My How Things have CHanged

Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing great and keeping busy this summer. :)
I just pulled three more cucumbers this morning.
I was going through some old photos and thought I would show you a little of my decorating history.
Sometimes I look back at christmas pics, old magazines and things online and think wow!
Did I actually like that stuff? Or is it just my way of getting to where I am now? Maybe I am one of those kind of people who have to "live" through it to know if I really like it.

This one is from 1998

Notice the massive amount of Home Interiors? I had a party every month or every other month.
I can't believe that I liked brass. lol


Here we are at 2002

This was my idea of country decorating.
I can say it was much more relaxed and less stuffy.
I still have the handmade scarf that is on the table.


Today- 2009

So much better!! All the clutter is gone! The walls are in much better shape( and color)
The furniture is soft and comfy. I love kicking off my shoes and putting my feet up.
The coffee table is made from 1837 barnwood. It doesn't matter if you have your shoes on it , set a sweating glass down , or the nieces play with cars on it cause the marks add character . ;)

Got any photos of your "old" decorating style?

Good Morning!

I have been up since 4 am.
The garden is watered, deck and steps are scrubbed, cats are fed, washer is running, getting ready to mop the kitchen, need to go pay some bills and pick up some deck sealer and paint..
What are you doing today?

Plans for the 4th?

What are your plans for the July 4th weekend?




"And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the
U.S.A."

Have a happy and safe weekend everyone!!
