Table Tops !

A quick little post to join in on A Stroll Through Life for table Top Tuesday !

This is a table in my living room that I have placed a few treasures on ,one is a tile that has "with God all things are possible " also sitting beside it is a family photo from when I was small ! I was the youngest , so that is me ...the smallest one !

Sorry for the glare & reflections.... so I am sure this will "date" me !!!
I also took a snap shot of a shelf I have in my office, holds some family photos and more treasures! Photos of some of my children and also the smallest one is of my niece Laura who is no longer with us but is dancing & singing in heaven with her dad! You can read this post from awhile ago about her also ! The little tea cup was one of the last things she had purchased and is a treasure now !

Have a fabulous Tuesday ! Thanks for stopping by & check out all of the other table tops !

Friday Flea Market & Fall is on it's way !

Friday Fea Market Link at the Bottom of this Post

I have been trying to get some fall things put out around my home this last week ! How fast summer went by , it seems I did not get everything I wanted to do done, as usual ! But it seems like fall is in the air & on it's way ! Some of the leaves are starting to turn, I don't know if this makes me happy or sad, I love fall and the fabulous weather we have , but then I also know that winter is coming ..... I have yet to ever want winter ! This is a photo of some treasures I have had for quite some time that I arranged under a glass dome. A vintage cut glass pitcher with some fall berries, a very very old little broom , a roseville pheasant and a card my sister made ( she is the card maker in the family ) ! Sitting beside the glass dome is a vintage hat that was my mothers, velvet leaves all in fall tones , how cool is that !? But I guess I would never be tempted to actually wear it !


Hope you take time on Friday to check out some of the vintage treasures I have listed !! This is the link to my Flea Market !! Hope you enjoy it !!

Painting and Painting !!!

The last few weeks I have painted my kitchen,dining room,living room ( which includes a high stairwell entry way) my office and a bathroom downstairs and my bedroom !! Was a lot to tackle at one time so my home has been in a huge mess ! I realize when you paint it then leads to more things ... like organize this , or clean out this ..change the decor or eliminate totally !!! I still am in the process of putting things away !

My kitchen,living room ,dining room and entry are all connected so I painted all of those walls in a Bona Fide Beige ( Sherwin Williams colors) and one wall I painted a darker color called Mocha ! Photo is of an area in my kitchen by my back door.. my favorite shabby keeper ! And all of the trim is painted white.

I painted my office the same Bona Fide Beige on three walls and one wall a muted turquoise blue color ( tradewind) . Usually Iam not a blue person but I painted a similar color in a clients home not long ago and loved it ... so I decided to do my office in it ! I also found some curtain panels that are in the same blue tones and have a look of silk, finished off the whole room ( in the photo the curtains look bright , they are not , just the sheen made it apear that way ) They actually match my wall very close in color !!

I also painted my bedroom and bathroom in a muted green color called Ramie . It is more in the brown/green colors. Below is a little corner in my bathroom !!

Last but not least is my downstairs bathroom ...I painted it with the same paint from my office , the Tradewind ( a muted turquoise blue..robins egg blue ) , the upper wall is in a antique white because I didnt want it to get to dark for a bathroom . And the trim is painted white .



Just a little peek into what I have been keeping busy with ! Now I need to get busy and start creating again !!!
