The Simple Life:

A cottage small is all I'm after,
Not one that's spacious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter,
And the ones you love inside

Bad Blogger, Bad! And a house bio too!

I’ve been terrible and haven’t updated in weeks!  I’ve been busy, but also I haven’t had much to really blog about.  However I did recently add some new decorative items to my living, dining and bedrooms that I got at Old Time Pottery (LOVE that place!).  Let’s see:

I bought a few prints that I originally intended for my bedroom,but when I got them I realized the colors weren’t right and put them in my dining room instead.  My dining room is done in shades of red and orange – a very warm look – and the prints add a pop of teal green that I really like!  I also got a couple of nature-scapes that I put on the wall opposite this one.

I got some silk flowers and put together the two yellow floral arrangements that you see in the wall sconces here.  I bought the wooden shelf at a flea market and picked up the gold plate at Old Time Pottery as well. I LOVE how this turned out!

I also got new floral arrangements for the green and white vases on my dresser.  I added a decorative clock as well (you may need to click the photo here to see the whole thing).

I also got a gorgeous floral print that I placed above our faux fireplace.  I switched around a couple items I already had, like the golden glass vase, and I think this creates a very nice vignette here.  Very appropriate for fall!

I really like how my house is turning out so far.  Of course I spend WAAAY too much money on decorative stuff, what the hey.  I go for the bargains, but trouble with that is, I buy ALL the bargains! :)
