Well folks, many a moon has shone on this new home in the country we had longed for- many days and nights of unpacking, rearranging, having family & friends over... But NO FURNITURE , NO ACCESSORIES, & NO lamps... in the family room or Den. Get the picture?
 |
| Lots to do... here's a good start ! This fireplace is daunting or should I say keeping me up at night ? |
Until a few weeks ago, Aubrie & I were over industrious and decided to have my Dad come out ( don’t ya just love Dads ? ) and bring the last load of things from the warehouse.. an overflow of things for the website- odds & ends, things remaining from shows and the move out here.
As we were unpacking I ran across an old print on board that I had used as a fireplace screen in a house before I married my Darling, an old window screen that Aubrie had in her office ... and away we went !
I literally had the idea, grabbed her by the hand and practically pulled her into the house. It only took a few seconds to show her what I had in mind....
I wanted a fairly neutral pallet, weathered type furniture and pops of green. And honey , did it work out well. A few weeks earlier my Darling asked me once again- “ Are you SURE ” ? before cutting the legs off of my favorite farmhouse table to create the PERFECT COFFEE TABLE for me.
A great job.. thanks honey !

| Loved it as a table, but couldn't cross my legs, so it makes a much better coffee table, don't you think ? |
Along with the large arrangements I had made the month before, the few things we put together looked pretty good & we accomplished what we intended to do. Just “scrounging” through things I already owned proved to be the best shopping and FREE ... Gotta LOVE IT !

| Much better..... but will have to edit.... you know how it is..... |
Next I have my sights on being very creative, painting on some old bottles and making some lovely artwork for our bedroom with some botanicals that I found on Etsy... Another story... another time.
Till next time- Write & tell us what you can repurpose.
Diana & Aubrie
