A Peek Inside My Guest Bedroom

A few pictures of my guest bedroom.  I have a "travel theme" in here.  Plus it's a spot to display some of my heirlooms.  I also like lots of pillows, as you can see!

The painted nightstand belonged to my grandpa.  He used to have it next to his favorite chair and always kept a magnifying glass in it.  So I keep a magnifying glass in there, too. I'm pretty sentimental that way!

Five Dollar Desk

                   

While out thrifting a week ago I scored this cute little school desk for $5! It just needed a little cleaning. I already had the chair...so now I have the whole ensemble!  I dressed it up with a darling old school book that came from my great-aunt's home.   Then I added a few other books, an old flag, ruler, and some cute little children's games! 

   

Oops, sorry about the shadow!

      

Here's the cover of that cute little reader.

      

My kids came home from school and liked it, too!

Springing Back to Blogging

 The last few months have been so busy...I had to put blogging on hold.  Hopefully now I can get back to blogging now and then!  I sure do enjoy reading other blogs and seeing all the wonderfully talented and creative people out there! I'm posting a few new pics from in my house...just random!  Leave me a message to say hi ~ I'd love to hear from whoever reads my blog!

Giving Thanks

Hello again!  Getting ready for Thanksgiving and I have all my fall decor out.  I'm working on making the home cozy and welcoming for the fall holidays.  Thought I'd share a few photos.

This little dresser I found at Salvation Army.  Isn't it DARLING??  I just had to scoop it up!

Kitchen Window

Thought I'd share what I look at as I do the dishes.  I'm always doing dishes!

It's Fun To Rearrange Now and Then

 Instead of buying more stuff in a house that already is full, I like to rearrange and move things around, also as part of me cleaning everything, too.  Here's a look at my cottagey living room:

 That candleabra was at a garage sale...I think it's so pretty!

 I recently painted that flower table the cream color.  It used to be black.  And yes that other thing is an old hamper!

 I have a piano player in my living room.  How's about that for luxury?

All of my goodies on my Egyptian baker's rack.  Have a great week!
