antiques around the house

There are countless reasons to decorate with antiques.  Number one for me is the immediate character and history they add to a space.  You can't beat it.  They're also trend proof, very well built and green if you consider you're reusing as opposed to purchasing something new.

And while painted antiques aren't exactly trend proof, I love them...

Furniture…Christmas style

I have a cold this week - boo.  This morning when Madeline came into my room to wake me up because she couldn't find socks (I haven't folded the laundry in a while…), I wailed, told her I was too tired to get out of bed and pulled the covers over my head.
Mom of the year, I tell you.
I can't wait for Christmas break!!!

On to more important things.  I did put together a round up of furniture - holiday style.  Lots of gold, green and red.

And because I'm humble - some of my projects…

I guess I'd better go fold that laundry...
