County Fair Ribbon Decor

It's Fair Week here in Eastern New Mexico and I thought it would be fun to add a little fair decor to the family room.

Week End Treasure Hunt

I normally share the treasures I found over the week end on the kitchen island where the lighting is so good to take my photo;s .......but today  I am taking  it outside!     The lighting outside  is perfect for getting great photo's and plus......the treasures are all rusty and crusty and I didn't want them on the kitchen counter.

Victorian Farmhouse Early Fall Mantel

I have all kinds of Farmhouse decor in my home........modern,  rustic, cottage,  shabby chic........so,  I figured why not add some Victorian Farmhouse into the mix! 

The Ever Evolving Hallway

 

Things are in a continual state of change around our home......lol!     Sometimes it's just a little tweak.....sometimes it's a mini makeover.....and sometimes it's a complete redo!     This time it's just a little tweak

Week End Treasure Hunt

I had to show a lot of self restraint at the yard sales this past week end!     There were so many pretty things at the sales..... it was hard to choose what was coming home with me! 

Sunflowers Steal the Show in Late Summer Mantel Decor

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers to use when I am creating a late summer floral design.

Junkfest and Penny's Junkyard

If you like junk.....you will love this post!   
There's a big Junkfest held in Lubbock Texas on the last Saturday of each month.    H and I drove over there for the July Junkfest to see if they had anything that I needed....lol.....as if I don't have enough junk of my own.   More about that later in the post.

Styling a Three Tiered Stand

Tiered stands are so easy to style!   
 Just fill the tiers with an assortment of seasonal or holiday decor and you have a centerpiece ready in the blink of an eye!    Well,   maybe not that fast......but pretty quick....lol!

It's All in the Details and the Tweeking

I have been posting some changes I made in the family room over the last few days......and now I want to share the details and tweeking I did later. 
   I nearly always see changes I want to make in the room when I'm editing the photo's  and writing up the post..    I usually don't take time to photograph the changes,   but I had some extra time today and thought it would be fun to show you what I changed.

Decorating with Tobacco Baskets

I took advantage of Hobby Lobby's 80% sale on all the remaining spring and summer decor to pick up some tobacco baskets.

Farmhouse Style Vignette

When I changed the fireplace mantel in the family room last week,    I just moved everything that was on it to the top of the piano. 
    The last time I decorated the piano was for Valentines.      When I put the Valentine decor away,     I did a very simple vignette on the piano top       There was plenty of room to stash my fireplace decor there until I had a chance to put it away.     Do you every just  set decor "somewhere" until you get a chance to put it away?

Barn Sale and Week End Treasure Hunt

Saturday,  our treasure hunt began at a barn sale in Canyon Texas.     Canyon is about 80 miles from where we live,  but a short drive......4 lane and 75 mph speed limit.  .    

Summer Tablescape

I have the family room dining table set for a small dinner party.     I used lots of blue and white to create my tablescape.....and a few touches of pink...lol!

Stop and Smell the Roses this Summer

Has anyone else noticed how fast the summer is flying by?     Things are so hectic around  here that  sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that  "today I will take time to stop and smell the roses" 

Week End Treasure Hunt

I enjoyed a very successful week end treasure hunt......plenty of yard sales to check out.
