This flag is very largeand hanging over a bookcase -it is one of the remains
of my son's decor- so when you see blue touches
in this room they will be removed soon .
As you can see I wasn't kidding about the jumble ,
The blue is a draped table - left over from my son's
decor- It really looked great the blue , red and khaki.

I found this print at Hobby Lobby and fell in love with
the print and frame and of course I had a 40%
coupon from online -- It works well with the curtains
I bought at a Shabbychic consignment shoppe
for $45-- amazing , As my home is a turn of the century
victorian , the windows are huge and every drape
idea takes a lot of material-

The toile I loved and found at one of those $7
fabric stores the background is a creamyyellow-
It was just a remnant -not sure where I will use it .

This is a close up of the curtains . When i looked the
selvedge (?) edge said Laura Ashley - wow
I was so excited .

Months later ( this is the truth - sounds like a fairy tale )
I found this topper - valence-at an antique shop ) It was
50 miles from where I bought the first - and has a sewn on border
of a contrasting fabric I love ( Laura Ashley also )
and some flowers have the golden tan look which I
think looks good with Khaki --Note*- this house has 10 foot ceilings
so paint is always expensive also and i decided to keep the paint- so God blessed me and
I got a deal that I think will look good -

I am a sucker for footstools - especially
needlepoint ones -- I have them in everyroom
- well you see I am vertically challenged at
5 ft tall - so my feet don't touch when i
sit in most chairs , -- thereby the footstool
is usually at my fav chair in each room . -

Found this beautiful flower - sort of velvety
and the creamy roses are a great contrast.
This pillow has to fit somewhere -- I LUV !!
IT !!-- One of my fav collectibles are Cherubs -
bought it for $12 at a flea market --

and i love the checked shade -- not sure where i will use it ,
toleware trays are my weakness -- and black backgrounds
are all that I collect . I have several in my dining room .
T his sweet angel is one of my favorites -
found at a flea market -for $5- she is reading
which has been one of my favorite pastimes
since i was a little girl -- I have another one
a smaller angel that is reading also --tho different with a green patina
Purchased it at my favorite Charleston S>C>
antique store .
with the green in the leaves of the
curtain material , I think -- They were a steal at
$35 -- I had to put on my glasses to be sure the price
i thought was correct . Was almost clapping my hands lol !
( BY the way not sure how true my pics are showing the colors to you
, still working on my photo skills )
but * the fabric background is black -- I also have a metal
shelf red bought from Hobby Lobby.to add the pop of red
The thing I have not worked out in my head is
the color of the bedspread -- remember I am looking for a daybead
black metal or wood -- rubbed off -- country french look -
ok any ideas -- was thinking of black ticking maybe ?? yikes scared here -
-- Have a collection of paper white pillows to toss on the bed - will be adding a chair
also even buffalo checks on pillows mixed with the solids
WHATT DA YA THINK ???
