Hello readers! Lately I have been working a ton, but now that it has slowed down a bit I have a chance to blog some more. I have been AWOL lately. I also have been really hooked on Ancesty.com and I have been trying to find out more about my paternal grandmothers history and man these ancestors of mine are sneaky!! But I did find this picture of my great great great grandfather Asa Moroni Beecher!
Isn’t he handsome!?
I think every room needs a table of some kind, whether it’s just to add to the decor, putting your drinks on, or just for putting your feet up. Tables can add a lot of personality to a room.
I have been looking for a small coffee table option for my living room, something not too big, but with personality. I had this suitcase in my flea market show inventory and decided it would be perfect. I found some perfect legs at the thrift store, drilled holes into the bottom of the case (Yikes! That was hard to do to such a lovely, old piece.), inserted the legs and screwed them in place.
Hello! I hope you all are enjoying the end of your summer.
Today I want to share with you one of my favorite items to decorate my home with. Have you ever heard of a cloche? It’s a French word meaning “bell” and these amazing pieces were originally used to cover outdoor plants in the cold weather. Today you see them used more inside to cover plants or to display a fun arrangement underneath.
I had always learned that lighting is important in home decor and figured all I needed were some lamps and to open the curtains. I soon learned that some times that doesn’t always work. I live in an area that has tons of trees which keeps the light dim in our home. I love the trees, but am not a big fan of dark rooms. I like the warm light that lamps give and usually have my curtains open but, in my case, that’s not enough. I would bet that many of you have a room or two in your home with the same problem, whether it’s a dim basement or a room that doesn’t get any sunshine.
Did you know mirrors can help lighting up a room?
