Our Living Room is filled with LOVE!

Our living room is filled with LOVE and lots of hearts for Valentine's day!


The beautiful, black and gold vintage frame is a gift from a very dear friend that has been waiting for something special to fit inside it. So, I added scripted words, as a background, to the coat hanger heart that I made a few years ago.
A candle rose and an antique, ring box are balanced inside the frame's inside rim.

The words expess my love to my honey in a repeating pattern.


Grandma's baby shoe sits on top of a band box that I recently found. I had to have it when I saw the heart!

One of her pearl earrings accents the frame and photo from a very special night on the town.
  I couldn't splurge on real, red roses for the vase, so the faux ones had to do for now.

I added a ruffle to "fancify" my bentwood chair.

A trio of Valentine candy boxes create a little vignette.

The ruffle matches the ruffles on our tv console.




A unique, gold, antique wire and wood basket holds nostalgic cards on my father's, little bentwood, chair.

Hearts hang on an old, white ladder in the corner of the room.

 I hung my chippy shutter on the wall

and pinned a Valentine to it's center.

Subtle touches are on the washstand.



I love this shabby book and heart vignette.



Grandma's Victorian mirror wears a pair of gold tin hearts and a 1940's Valentine, too.

 A little somethin' for the washstand.

Two, heart boxes and my honey and me, too!

 I will be back with one last post for Valentine's day. I'll be showing you the tablescape that I'm planning for our most romantic day!

 Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
and Gucci, too!

New Fall Window Dressing & Fresh Wall Color

  I really liked our fall window dressing that we've had since early September, but I was getting tired of looking at it for so long.
 It was time for a new look.

And since I never tire of using ladders in room decor I decided to remove the one from over our mantel and use it here. I'm glad to have my blog to have pics to reflect back on and see  the many ways I've staged them. You can use my search bar to see them if you wish!

This time it's an herb drying/display rack and handy place to keep necessities for trimming and watering.

Rustic, chippy ladder love!

A keepsake magnet tugs at my heart.

The rusty, vintage scale stayed with a little change and hangs off to the right this time around.

I  changed the valances from the Battenburg ones and hung country, striped kitchen towels over the rod for more of a countrified look.




This is the new wall color. My honey and I painted it in 2 1/2 hours this weekend!


The old yellow paint was here when we moved in. I'm glad that we finally changed it!

It's much more subtle and photographs well.

I chose a color that co-ordinated with the color of the tile's grout.

This was a little project that I made last year.....you can find it here.


In a few more weeks this will be filled with Christmas decor....I'm dreaming up it's theme right now!

Hope you'll be watching for the new window-do.....I'm just not one that will make the changes until after Thanksgiving has passed!

 Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
