Home Sweet Home


As you know by now, I LOVE the country. I would love to get married and move to the country and have about 5 kids. Would be idea to go out back chop some firewood, get food from the garden, fireplace going...  Here are some comforting pictures to me.

and looking out into the backyard view.

My weekend thrifty


 I hit the thrift and fleas this weekend. 

these are all in my house. not the store




not sure of the date on this piece-but the picture of it does it no justice...you can't see the intricate details. 





I just refinished my dresser and put new knobs on it


this chair is actually from 1939. 


here's the finished product. I did about 3 coats and then rubbed alot off for that old look. some places I tried to rub all the color off.



 velvet painting 




COMFY bed...apparently I like pillows. sorry to all you anal peeps who want to straighten my comforter out at the bottom.


 I love my dark wood floors that look like they have been there for a LONG time. you see that fluffy rug? do NOT buy one. gets crazy dirty
