And this is what it looks like now.
I just found that latest pitcher at a yard sale I will share that in another post.
I really do love this simple look.And the warmth of the wood too.Yes I am painting many things in my home.But not everything.I do want to keep a few wood pieces to add some warmth.This and my antique sewing cabinet are not going to be painted.
Lighting is an issue in this room.Really the best time is in the early morning.But I am not always ready to photograph that early.I shared with you my cabinet that I just painted HERE .But you could see the lighting was bad.I apologize for the poor photo.Here is a better shot although this was taken in the afternoon and I get lots of shadows that time of the day.I do think it is a better photo.
You can see those shadows?
See that green chair?That is getting a makeover very soon!
There’s that shadow!
I should have fixed my sofa skirt it is a bit messed.Pay no attention to my lack of details!
I have to share this with you.At that yard sale that I am going to share in another post I found this sign.
LOVE these old street signs.Especially when they are black and white! Mr. Cottage asked me what is 40th street.I told him I did not know I just liked the sign.And he said if I ever find a 10th avenue to pick it up.If you are a Bruce Springsteen fan you know what that means.

Your collection of white ironstone has really grown! It looks lovely in your china cabinet. I agree that a little bit of wood goes a long way in warming up a room. My house must be HOT with all the old wood finishes. Hehehe.
Everything looks so pretty – each step by step closer to what you want. When I retire we are going to paint many of our pieces – but not everything.
You do have a nice ironstone collection. You and I must have started about the same time.
Sweet iron stone collection! Mine is growing… a few tureens , 2 tea pots, a set of dishes ( score), some cow creamers but alas, no pitchers as yet. Still searching….
Cheers, Gee
You have a very pretty collection Anne! I agree, as much as I love to paint a piece of furniture I love having wood tones in the mix. That’s such a pretty cabinet!
Such a pretty collection of white ironstone. It looks great in the cabinet. In fact, your whole living room looks great.
O’Anne, your collection of white ironstone is beautiful and you have it so beautifully displayed! I have a few pieces that I have picked up here and there. I have mine displayed between the dining room and kitchen. Hope you have a wonderful day, Gail
Your ironstone collection is beautiful, and i love the cabinet.

Love all of your pretties. The street sign is gorgeous. I just got a street sign at Round Top, and mine says “E Fourteenth St.” So looks like I’m a few blocks down from you.
You have a beautiful Ironstone collection. I love the pitcher and your two large covered pieces.Stopping by from Metamorphosis Monday.
Your white ironstone looks beautiful in the wood cabinet. Lovely contrast of the white against the wood. You have some very nice pieces.

I am so jealous of your ironstone collection – I’m dying to start one myself!
Visiting from Wow us Wednesdays…
Well of course I love your ironstone collection! Beautiful dispayed all together in your cabinet!
Your white ironstone is just beautiful. Love the look you have created in your home! Hopped over from Blissful Whites and I’m happy to be your newest follower. Would love to have you stop by for a visit! Blessings ~ Judy
Great collection and I love your new header!!!
What a lovely room! Love your collection! Visiting from Blissful Whites today 🙂
Love the ironstone collection. I have stacks of ironstone platters on the island I use all the time. Plus I stack other items on them for photos. The possibilities, with ironstone, are endless.
What a wonderful collection! I bet it makes you smile every time you look at it! I love it when you can find a great piece at a garage sale!!
Hi Anne,
I just love your cabinet filled with the white ironstone. And, I have the very same cabinet in my entryway which I did paint this past summer. I love it in the original stain but after 15 years, I decided to go white with it and I do love it. My vintage sewing machine however, like yours, is staying in the original.
Your home is lovely and you sure have a talent for showcasing your treasures. So enjoyed my visit.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Lovely things – as always! Thanks so much for linking up with Its a Party.
Have an awesome weekend xox
