"A STYLE OF HER OWN "

I wanted to share a few pics of my precious
daughter's home -- She has such a sense of style ,
and always finds great things at bargain prices .
Of course she is a natural leader and can
bargain with the best of them .



Thse blue transferware platesd are some of my faves
-but this cabinet makes me drool- She bought the cabinet ,
a matching buffet and table and chairs for a song .


The detail is amazing and so french -oh la la -I love
it . The chair next to it -is perfect - I love the red chippy paint -
It is one of my favorite things in her home .



This very old pitcher -resides in the kitchen . the inside
truly tells it's age - sorry no pic of that




Her kitchen is a raspberry color -- She defininately
isn't afraid of color. She has quite a collection
of wonderful plates -- This is my favorite
-I think lol .





She found this sweet little shelf - painted it shabby green
and it resides on her counter with sweet collectibles .
The little round wooden box is her aspecial prize
to her ♥ . Her Dad turned it - it is a wish box --
She likes to have it near -- she truly loves him -
They like the same books -etc and both have
a quick wit . they are always making me laugh.






OK -- I will say it now -- not supposed to envy anyone
or covet -- especially family -- but this welsh cabinet in
her kitchen does me in . _She bought it and immediately
filled it with wonderful goodies.
Like these sweet collections below

She collects many different things - as do I

guess I passed on the addiction .

My family lived during the depression
with that make do attitude .
So years later , it was out with all the

old and on to the newly manufactured .
My Mom didn't like any antiques nor
did her siblings , so alas all my antiques
are ones I have collected -none were passed

down - so therby I had to do it -- RIGHT !!!
(do I have to mention collection addiction lol )

I love the details on the doors , of course the knobs

were new , and seems to fit the look perfectly
to me . I love period details ,but not a stickler .
If it suits my eye that's all that's all that matters.

Her collection of plates goes around the soffit in the kitchen
( impressed with that soffit - info ? LOL ) hub

has been a builder for 42 yrs -- I amaze myself sometimes that

I know builder lingo lol !!!

She also collects tole trays -- which have been

one of my fav collectibles . I only
collect those with a black background

Some bargains can still be found, but not many
I started many years ago , before all the

mags had them in most issues . In fact
they were really a country item . I have the

first issue of "Country Homes " magazine ,

It is packed away somewhere , so can't

remember the date - but we have lived

here in our current home for 30 yrs and it was before that ,

anyway they were popular then and could be

seen in those mags --
Hope you enjoyed the mini-tour . I will
post others at a later date -- The grandkids ,

rooms are adorable also (ahem , I painted some of the items there

lol -- will tell a crazy story about victoria's secret paper -

glue and a crazy idea --yikes makes me tired to think of it .

Have a great day !!! Kathy
