Wooden Drawer


I don't know how much more rain we can take.  We are more fortunate than some~~so really I should not complain.  Just let me whine a little~~I'm tired of mud puddles~~we should be getting some sunshine Thursday and Friday!  I'll be outside trimming hedges.


I recently found these adorable vintage~like placemats set of four; all for $1.25.  Pretty with white ironstone.


When it rains~~I just vignette a little.  I love this drawer (it belongs to a little bedside table); today it houses some old bottles and a rooting of a philo~houseplant.  You know I love houseplants~~good feng shui!



I've been painting my dining room and preparing the walls for the new wallcover on top half of walls: background is pale tan/beige with white leaves.  Contrasted lower half with existing chair~rail and beadboard looking wallpaper.  Have you heard about it??  I got my info from other bloggers and it truly is beautiful stuff
 (and paintable!)~~~I will get photos as I can to show you~~

Above: my wallcover~~I'm thinking it will look good with all my whites in the dining room.  When will it be done?  ~~ I'm slow, but I'll get there and picture my progress soon.



And I need to paint the ceilings, get a new chandelier over the dining table~~one project seems to bring on several more~~does that happen to you?  Have a great day and if you are having sunshine please enjoy!  Smiles and hugs~~~~~

    Nice photos. Love your vignettes. It WAS sunny out, now it's overcast again. More rain? Probably. Susan

    I need to paint, too- but I hate the prep work. New chandelier? Now that sounds like fun!

    You have so many wonderful finds! I love the little drawer vignette! I think I would not be able to part with the little aqua shelf. It looks perfect there. I can't believe all the milk glass you found and for so little money. I feel like a packrat just reading your blog. I would want to keep everything!

    I love that little covered dish! The dish part looks similar to one I found {but it had no lid or dish underneath}. Love that drawer! What a great idea to bring it out and do some vignettes with it.
