Love is in the Air

Lately I've been in a Valentine's kinda mood. This year it's all about pink, rose petals and colored glass.

My china hutch.  The heart wreath is just a straw wreath that I wrapped in fabric and the AnnaSophia (with a little help) pinned fabric pieces all over.  This gave her something to help with while I was making the swag for my office.

I made the heart swag for the window it says "Happy Valentines"  The angels are from the Bradford Exchange.  I have about 2 dozen.  I'm still looking for ways to use these lovelys.

Side table

A close-up of the tiered server on the side table.  It miniture tea cups, teapots, and birds nested in vintage lace with a few jewels thrown in.

The coffee table.  The pink tray is a vintage vanity tray that I spray painted.

The dining room.

Sideboard.  The glass vases were Dollar Store finds and the lovely pitcher came from Home Goods.  How could I resist?

My office.  AnnaSophia wanted to help me make this swag - unfortunately for her she's only 4 and tieing (sp ?) is not her thing. So she made the heart wreath.  This is an old mailroom divider that I found years ago.  It is one of my favorite pieces.  It has 30 cubbies.  I use the top cubbies for bills, etc and the bottom for school.   As you can see by the overflowing state of the boxes it time to do the taxes.... YECH!!!!

Another view of the office.  My favorite piece here is the pink one on the left.  It was a Christmas sale item from.....Home Goods, of course!

The kitchen.  I had a few sparkly hearts from Michaels and some leftover hears from the window swag.  This is another cubby that I found a few years ago.  It holds my mixing bowls and cook books.  On the top are the drink stations - tea on the left (the girls) and hot chocolate on the right (the boys) LOL :)

The entrance.  Unfortunately I couldn't fit in my topiary tree with pink lights that is on the right.

Closeup of the candle.  I love these glass stones from Michaels.  They're various shades of pink, green and clear.

The piano.

Well this is what has been done so far.  I'm still working on the family room and the bedroom.  I'll post pictures of these when I get them done.

Blessings,

Here are some pictures of our latest acquisition. A wooden picnic table for the pocket prince and princess. It's just the right size for them to eat at during all our summer BBQs. These are pictures of our little pocket princess “helping” her daddy stain the table. Have a great week.

Fridays at My House

Sorry, I guess it's better late than never. I've been dodging the rain drops working outside trying to get all the gardening done. Hopefully I'll have those posts for you early next week. Anyway, back to business. Here is one of my newer acquisitions. Of course the cabinet came from the antique store in Englishtown. Where else does one shop for great furniture like this? (FYI - Donny has already asked for this piece as part of his inheritance - LOL - I just got it!) I bought it thinking it might go in the entrance way but ended up putting it in the corner of the living room behind the loveseat. I love it here. It's a great little piece - just the right size to keep all my tea cups and dessert plates. I also put a picture here of the bookcase next to the loveseat. This has become one of my favorite areas in the house. See you next Friday (or thereabouts - graduation is next week!!)

Blessings,

Theresa

Friday at My House

I have to let you in on a 'little' secret. There's something that I haven't told you. So before you get too comfortable coming to my house, I'm going to share something with you. You see....well, its just that....ummm....okay.... I live with

THE BOYS!

Let me introduce you to:

LEVI

NOAH & LAZARUS

What can I say? In our family we like big dogs. My girl friend says they're ponies. Ha! They are just sweet, loveable, cuddly dogs. Levi is a Mastiff. Mastiff's are hubby's favorite. He'd have a dozen if it were possible. Lazarus is mostly Alex's dog he is a Lab/Great Dane mix that we rescued. Noah is mine - he is a Great Dane. Believe it or not, he is still a puppy so he hasn't quite reached full-size.

Well, now that you now my 'little' secret, I still hope you'll stop by next Friday to spend some time at my house. See ya!

Friday at My House

I've decided that every Friday I will post a picture of something (or someplace) in my house. So seeing that this is the first Friday post we'll start with:

the entrance way.

Its not overly large but it serves it's purpose. The topiary is a new addition. I felt that something was needed to fill up the corner. Last week I changed the house over to spring decor. So away went the heavier pieces and out came the crisp white linens and crystal. I love having the sun reflect off the different pieces. My favorite piece in this area is the pink depression glass plate and bowl that sit on the silver platter. Every entrance way needs a catch-all for car keys, etc. You can't tell by the picture but the bowl and the walls are almost the same color. Oh well, see you next Friday.
