Around the House

I've been wanting to blog for awhile and just haven't. So last night, I walked around and took some pictures and today I'm blogging. Some of these items are new, some are old, but here they are!


Our January Dining Room Table... I went with blues, silvers, and bronze... and I really like it!






Here it is just 5 minutes earlier with some different lighting... interesting!



The Sun Room Breakfast Table... this one is fun! lots of browns and blues!!
Ty's grandma just gave me those brown goblets... she just didn't want them anymore... I love them!
Love these! These were a Christmas gift from a sweet friend! They are so cute, yet so simple! A glass votive, a starbucks cup sleeve (inside out), and some raffia!


I had this mirror alone on the wall for years! It never looked finished, but I couldn't figure out what to do. Ty's aunt gave us these two prints, I framed them, and here they are! Perfect! and I love the colors they add to the dining room!

Across the dining room is this collage... most of the paintings were done by my grandma. The bottom middle one I just added, it is by Ty's grandma. I always felt that his collection needed something more, and now it's there! It's all coming together... just takes a few years!
A close up of her precious "gas station"


Love this! A sweet college friend gave this to me years ago! It hangs on my newly re-finished french doors in my dining room. I love the sweet touch it adds to the room, plus it reminds me of my dear friend Jen-E!
So excited about this!! I've had all of my utensils in a pitcher for a long time. I love pitchers! But the opening was small, and it was tough to get things in and out. Found this vase/urn last weekend for $22 and picked it up!
I brought it home and showed my dad. I said "look at the new vase I got!" he said, 'Um, it looks old. Is it supposed to?" YES!

Not sure how I feel about this... but it's a start... a work in progress. I like the plate. I like the bird. Not sure if the pitcher is making my heart sing today. It's fun making little vignettes. and this one I look at everyday while I study my Bible and drink my coffee.
New glasses!! Not on a table scape yet... but coming soon I'm sure! I found these cute blue glaseses at Marshalls for $2 each! I bought 6! (that's all they had)

Well... as I look over those pictures I realize they all have 1 thing in common... lots of BLUE!! And that's what's happening around my house in January.
