Not enough Floor Room~ Hang 'Em High...

PROBLEM:

Forced with a situation of too many chairs on the floor and extremely tired of moving them around to clean the floor...

Blank wall in sitting wall and I can't stand a blank wall....

SOLUTION:

Hang the chairs up on a peg rack hanging vertical. I had an extra one from the move from the other house. So I didn't have to purchase anything. And I always have black spray paint hanging around. SO.... Just a good spray of black paint and we will Hang 'Em High!

Pillow Parade...

http://kariandkijsa.blogspot.com/

I have decided to be a part of Kari and Kijsa's Pillow Parade!

So join me and the others as we have a little fun! So, Girls, Let us see those wonderful pillows that fill your homes! The fluffy ones...the frilly ones...the needlepointed ones...the down-filled-fringe trimmed-fabulous little bits of fluff we call pillows that we rely on so many times to come HOME to!

Trying to add a little "Wild West" flare to the sitting room!

I love the down filled feathers!
Those wonderful needlepoint pillows that remind us of

astonishing seasons and give us that amazing resting place to relax and read!
When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today.
That's when I feel beautiful!

O bed! O bed! delicious bed!That heaven upon earth to the weary head.~

Makeover for Fireplace Mantle....

It was time for a change for the fireplace mantle....

I used my Red Candle Holders and Sphere from Hobby Lobby....

My beautiful Wooden Trinket Box from Big Lots filled nuts and vine balls......

Readers Digest Books from Thrift Stores, Yard Sales, Goodwill and wherever else I can find them for .50 cents or less.......

And to finish it off~ Beautiful dried Boxwood topiary that I found at a wonderful antique store between Atlanta and Auburn University on I85.

So.... How do you like it?

Would you like to come into this room,

cozy up to a warm fire with a book?

Or.... Do I need to change something?

I am always open to new ideas!

Finally Here... My Favorite Magazines!

Oh how I needed these! In Georgia, we have had so much rain and cloudy days I needed something to really get me going again after the holidays! Well here it is~ Romantic Homes and Somerset Life, my favorite magazines! They both are good, but Somerset Life is one of the best I have ever seen! I highly recommend this issue for anyone who loves art or crafts or even just..... the mention of LOVE! If you need a boost, some inspiration to start creating, run out to Barnes and Noble or JoAnn's and pick up a issue or two (one for a friend who needs some encouragement)! I promise you will be in your art room soon wanting to create something fabulous!

Note to daughter and niece~ Your copies are in the mail! LOVE YOU!
