Thank you so much for all of your suggestions! I decided I needed two more chairs that were a bit bigger.And I also decided I could not live with that yellow.I was lucky and found two chairs in that same style.They are not old but the right size and very sturdy.I decided to paint them all the same color.That is our den behind the doors.Still working on that room.No peeking!As you can see I also switched the bench to the opposite side.The newer two chairs are on the end.I think they look better as they are taller than the other two. Love those creamy white roses in my French white pitcher.My favorite round board on the table too! I use that every night!I really love this white! Seem to fit in better with all of the changes I have made to my home. These are beautiful! And smell heavenly ... View Post
White Painted Farmhouse Table
Guess what I have been up to lately.Moving things around yep again.Mr. Cottage is used to it by now.So don't get used to seeing things the same in my home.Expect things to change quite often.Remember that farm table I had in my creative room?Well I started to wonder what it would look like in my kitchen.And here it is.It is a bit longer than our other table and a little narrow too.But that is how those old farm tables are.I recently found those two yellow chairs and white chippy chair.And you remember that pink chair you can see it on my header.I also found an old bench and I painted it Annie Sloan Old White.I like all the different colors of the chairs.But not sure about the yellow what do you think? I really like having chairs mixed with a bench.This table really fits in with all the ... View Post
Fall Harvest White
In keeping with my simple fall decor this year I am keeping my mantle as is but adding a few white pumpkins.Well actually I think they are gourds.But we call them mini white pumpkins in this house. All are real except for the faux white one on the end.I am looking for a real one that size.I just have not found it yet so faux it is.Well at least for now.The real ones were all found at my farmers market. Some dried hydrangeas from my garden in an old milk bottle.I kept everything else the same on here.I just recently changed this and I like it so why change it. Oh I did add this sweet little piece to the mix.Found at a garage sale.It is a petite tureen! I have never seen one so little! The pattern is beautiful and has lots of crazing and that lovely brown color from age.I love this ... View Post
The Great Pumpkin Patch
I have been busy decorating for fall.I am keeping it very simple this year.Just using Heirloom pumpkins and things found in nature.A little vignette in my dining room.A large white pumpkin.I love these! I recently found that sweet little table at a barn sale! I really want to paint it .But it is a antique sewing table.Can you see the measure on the table? I really love that and I don't think I could paint it! And yes that is a paper nest.I found that at a yard sale today.They had five of these! I bought three and my friend bought one.I am selling one for now.I really hate these on my house.But they are quite beautiful! And fits in with my nature theme.I know Mr. Cottage is going to think I have gone crazy!!!A shot of my dining table.Keeping it really simple.Here is a close up.This pumpkin ... View Post
ART
What is art? A painting,a sculpture,something beautiful that makes your heart sing.Found this lovely old easel today at a barn sale.I have no painting to set in it for now.But I wanted to keep it and enjoy it for while.A chippy old frame will do.And some roses while drying and although they are dying add so much beauty to this sweet old easel.What do you think??????Art???

An Old Dairy scale a Ladder and White Roses
My Friends have had this scale hanging in there booth for sometime now.I have looked at it many times but walked away.After working this weekend I could no longer walk away!I knew I would have the perfect spot for it and this would also be fun to play around with.I hung this sweet old dairy farm scale right above my sink.I just hooked it onto my ladder.I found some sweet old linen I placed inside and draped it over a bit.These roses are from our market.I love the creamy color and a bit of green they have on the tips.A perfect fall rose!I am planning on adding my hydrangeas and some white gourds to this scale.But I had to take some photos of these roses in this basket! Aren't they gorgeous!! I am off to our farmers market today to pick up more pumpkins and white gourds.I need to do some ... View Post
