A Blast From The Past

Thanks to Marty at

"A Stroll Thru Life"

for hosting today's event.

If you saw my post yesterday, you saw my 80's

fifty cent lamps, given a little style!

So here they are on my bedroom tables!

The vase was also a yard sale find and I also

added another of my starfish desert plates.

An old carpenters chest that I have on a stand

for one of my other night stands. I also added

the other matching yard sale vase.

This was such a fun project.

Thanks for visiting.

Bye For Now,

Fifty Cent Lamps

I hope you will join me at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

for Metamorphosis Monday.

Well tonight you get to see a real blast from the

past!!!

Does anyone remember this lovely blue that

was the rage of the 80's?

Remember the decor from the Golden Girls?

These two old girls were found at a garage sale

more than a year ago. I have had a vision of a

tropical, beach bedroom and master bath for

quiet sometime, but always start another project

before I get to the master bedroom. I already have

two wonderful round white ottomans in my

bedroom and wanted to add more white to the room.

White in my bedroom just says rest and relaxation,

at least to me!

This was the weekend!!

So here is one of the old girls in all her blueness!!

Well for .50, what do I have to loose?

I sprayed the entire lamp with brushed metal

spray paint, then a light coat of white over that.

The lamps came with oval shades which were very

discolored and dingy looking, so I pulled out the

fabric stash and added a little pure white cotton

fabric to the shades. The fringe came from a

white valance I had, so I added that to the bottom.

A little shell hanging from a piece of rope and

I now have a little nautical going in the bedroom.

So join me tomorrow for Tabletop Tuesday

and I will show you the old girls all decked out.

Thanks for visiting!!!

Bye For Now,

Container Gardening

Join me at

"Tootsie Time"

for Fertilizer Friday.

I decided this summer I would

do several containers for the deck,

to add a little color and interest to that

space.

My red hibiscus, this a a new plant, I lost my

peach colored one last winter that I had for

several years.

My pond... Sweet potato vine

Asparagus fern

I have several different plants in this just for

interest.

One of my favorites, you will see

this guy allot this fall as I try to incorporate

him into my fall decorating!

Love the color of this ivy. Thanks for visiting.

Don't forget to stop in at Tootsie Time!

Bye For Now,

Old Silver

Thanks to Marty at

Just some old silver in my bathroom!

Good use for an old silver tea pot! Thanks for visiting.

Bye For Now,

Full Of Ideals

Are you a fan of southern style and decorating?

If you are, this is the book for you!

My gift from Hubby last weekend! Of course I

went through the whole book the first day, started

picking out my favorite ideals, and have started the

book again!

A little peak at some of the ideals.

The book has been broken down into seasons and has

wonderful suggestions and hints on how to

achieve each look.

Sorry for the bad photography!

Don't you love the pumpkins going up that beautiful

staircase?

Makes you want to decorate for fall. This room makes you want to sit and put your feet up.

Look at all the pattern and color!

A wonderful southern garden.

Ready to eat? I am!!!!

I could live here!

Another good read and some great ideals!

White spray paint!
