"Glimpses" of My Sweet Little House....

I am a true believer in having at least one bouquet of "fresh flowers" in your home!....These are some gorgeous "stock" I pick up each week at the farmer's market! I am addicted to this amazing color!!!! For some time now, I have been posting photos of lovely rooms & homes from some of my favorite magazines like "Country Living & House Beautiful".....which I will certainly continue to do. However, since we began renting this house, I am feeling more & more like posting what I'm doing here in my own home!.....I have been very busy trying to arrange, decorate... & make the tiny rooms in this house come alive with an old-fashioned "prettiness"!... So here are a few "glimpses" of my sweet little house!....

Our "living room".....I decided to use my "quilts" as the artwork in many of our rooms!....I love the graphic design & think it makes the perfect backdrop to my leopard velvet sofas & toile pillows!.....

Even in this tiny house I squeezed in this chest of drawers, which here in my kitchen serves as the perfect "sideboard".....an ideal spot to dress up with antique crocks, glass cake plates & domes, along with a huge bunch of hydrangeas!.....I have the drawers filled with candles, linens, my Kitchen-Aid mixer & recipes!......Today the cookie jars are partially filled,... & once in a while, a cake or two may be tucked under the domes!.....

A little peek at my side of the bed!....We ended up selling our huge bed...couldn't fit it in this tiny room!....So now an "old quilt", I picked up at Brimfield serves as our headboard! ...and there is so little room, that a pair of Walmart T.V. trays serve as our "nightstands"!!!....They fit perfectly & actually are quite efficient!...and the best thing is each tray was only $8!!

And one more photo of our bedroom......the quilt is very old, so it prefers to hang a bit crooked (which I find charming!), soft denim pillow shams, our beautiful blue/white "Double Irish Chain" quilt.... & another Brimfield find, an old grain sack that I stuffed to make this large pillow! An itty-bitty room, but one we find "cozy & inviting" & delightful to retreat to each evening!.....
