Here are some pics of the laundry room/pantry.  Unfortunately I had to combine two uses for this room.

Behind the curtains is where I hide the laundry soap and bleach etc...

And we put a shelf here to hold my jars of flour sugar etc...  I made a curtain below to hide the trash container, (sounds like I do a lot of hiding things here).  

I made a chalkboard out of a vintage frame to write the things down we run out of.

Hope you like it!!  I have my grandbabies this week so no more posting for me this week, time to make memories :)

The Last Of My Summer Garden

I thought I would share pics of my summer garden.  Fall is fast approaching, where did the time go?

 My Birdbath turned planter for the Summer.

 My porch decorated for Summer.

 Wrens live in this house.  I love watching the mama feed her babies. :)

 A stepladder I bought from a friend, she had cut a hole in the top for a plant.

Soon I'll be decorating for Fall!

Vintage trunk into coffee table

My Vintage Trunk into a Coffee Table

  I TOOK AN OLD SPINDLE THAT WAS ON AN OLD TABLE WE HAD TAKEN APART AND MY HUBBY CUT IT UP INTO FOUR PIECES FOR THE LEGS.
  HE THEN SCREWED THEM IN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK.  
  I PAINTED IT A CREAMY WHITE AND JUST LOVE IT!!!
  PLUS I LOVE THE ADDED BENEFIT OF STORAGE.
  
  

View of everything put together in the living room

This redo of the living room was on a very strict budget.  But I kind of like that, it makes it more of a challenge.  And I do love a challenge :)

I made the pillows with fabric from Hobby Lobby using a 40% off coupon.

I shopped my house for accessories and it was around my B-Day so some things were gifts.

The drapes are from Hobby LObby 50% off and I knew I was using the cream damask sheers with them.  So I cut two drapes in half and hemmed and I got 4 for the price of 2. :)

MY TROUBLED WALL, I AM NOT SURE WHAT I AM GOING TO DO HERE.  MY DREAM IS (AND I'M PRAYING FOR THIS) IS SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOCKED TONE ON TONE WALLPAPER ON THE CORNER.   THEN I WANT TO PUT OUR CHILDREN'S WEDDING PICS ON SOME STAINED WOOD AND PUT THEM AROUND THIS VINTAGE PIC FRAME I GOT AT A YARD SALE FOR $3.00 LAST WEEK :).  ON THE SMALL WALL PUT MY GRANDBABIES PICS.  WE WILL SEE WAHT I FIND FOR CHEAP.
TO BE CONTINUED :)

THIS LITTLE ARRANGEMENT IS IN MY DINING ROOM.  I MADE THE CHAIR SHELF FROM AN OLD CHAIR WE HAD RECEIVED THAT THE BOTTOM PART COULDN'T BE FIXED ON.  MY HUBBY ADDED A PIECE OF BOARD ON THE FRONT AND IT BECAME A SHELF.

ON IT SITS ONE OF MY ALTERED BOTTLES I MADE FOR OUR SALE AND I KEPT LOL. A DRIED DELPHINIUM AND A BLESSINGS PACKET MY FRIEND MADE FROM VINTAGE SHEET MUSIC.

ANOTHER SPOT IN THE LIVING ROOM, JUST A LITTLE VIGNETTE WITH SOME MERCURY GLASS.  ON A METAL TABLE IN FRONT OF MY METALLIC STENCILED WALL.

ON THE LIVING ROOM WALL AS YOU ENTER FROM THE ENTRYWAY.  AN OLD FENCE BOARD SHELF I MADE YEARS AGO AND STILL LOVE, A CLOCK FROM WORLD MARKET I RECEIVED FOR MY B-DAY, A MIRRORED SCONCE I GOT AT GW ALSO THE PRISMED SCONCES THERE TOO.

My lantern from my daughter for my B-day.  My old door is in the background with my architectural shelf with more mercury glass on it.

This is a little arrangement in my living room behind my couch.  I still have the mercury glass in the living room, I LOVE MERCURY GLASS!  have I said that before:).

MORE LIVING ROOM PICS

Here are a couple more pics of things done in my living room.

A shelf I had in our sale but I brought it home to live with me :)

I put some printed  burlap behind the frame and hung the sconce in the front.
