,

 I adore

how this

 transformation

 

 came out!

Gorgeous Shelving Unit

I am very drawn to these types of shelving units.



  I realize that these are Victorian and my style of decorating is certainly not Victorian.



    But it's the romance of the curves...


                 And the spindles that gets me every time!

Jewelry Stand for Lisa

My daughter Lisa, came back home for a week from Wisconsin, where she is currently living.



Her best friend (since 1st grade) Mandi, got married and Lisa was a bridesmaid.





While Lisa was in town, we did some Mommy/Daughter time and on a shopping trip to a store going out of business, Lisa found this...

Sit A Spell

I love it when a unplanned plan comes together!

 That is the case with these two chairs...


I found them out at a garage sale recently...already with the hard part done...stripped to the bone!

Wicker Drawer Stand

I happened upon a wicker drawer stand that caught my eye at a garage sale.



The price was right



So I bought it



But the piece could use a bit of a design lift.

Electrifying Sconces

It took me a while, but I finally DID IT!

What did I do?

Well, years after making two sconces and using them for wall art, I FINALLY electrified them.



Let's go back to the beginning...

Side Table Renew!

Do you remember this side table with drawer?




No?




Well, let me jog your memory...

For me, it feels decadent to have store bought curtains...
