Dried Flowers & a White Pitcher

Happy Monday friends...
 On Mondays I volunteer at the kids school for lunch duty, and on my way home I pass my favorite little florist/gift shop...she carries the prettiest little things.
Look what I found...

 This pretty little dried arrangement...it was love at first sight:)

 It came in the this white little pitcher.

It's perfect for the Fall season.

 I also added this blue and white plate that I had in my stash. I have a set of three of them, I bought them in Country Curtains awhile ago.

Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a super week!!

Third Times a Charm!

Hi friends!! 
Last week was a crazy week here with the kids starting school but I managed to fit in a few little changes... here's one of them.

I bought this painting last year from Linsey over at The Farmhouse Porch I love it... it's made an appearance in a few of our rooms but I think I like it in it's new home the best!
Here's what this spot in our foyer looked like before...

 then it went to this...

and now this...my favorite!

I bought the rustic looking frame in Hobby Lobby, I love the way it looks with this painting and it fills in the wall space perfectly.

I'll be showing the other changes being made around here soon. Have a great week!

A Chair's Before & After

 TGIF friends!  I worked on a little paint project yesterday and it involved this chair my mom found for me at a garage sale.
Look at her pretty shape.

 And here she is after... I used MMS milk paint in Linen. I didn't want her super chippy so I added a little bonding agent to the mix.

 I even dressed her up a bit and added this wooden applique. It's hard to tell in these photos but I painted the applique pure white to make it pop... then went over it with my sanding block.

 It started to chip a little in all the right spots... up here on the top...

 and a little down here...the rest of the chair I used my sanding block to distress it.

 I finished it off by wiping MMS Hemp Oil on the entire chair...love that stuff!

For now it has a home in my dining room.

 One more before & after...

                       Have a super weekend!!

I couldn't pass her up!

 It's a weakness I know, but I just can't pass up a pretty lamp!
I was shopping in my favorite store again this weekend...Home Goods :)  I'm always drawn to their lamp section. Look at this little cutie I found.

This pretty ceramic base is what caught my eye...it said take me home take me home...and so I did!

 Of course having a great burlap shade was the icing on the cake;)

 So many changes being made to this room and this new lamp fits in perfectly!

 So tell me are you like me... and can't pass up a pretty lamp?
                          Have a great week!
