I decided after almost 12 weeks since my ankle issue it was time to clean and rearrange my home a little. By the way, the doctor has released me to resume normal activity on my ankle as of Tuesday!!!! Woohoo!!!! LOL Over the weekend I did the living room and dining room. Yes, I probably was not following the doctor's orders because I didn't wear my brace and was climbing on chairs to decorate. oopsie!!!! I still have a few more rooms to go but I'm pretty pleased with result. I am really trying to go simple. There are a few things I just can't help but collect as you will see in the photos. LOL. So today will be a visual post. This is just the dining room because I took things off the wall in the living room and patched the holes. I haven't sanded and repainted yet. So, down the road you will see that too.
Anyway, here is my new dining room look. It looks different than it will appear in Country Sampler this fall. Did I tell you that was confirmed last week? If I did I apologize. My mind is bouncing everywhere anymore.
OK OK I will quit talking and start posting.... Have a great day!!!!
The gourds in the bowl were ones I left outside all winter and just brought in to clean once they were nice and dry.
My dark secret... there is extra decorating stuff behind the closed door. LOL
Ignore the stuff on the floor I'm trying to sell it and have no where to go with it right now.
I love gourds... Can you tell?
I finally hung the corner shelf I bought before I broke my ankle. LOL
Another obsession... brown jugs and crocks....
Hi Mary!
ReplyDeleteHappy your ankle is doing well.
Love your simpler look. Your decorating skills are great!
Love the gourd collection...do you grow your own? We live in a townhouse apt. and I tried growing gourds one year and they practically took over the whole complex!! Lol
