The question is not do I frame artwork, but do I put artwork in the frame. That might seem like a strange question to most, but to you, I know it will sound normal. (At that’s why I tell you what I’m doing and not my next-door neighbor.) When I found these on eBay, I […]
Round Top Round Up
Round Top was especially fun for me this time, since I missed it in the spring. I had sprained my ankle the weekend before when we had our pasture picnic at the ranch, so that show was a no-go for me. My friend Caroline went with me this time. We got lots of goodies, that […]
Antique Iron Bed
I was looking on Craigslist minding my own business, when I found an antique iron bed for $60. Okay, so maybe I didn’t NEED a new-to-me antique iron bed, but this one was really cute and believe it or not, I had a place for it — on my back porch. Some of you are […]
Favorite Little Things
I have some adorable little things that get lost when I do a blog post on the room, so I thought I would highlight here. This adorable little clay angel bell is from my friend Peggy, click here. We were at the Round Top Antique Show and she knew that I liked it. One of […]

It’s a chair, but not really. It belongs in a bathroom, but not really. Okay, it’s an antique potty chair. There’s a […]
Old White + Old Table = Fresh Look
It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to transform a piece of furniture. But I must give a warning here. If you are one of the readers that cringe when I paint a really old piece of furniture, avert your eyes, NOW. The table and rocking chair are both from the […]
Frenchy Guest Room Makeover
You might have seen pictures of my guest room before, but I have a few more things to show ya. And here is what it looked like a month ago. The black French bombay chest (that I purchased new a few years ago) has been replaced with the antique pine dresser from the auction (click here.) I […]
Back Porch Living and an Antique Trunk
“Oops, I did it again.” I am not sure what Britney was talkin’ about, but I’m talking about buying something for my back porch. It needed something. I didn’t even know what it needed until I went to the resale shop and found this. In case you are wondering, “this” is the black trunk. It’s just so perfect, […]
