My Farmhouse Photos...FINALLY!

Hey, it's only taken a year, right?

I'm bettin' that some of you were thinking

I'd just made the whole thing up.

No farmhouse, just a figment of my over-active imagination.

But I feel like I've finally  made enough progress

to give you some glimpses of the living room,

or to be more appropriate to the age and era of the house,

the parlor.

Come on in.

Pardon the blown out, over-exposed photos.

I wasn't in the mood to edit, or apparently to even set

my camera properly. Oh well...

{ remember to double click all photos to "biggify" }

You see the dress form?

That will likely be removed next week,

the little side table will take its place,

and a set of tall gym lockers will be where

the side table is.

This is where I blog, edit my photos, eat,

I pretty much spend most of my time here,

and happily so!

I've received a LOT of Facebook comments about that

fabulous hand on my desk....

You can get your very own via my friend Ruth

at The Beautiful Life.  Go visit her!

My splendiferous (sp?) Carol Hicks Bolton sofa.

Thank you sweet Carol, for birthing my beautiful couch Babette

15 or so years ago. I've been a wonderful second mama to her.

Just a little bit of religious themed, mixed-media art

I whipped up from a piece of wood I got at Habitat for Humanity.

I know that it's nowhere near as good as what most of you

craftier gals produce, but I don't claim to be a mixed-media artist.

I just love this piece, as it has special meaning to me.

The little table which has a drawer on top

is placed strategically where it is just so

that Winnie, my cat, will have a place to sit

and gaze at the big world outside our window.

This lamp, tucked behind an old screen door,

formerly had a Tiffany syle shade on it.

I just felt the simplicity of this white one blended more

with the ambiance of the room.

 My suitcase vignette high atop the TV armoire.

Thank goodness for our HIGH ceilings.

And that, my friends, is it for now.

I will be sharing more photos of the master bedroom and kitchen

in the days ahead, as well as keeping y'all updated on all

my latest magazine projects.

Thanks for looking,

and have a wonderful week!
