Vintage Harp Chairs

Pin It


These chairs were only five dollars each! Should I paint them white or a french linen color?

A Country Farmhouse - yippee

Libraries are for learning and gathering information. I had to take my son to the library last night and after I gathered up a few things I plunked down in a chair next to the magazines. I picked up Country Living because I love white decorating and the cover pulled me in.

I was thrilled to find out it was the Burke's aka www.acountryfarmhouse.blogspot.com living room on the cover and the most delicious photographs of their home inside. (All of you probably know about their blog, but if you don't head on over.) Trina has the most beautiful country home and I should have "followed" it when I first found it. There isn't any clutter to be seen. Today I went right over and with friend connect linked up. (Hoping the decluttering thing rubs off on me.) Why are we so slow to link up sometimes? It's the best way to find someone again and to keep in touch. Of all the supermarket trips I have made I hadn't seen this new Country Living magazine.

I devoured each picture in the magazine and wondered (quietly) how people keep their kitchens so sparkling white and scrubbed?

Christmas Garden Farm Table

LOVE farm tables. This one is outdoors but under a roof. A coconut husk mat liner, for hanging baskets and window boxes, is used for a table runner! The chippy old sled with greenery on it compliments the greys.




I would love to build a farm table and put it right in the middle of our vegetable garden. Then we we need to build a long gazebo over it. And plant more roses. Our dreaming takes place in the winter months. This vignette has an old world vintage touch.

Romantic White Interiors

Yesterday I struck gold as I drove to the airport and back. It's the only time we pass these wonderful shabby antique stores at Lucketts, Virgina. On the weekends it's a traffic jam with people from the city driving out to gather up car loads of goodies. This was my first time inside the shop since the time I stopped before it was closed. Once you walk inside of the Beekeepers Shop you will never forget it. It's a wonderful all-white world.


Look at the floor, it's so chippy white and fits in perfect. I mean my mouth might have been open in wonder the whole time. I sometimes think all white might be too bland, but not so here!





She has the most darling things. Look at these sparkly crowns!

Another great decorating tip they use is to place smaller tables on top of larger tables for more display area. Great idea if you have a booth at any festival or even in your studio.
