Silver and Gold, Or Rather Just Gold

I added a few more Christmas touches in the new master bedroom.

I took out the blue, now there is just gold and white.

This how it looks at night with Christmas tree lights.

This is how it looks during the day.

I added a table to the middle of the room.  It is the top of an oak table and the base is painted iron.

The deer and large ornaments are from Home Goods, favorite store!

This is the back wall of the bedroom.

I love the vintage shutter with greens.

Some more gold.

The gold beaded garland I picked up today at the Flower Barn, and the large gold pine cone is from Bon Ton.

I just love how this room is turning out.

I love walking into our room at night after work and seeing all the window lights and the Christmas tree lit up.

Thanks for stopping by.

I am almost finished decorating the house and I will share this weekend.

I parting with Common Ground

My Romantic Home 

and 

French Country Cottage

I hope you will stop by and join the party.

A Great Day Thriftintg

I scored during my last visit to Sally!

This beautiful oil painting is so full of color.

The frame is what made me really want the picture.

Look at the detail.

I am not too fond of the gold.

However, I am not sure if the picture will look as nice with a white frame.

Ironstone tranferware platter.

I love the little green detail.

I am always on the lookout for vintage ornaments.

Of course, I could never have too many of them.

And my favorite find.

HUGE!

Silver tray.

Footed 

and 

Handles.

LOVE IT!

I can't wait to start decorating for fall.

The weather is getting cooler at night.

You can almost smell fall coming.

THEN COMES HALLOWEEN!

Happy long weekend everyone.

On With the Decorating

Bringing back the Christmas spirit.

The floors are done!

LOVE IT!

I knew the new floor was going to look great with my slipcovered furniture

I spent most of the weekend painting walls and trim.

Once I had that paint brush in my hand I just wanted to keep going.

If there wasn't a holiday coming up to get ready for, this whole house would have gotten painted.

I had forgotten how easy it is to paint trim when you don't have to tape first.

The final tree is up in the living room.

This tree has so many lights I actually had a Griswold moment, bamm no more lights.

 I blew the fuse in one of the extension cords.

I fixed the fuse, rearranged some of the plugs and now it is just beautiful.

I don't think you could fit another ornament on it.

That makes a grand total of ............

12 trees

I love this big silver bowl filled with a mix of vintage ornaments on the coffee table.

I have not finished decorating but at least now most of the furniture is back in the living room and we can walk into the dinning room.

Thank you for all your kind words. 

It was a rough weekend for Mr. M. and reading them meant a lot. 

I hope everyone is enjoying getting their trees decorated, making cookies and all the fun to be had at this time of the year.

Oh, if you have any extra snow, send it our way........this is Buffalo and we got NO SNOW!

Basement Bargain Treasures

My father has a thing for houses, he seems to collect them like I do chairs, only mind don't pay rent.

In his latest conquest he came upon some vintage ornaments in the basement.

Knowing how much of a Christmas freak I am, he called to see if I wanted them.

Well of course I do!

I think the pink bells are my favorite.

These gold pinecones would look great on the basement tree.

Some of the pink ornaments will go on my daughter's tree.

Just look at this indented one with the Santa inside.

In fact, I saw a repros being sold of this one.

The box is just full of vintage ornaments.

I can't wait to fill a bowl of them.

Thanks Pop!
