| The weather was just gorgeous in New Mexico today! H and I spent the entire day outside working in the yard |
 |
| I worked on a vignette that is right by the front door. (H painted some park benches, trimmed trees, and a bunch of other stuff..) |
 |
| I started the vignette with a picture that my daughter gave me the other day. She was tired of it and her decorating style has went a different direction...so, lucky me! I was with her when she bought this picture at a yard sale for $3....she saw it first or I would have bought it! |
 |
| I added a wicker desk that has been in the potting shed out in the back yard. I have had this desk for years...got it at a yard sale for $2. I try to move things each season so they seem new to me! My motto is "don't buy new...redo!" |
 |
| The last time you saw this vintage hanging oil lamp, it had a Halloween owl in it.....and it was in the entryway.. Don't you love the "hanger" for the welcome sign? My own creation...made from baling wire! |
 |
| I put a French table runner on the desk and added an architectural piece....perfect for a bird and nest. |
 |
| Under the desk, is a vintage marble top table. I have displayed a concrete frog that belonged to my grandmother. I love that frog!!! |
 |
| You may remember this candelabra thingy that I had on the coffee table last summer. The plant in it is from Saint Pattys day...it has really grown! |
 |
| I don't buy a lot of new stuff each season..I try to use what I already have in a different way! That angel on the right is now over the rose picture.... |
 |
| This is the cherub plaque that I bought on Saturday for 2.50 ...it is now painted |
 |
| and is part of the new vignette! |
 |
| I couldn't seem to take a picture without getting my reflection in the door. (still in my old painting clothes!) I did a simple welcome vignette on the other side of the front door. |
 |
| cute duck couple... |
 |
| and their babies! |

Penny,
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely vignette to greet visitors to your spectacular home!!
I Love everything!! LOL!! I wish I had a roof over my front porch so that I could "play" more but with the roof being 18 feet up in the air, there is no protection from the elements. You have such a fantastic collection of all kind of things!! Every visit to your blog is such a feast for the eyes and such a joy!!
Hugs,
Deb
Just beautiful Penny... I too try to "shop at home" as much as I can and re~use things in different places... love all your little special spots to sit and relax and daydream... and your froggie that belonged to your grandma is priceless... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI love everything! I'll try to redo too!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteOoooh Penny it is so lovely! You crack me up when you say a "simple" vignette...nothing simple about it, GORGEOUS is more like it!! I love your re-do attitude, it's so true moving it, makes it new to me too!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Pendra

No, I would have grabbed that painting right out of your hands. I have a wall of florals in my entry. Your front door is so welcoming. I love the frog!
ReplyDeleteI try to move things around a bit too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful touches, each and every one. Love seeing all you have added to the mix.
ReplyDeleteLiz
Penny, my first time visiting your blog. I popped over from Timewashed and Becky's "whites" party. So glad I did! Goodness, you really did a good job shopping your house and arrangeing all your goodies. And that is quite a transformation of those cherubs. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us.
XO,
Sheila

Goodness Penny..you should write a weekly story for your local garden club with pictures!!! Amazing job...and oh wow what a lovely picture! I'd have never thought to put something so pretty out on the front porch! It works beautifully! I love that wicker desk too...and the way you placed all the sweet pieces makes it such a lovely view...people are going to come up and start staring at it and forget to ring your doorbell!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your pretty porch with us for my party!
Blessings,
Doni
Penny everything is beautiful as usual. I love the cherub plaque. Lovely vignettes. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for joining us at Transformed Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Penny, the rose picture is perfect. I love the vignette that you have created. Mixing things up and reusing what you have in different ways makes it seem new. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
