On The Homefront

Boy have I missed saying Hello to everyone! I'm looking forward to being able to catch up with all my blog friends. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for all the well wishes and kind comments on my last post. I've been a busy little nester this week and things are starting to come together. Thought I'd show you a couple peeks into my home. I'm not sure what shots the magazine photographer will be taking so I've tried to take a few photos of the bits and pieces. This is part of an entry table. The wall behind it is HUGE, probably over 18 feet so I needed something very BIG.

  This photo does not show the scale very well but trust me, those branches are very tall! I added a wire basket filled with old seltzer bottles and used an old shutter door as a serving tray. The frame for the artwork is old and worn but has an elegant feel with it's scroll details. Here's a closeup of the sweet bird.

I don't remember if I told you that we had to replace all our wood flooring due to the air conditioning unit flooding the downstairs, but anyway, here's a shot of the new stone floors. LOVE them so much more!

And this is a mohair throw that I bought here. It was $49.99 but lucky for me it was on sale for $12.49. The best deal that I've found this week!

And for anyone who might be interested, Sweet Girl loves eggs!

The 6 Days is the countdown for my little family, so they will know when all the projects around the house have to be finished. I think they love watching that number diminish!

Well, off to do more work. I promise a very large store update soon and don't forget to mark your calendars for the Maison Rustique Barn Sale happening September 21st through the 23rd. You are guaranteed to find treasures you can't resist! I've never come home empty handed. I'll update you in a few days the hours and location and hopefully a few sneak peeks!

Good luck on the coming deadline. I love seeing sneak peeks of your home. I wish you could come decorate my home. It feels like a pit compared to yours.
Hope all is well. I miss you.
