FARMHOUSE SWEET FARMHOUSE

I'm not one to show much of the inside of my home, but there are those who ask me "what's your style in decorating?"
Right now, it's a DECORATING IN PROGRESS! I have went NEUTRAL (no more strong/loud colors for me!) Too Hard at this age for a major RE-DO and $$$! But that statement does not include myself~~~~This is my kitchen eating area~~~sorry for the pics being dark
This is my PETITE VINTAGE CHANDELIER above my kitchen sink~~~One of my ALL-TIME FABULOUS FINDS! It had OLD PINK RIBBON wrapped around the candlesticks~~~~So PRETTY~
This is also in my kitchen area. I bought this VINTAGE SELLERS KITCHEN CABINET over 25 yrs. ago. It was one of my first pieces~~~
This Antique Wicker lamp is in my Family room area. My brother gave this to me years ago~~~LOVE IT!! It's a KEEPER~~~
This is my INTIMATE area in my family room~~~the typewriter came from our family business years ago (I was very young) and also, the CHURCH ATTENDANCE BOARD is a KEEPER~~~The VINTAGE letters and saying....ETERNAL!
PRECIOUS VINTAGE BIRDCAGE and Matching stand in my family room~~~




My ANTIQUE MANTLE in my family room~~I purchased this when my home was being built~~~It was the best decision I made putting this in~~~LOVE IT!

OLD GLASS HOUSE NUMBERS in case~~~In my windowsill~~~found these at the longest yardsale~~Very UNIQUE!
SWEET VINTAGE MAILBOX in my FOYER~~~

ANTIQUE CHEST in my FOYER~~~



This is my computer room (even though I'm not showing you the computer). This pic was taken several months ago~~~~I now have dried hydrangeas on the PINK ICE CREAM TABLE

I hope you've enjoyed visiting a few special rooms/finds in my FARMHOUSE! I hope to show you more later on! From one sweetie to another~~~~Roxie

PIC-NIC FUN, MUMS the WORD and CHURCH FEEDER w/Climbing ROSES

I joined the PARTY at the NEW BLOG~~~OLD TIME FARMHOUSE~~~!! Cindy from OLD TIME PICKERS has created another FUN BLOG and this is the opening today to join the PARTY! Here are my PARTY POSTS~~~~~



I took a VINTAGE PIC-NIC BASKET in a FALL COLOR and put CHALKBOARD PAINT on the lid. What once was a basic, simple, boring PIC-NIC BASKET, has become some FUN for the HAPPY COUPLE! They can DOODLE while they're eating their fried chicken! That's my sweet crafting idea!


FABULOUS JUNKING FIND~~~~VINTAGE WICKER CART~~~~$18.00


FABULOUS FIND~~~OLD DOOR w/HARDWARE~~~$5.00

And this is what I did with these FABULOUS FINDS~~~~On my PORCH for the Autumn


Last but not least, picture from MY GARDEN~~~early SUMMER~~~~These are the PICS I chose to share in the three catagories~~~~~From one sweetie to another~~~~~Roxie


AUTUMN MANTEL IN THE NATURAL


I decided to decorate my ANTIQUE MANTLE this season in NATURAL items from my garden. I bought a few CASPER PUMPKINS and added a SCHOOL size VINTAGE HAND CHALKBOARD (added a little bling). I had the VINTAGE CANDLESTICKS~~~I thought they added a nice touch







Sorry, I really have problems taking pics of my mantle but I hope you get the idea! Have a blessed week! From one sweetie to another~~~~Roxie
