kitchen light

we have had these pendant lights for over a year and finally wrapped our brains around the right application for them (after a trip to our local pottery barn) ...the dilemma has always been that one of the lights was going to need to drop right out of the middle of the skylight, which was really not an option.
the ladder (that was free) is a perfect solution for function and a little touch of detail. have a wonderful day.

fall at the suburban farmhouse

i just love the way the berries intertwine in this antique bracket

teacups are always a great way to "pedestal something up"

this tray sits on an ottoman and just "cozies" the room

those little acorns are from a tree up the road

these acorns too...

our mantel is currently a really thin one...so decorating it can sometimes be a challenge...it won't be thin too much longer

simple centerpiece in the kitchen

the benches on the front porch

some of the pumpkins from our garden :)

hope this puts you in the mood for fall...i am so ready for some crisp cool days and warm sweaters!

bedroom redo

before
with some laundry

after

the blue wall is a lovely restoration hardware-pottery barn shade of blue with some green and gray tones. i really like it. it is one of the few blues that i have found that does not look "baby blue" it is babbling brook at lowes.

we moved this glass piece of wall art to this wall because eventually there will be moldings on the wall behind the bed. and that pillow on the bed that near matches the blue wall perfectly was free from an elderly friend.

do you see the other candle holder...the match is in the bathroom

moved all of the pictures, less busy. concise.

we are really enjoying our new room...it is amazing what a can of paint can do...

up to

the above pictures are the before. don't you love all the brass and the faux paint in the water closet?

here is the after...the faucets on the sinks still have to be painted...yes you heard me right...painted. rustoleum has this amazing paint out called oiled bronze and it has a trigger spray and man does it look real.

replaced the towel bars with hooks

sprayed and UGLY mirror oiled bronze

mr. dc added this nifty magazine rack... molded into the wall

moved the towel caddy to a more functional space and doubles for tp storagecorner decor

recognize the mason jar...i think that idea was in better homes and gardens

painted that candle holder it was a free find in a garage giveaway. it was a REALLY ugly maple finish. you will see the other one tomorrow in the bedroom reveal.

more brass painted bronze

my man added a transom window above the bedroom door. this is a teaser for tomorrow. hope you like it...i sure do!
