This has really been a long time coming. This is the only room in the entire thirteen room house, that is not original to the 1903 home. It was lengthened at some point, still pretty long ago though, because it also has the old nob and tube electric under the floor boards, so who knows….
Welcome onto the porch, one of my favorite places, for what I like to call a “Sit Spell” Here in Pennsylvania it takes a little longer than normal to be able to add Pumpkins to your front porch, because its still so warm, really into early October. But once the nights start getting cool, its…
Just popping in quick to share a pretty tablescape. What could be prettier than that of flowers and pumpkins cascading down the table. I pictured this in my mind, kind of the way they would look if they were tumbling out of a large cornucopia, but I was going to use a large Urn instead….
I had a cabinet sitting in front of this wall for 20 years, we called it the Spice Cabinet, because, you guessed it, it was filled with spices. I would constantly bump into it with my upper arm and end up with a bruise. We also have such a large collection of platters that they were all…
Just stopping in quickly to share this update in my dining room. If you are like me my home is constantly evolving. I kind of feel my way through it slowly. Anyway….. A few years back I painted the living and dining grey including the ceilings. Without realizing it I picked a gray with a…

When is it ok to paint an antique? Wow, that is a good question, one I have thought about often. I always wonder will I devalue the piece, will I regret it, what if I change my mind? All of these things are struggles when you are considering painting a piece you picked up at…
This is my story and I am sticking to it. My hubby stopped in at the auction one afternoon, while I was working, and said, he found this piece at the auction that he thought I might want to go check out. When I went up with him, I was all over it. It has…
Ok, Ok, any of you out there, that have been following along for any length of time, know that I have a beautiful antique Tiger Oar, sideboard, that my husband just couldn’t let me paint. I mean he would have left me, but it pained him, so what is a girl to do? I mean that is…
Boy have these puppies been around for a long time. I mean they aren’t antiques or anything. I purchased them about 10 years ago at the Pottery Barn Outlet Center in Lancaster, PA, for a song, and I do mean a song. They were priced $49, $59, $69, $79, $89, and I bought then for…
