"Displaying Your Treasures"

 It always makes more of a statement when you group your collections together...You know what they say three of anything makes a collection...I love white so therefore I love milk glass...GOOD ADVICE!!! Let a collection inspire your color choice for an entire room...This is just a little post for you , pics that I already had saved...The armoire is probably my favourite piece , we keep our T.V in it for now ,  but my husband has informed me that he wants a bigger T.V  so therefore I will have an empty armoire...I do need somewhere to put my collection of vintage finds , linens & things!!!     

And one last picture for you , a little Christmas!!!  Blessings Lori

My Shabby Chic Table !!!

The shabby chic table , that I titled my post today is what inspired me to do another posting back to back for you !!! I hope you enjoy the little details in my pics...

I love to incorporate my faith into my blog...This old picture is our " Lady of Perpetual  Help ". Remember yesterday I said I was going to the flee-market well I did and I bought those two scalloped white platters for $1.00 ...That's what I call a deal... 

My Shabby Chic table , this is a small space in my kitchen that I just did over today and I love it !!! Love the look  of the weathered wood...

"White on White"  "Tone on Tone" This is my all time favourite look!!! 

The twigs are the ones I spray painted...Can't beat a good old can of white spray paint...See where your imagination will take you with a can...

And a full shot from the kitchen , leading into the dining room , then the front entrance , and off into the family room!!! Have a great week everyone!!!  Blessings Lori

Crisp & Clean Dining Room !

Let's see what adding one intense color can do to an all white theme... I decided to try yellow , for my new dining room look...Enjoy your visit...

       24hrs ago this hutch got a new look , a fresh coat of white paint...It was once espresso in color . Much much better white , I love the crisp , serene , feeling of living with white...

When we renovated our home I convinced my husband to allow me to put up as much beadboarding  as I wanted to...I chose several places in our home and love the way it can transform a space...

I love the simplicity of this picture!!!

Layered dishes...One of my favourite looks... 

The black & white pics are always nice , but in this case I think the colored pics are best...

A little sneak peak from my "Milk Glass" collection...I will be off to the flea-market today to see if I can find more pieces...It's always nice to group your collections together!!! 

St. Joseph pray for us... 

 

The corner cabinet is one of my favourite yard-sale finds...$10.00 can you imagine !!!

You will see I was lucky (blessed) enough to find two sets of the pom pom curtains at a second hand store . The other set are in my daughters bedroom ...I hope to find more someday...

The yellow forsythia branches makes the dining room bright and cheerful!!!

Another little peak of one collection..."Silver" Very fun to decorate with especially at Christmas...Thank-You so much for stopping by...Have yourself a Blessed day!!!

Welcome "Guest Room"

I really had to give my guest room an up date. So here it is!!! I hope you enjoy the visit...

I thought I should paint the little wooden table you see in the background , but I'm glad I didn't . I think  it looks great the way it is...I'm sure one day it will get a fresh coat of white paint like every other piece of furniture I own...

O.k     I must tell you about the great find you are looking at...I'm talking about the picture of our Lady holding the infant child Jesus...I went to pick up an old table I bought on kijiji , which I still have to do over ,  and I asked the lady if she had anything else for sale , she said" just an old picture"...And the rest is history...I absolutely love this picture it was most definitely meant to be mine...  

May our Lord Jesus bless you , and your loved ones this day!!!

Blessings Lori!!!

Mary Claire's "OASIS"

After having my two boys my daughter finally came...This was a dream come true...Now I have someone to be girly girl with , and that's just what we do.We gave her a white & pink  room and stuck with it for seven years and no plans to change it up yet...We love the serene feel of the pale colors... 

I must say ,  I could use platters in every room for wall art . If it's not a mirror it's a platter , in this case it's both...I love the look !!!

 Pom poms if you look closely enough you will see them on the curtains , Love love love pom poms... And if I'm making a pillow it will usually have ??

Playing around with editing my pics...What fun this is , something about black & white pics you just gotta love...I've been playing around on Picnik for my photo editing and I'm so sorry to say it will be closing in April sometime...There is still time to check this site out though!!! Have fun

What memories , this beautiful white dress was Mary Claire''s christening gown ...Now we have it on display in her room... Hopefully one day she can pass it on...

"Mary Claire"  Was named after our Blessed Mother & St.Claire...We all love her name and  it fits her perfectly!!!

"The feather  wreath"   very easy to make I used a 12" star foam ring  and wrapped it with  2 white boas  from the good old dollar store and put a few eggs on it...Made it last year for Easter it went so well with her room we just left it up...

                                 

Hope you all enjoyed the tour of Mary Claire's bedroom , and hopefully got inspired!!!

                                                             Blessings  Lori

Love Is In The Air!!!

Let the sunshine in...It's a beautiful sunny day,we sure have a lot to be grateful for... 

Some of my home made cushions showing up in the background , I'm trying to get better at using the reflection of mirrors in my pics they can add a lot of interest!!!

Hail Full of Grace...

Love using the romantic color of pink , it usually only happens at Valentine's Day & Easter...

Love the "Iron Stone" mixed with the "milk Glass" and just that hint of wicker in the background....Can't go wrong combining white & pink for this holiday!!! 

These little paper hearts you see are so so easy to make , just get a pair of edged  scissors & some pretty ribbon and cut away....My great friend and our two lovely daughters made them last year!!! 

Paper hearts my daughter and I made last year...Fun little project...

The layered look of anything white always gets me excited...This simple color has changed my whole life!!!

Pure , Simple , Elegant , WHITE !!!

The Lord is with thee...I hope you enjoyed my posts for the day! Blessings to you  and  your family....
