More Changes

Adrian arranged these flowers with a ribbon for me.
I love how this turned out!
Love this story...

Probably my least favorite arrangement. Seems a little cheesy to have a lifesize picture of yourself in your living room, but this is the room they match...so they stay!
Painted these leaves Almond...
made a big difference! and gave this arrangement a finished look.

Broke down and painted the birdhouse...made it look distressed with some brown paint. Love the finished look. I want to get a white vase (instead of the bright green!) and a new candle...the purple wax peeled right off of this one...otherwise, I really like the changes we've made here.

Victorian Meets Shabby Chic






I'm sure I can't make this transfer from Victorian to Shabby Chic without commiting some decoratoring faux pas along the way...Oh well! That's the fun of it I guess.
Vicky created this look on my armoire. I could never figure out what to do with this bird house and I think this is the perfect thing!

The birds were a great deal from Twigs. They are stone and I think intended for the garden, but they are light and work great here.

I'm not sure this arrangement is completed yet. It too is a work in progress.

Don't know what to do with the Courting Dulcimer now!...might hang it on the wall??

This little bird came from Dollar Tree...in 30 years, my kids will be saying, "she had these horrible white birds everywhere"! :)

Swans

Aren't these those most beautiful piece ever! I love this! I need help with what to put with it...with or without the flowers behind?

~ Corner Embellishments ~

Ok, so I'm not even waiting to to get the trim painted to hang these! These are the $3.40 bargian that Vicki found for me at Hobby Lobby! It gives such a warm feel!

Dining Room Hutch

This needs some more work!
It will be a gradual process...


Madi's Curtains




This is the material I hope to use in Madi's room for her curtains. The pattern I hope to simulate is at this link:
