Movin it around!

Hey guys, did you wander what happened to me? Well I guess I've been a little blog lazy lately! But Christmas is coming and I've been doing some serious house cleaning! On my hand and knees scrubbing floors for 5 hours yesterday! OMG! My floors are so clean you could eat off them!

And I've been sorting through some of my things to sell! Can't find anything to buy, so I've been shopping in my own house. I had bought some treasures for myself last year and never found a place to fit them in. So I took this opportunity to trade the old for the new! Well the new is old! Does that make any sense?

These are the wonderful chairs I bought at Leftovers last year, and this table came from Shelbyville Antique Market. I moved a huge prep table out to make room for them and I really like the results!

I'm loving the creams and browns!

Just got this wonderful mirror a few weeks ago!


These alabaster birds are from French Vanilla!

Wonderful head stone urn is from Clutter.

I am finally amassing several pieces of coral,
and it's displayed in a huge shell I bought for $20.



I love this little carriage,
reminds me of Cinderella.




Hope you enjoyed all my movin around!
I've done some changes in the bedroom,
but Craig was already asleep when I took pictures.
I'll show them in the next post!

I need to ask about the shelf on the wall in the second photo down.
Do you still have that...What are it's measurements...and how much are you asking for it.
AND DO YOU SHIP ?

MOST SINCERELY<

The photos are wonderful. I love it all. I guess there's a thing about Christmas decorating, you have to move everything to get it all in. Then the scrubbing thing. I did that last week too! Have a wonderful Christmas. Susan & Andy

Theresa, I could sit here all day and stare at these. I'm not kidding! Your home exudes warmth and beauty. I love a house with soul and you're definitly has that.

Hey thanks for the support on the hair thing. I didn't chop it. She just gave me a little shape, barely taking off any length. It's still short, just not as short as the pic on my sidebar.
I did not know you were a hair stylist!
hugs

I love rearranging my treasures. If I can't go shopping for antiques, it's the next best thing and I realize how much great stuff you I have already got! I am wondering where you got the old grate cover with the white paint? I used to have one of those but sold it! I am coveting your little alabaster birds, by the way! Great, fun post and lovely photos!

My Grama's Soul said...

Beautiful photos! I love your color combinations.

Cheers,

Hello Theresa! I'm so glad you found my blog too! All of coincidences are too much to ignore! I have followed your blog for a long time but that was before I had a blog and I didn't really 'get' the following system and so you have been added to my favorites for forever! Now I can officially become a follower and not a 'lurker'... I have been going through all of my favs and adding them to my blog list, consider yourself added! You have a wonderful blog, love it ~ Theresa

Love seeing all your changes!

Rose ~Victorian Rose ~ said...

Theresa, you said...."And I've been sorting through some of my things to sell! "
And that lead me to post the question about the shelf on your wall.
If I misunderstood about your selling some of these things in the pictures, please let me know.

I will check back here.

Hugs to you,

Rose

Isn't it great shopping in your own treasures!!! You put a bag away & forget about it until you're looking for something else....and voila...it's new again...LOL

Love all your pix :)
Joyeux Noel!

WIZARD OF ONCE WAS "WooW" said...

I love this look you are creating! Some people don't believe that white can be warm...just look at what warmth you have created with your whites...I'm loving it. Funny, I always get the urge to move things around right before I put up my tree for Christmas and then I have to rearrange again to accomodate the tree...crazy! Hope you had a great week end
