An Old Dairy scale a Ladder and White Roses

September 25, 2012

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

Adding an Old Door

September 24, 2012

Well I am sure you know how much I love old doors.I think I have mentioned this a few times.And shared my favorite doors HERE and HERE. I moved my farmhouse door to my kitchen and since then have not been happy with the way it left a bare spot in my family room corner.I have tried different things.But I really loved that door there.It added height and interest.On Friday it was a rainy day but I did get to a few garage sales. I scored!!! I found an old door! I know an old yellow door nothing special.It was not even chippy.But I really loved the hardware and I knew I could make it special.Here it is the after. I painted this with a coat of Annie Sloan duck egg blue and a coat of old white.I sanded it down a bit to show the duck egg blue and a little bit of the yellow.I found that old etched ... View Post

Create A Faux Patina Using Chalk And Milk Paint

August 28, 2012

Create A Faux Patina Using Chalk And Milk Paint I really love the layered look of  paint. I'm sure that you've stumbled onto those pieces of furniture at a flea market that show the wear of time. It's chippy, crackled and perfectly worn. I decided to experiment with my mantle and see if I could recreate a faux patina using chalk and milk paint. I know architecturally it does not look old . But with a little paint I thought I could give it an aged, distressed patina. So what inspired me to do this? Well it wasn't just the old chippy, distressed pieces that I love it was also something I saw in a movie. Do you ever really look at movie sets? I can't remember the movie now, but I was watching a movie and noticed the mantel was old and chippy looking but the mantel itself didn't look old. I ... View Post

August 25, 2012

I have been busy with lots of projects.That is how I usually am.I have so many ideas all at once and I can't wait to get started on them .Seriously I will sit down watch a movie and I will look at the way a room is decorated and the ideas will flow.I know I am crazy right. I am finishing up my "Inspiration room. I finally have a space of my own to create.But I am not ready to reveal just yet.Here is a little peek at it.There it is just a little peek.The Flowers are from our local market.After viewing these roses on Courtney's blog French Country Cottage and recently on Laurie's blog Heavens Walk I knew I have to have these.And since my birthday is just around the corner I treated myself.Note to Mr. Cottage.....Thank you for these lovely roses.I could not pass them up!I love the pink with ...

Farm House White Shabby Pink

August 22, 2012

In between painting and other projects I decided to change things around a bit.As I mentioned before I usually do not use pink much in my decor.I do LOVE the color.But I use it sparingly as an accent.I found this sweet old chair and I could not resist.I have some red in my kitchen so I think this pink will work.It has a little bit of green too.It will go perfectly with something I am working on in the kitchen.Don't you just LOVE all that chippy paint!  Hydrangea's are from my garden.They are starting to turn colors.And they go perfectly with this chair.Found this beautifully tarnished tray too.I moved my French Bottle rack to my island so I decided to put this rusty white rack on my old farmhouse table. Love all the rust and chippy paint.I love the shape too.Lots of scrolls,crazing and ... View Post

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
