This is the last post showing how I decorated the family room in a Travel theme for the summer......I am finally finished! |
I raided H's collection of cars and borrowed his Chevy lamp for my travel decor. I decided I didn't want to use his yellow and white Chevy on the end table, and later moved it to...... |
The mantel! Don't you like it better here? When I was a Senior in High School, I drove a white Chevy like the one on the right......I thought I looked pretty cool back then....lol! |
I replaced the white and yellow Chevy with this SS, but later decided I didn't like it either and put it away. I finally decided that I liked the lamp just by itself. |
H bought this lamp at a yard sale many years ago...... |
I embellished the shade a little! |
This is H's chair. I have two end tables pushed together because he need's lots of room for all his "stuff" |
You can also "See the USA" driving a pink Caddy! |
I covered a pillow with the same fabric that I used on the coffee table for H to put behind his back and a Believe pillow for behind his neck. |
Now for a tour around the family room. If you missed my post on the mantel, here is a link to it (it won't have the cars because I just added them this morning)......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/04/maps-on-mantel.html |
If you missed my post on the Train decor in the TV armoire, here is a link to it.......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/05/traveling-by-train-vignette.html |
If you missed the post I did about the vignette on the piano, here is a link to it......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/04/travel-themed-decor-in-family-room.html |
And if you missed my link to how I decoupaged my globe ( it won't have the car in those photo's because I just added it this morning) here is the link to that post.......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/04/shabby-chic-world-globe.html |
I am asked often "what do you do with all those pillows" |
I like to keep the pillows on the sofa when it's just H and I, but when we need more seating, I tuck them in the shelves on the end table like you see in the photo on the right. |
You have a great taste!! Love love love those pillows, and the window behind the sofa looks gorgeous. Happy belated birthday!!
ReplyDeleteIt is amzing how you made a travel theme fit in your decor. I have several of the large old Chevy see the usa advertising booklets with pages of the old cars. They are cool. Dinah did ad photos for my late fil when she was a brunette. I don't have any of those pics anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a light and airy and happy room! I do love your theme and it works amazingly well there. I love the canvas your daughter gave you -- and it is beautifully placed and look perfect there! ~jeanie from Marmelade Gypsy
ReplyDeleteThe pink caddy is adorable. I love the new theme of your romantic decors
ReplyDeleteHugs Alessandra
I love the pink! Looks really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow long do you leave each "theme" in place? Will it change for July 4th or will your travel theme stay up..it is so cute, but I've already told you that. Always adorable and so unique. I never fail to wonder how you do it all..it's just fascinating. I love my visits.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable. Now for some reason I want to travel!
ReplyDeleteThe whole room looks great! You make me want a travel theme.

So nice to know that there are other people who remember Dinah Shore. Loved her but preferred Loretta Young opening the door and twirling into the room and who didn't swoon when Perry Como sat on that tall stool and sang.
ReplyDeleteSo love your home! Just beautiful! hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I'll be humming with Dinah Shore the rest of the day! Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteA great decorating theme... with fun accessories and map photos.

First off I have to tell you I love the globe. You brought back so many memories by the title. The Dinah Shore show was a must see tv show back in the day. The travel vignette is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're ready to "hit the road". Sounds like fun! Thanks for sharing at Dishing It & Digging It! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteI loved the romantic, homey feel of your room. I LOVE pink roses and collect old plates, tins, pictures, etc. Most is stored in boxes waiting for a wave of creativity like you have shown. Great to incorporate H's hobby into your decor.
ReplyDeleteHow cute Penny! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteI love your use of the vintage cars on the mantel with the silhouette of the USA. The fabric is lovely. It all came together so beautifully. Thank you for sharing at the Snickerdoodle Create~Bake~Make link party!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday! Love the canvas print. I really like the floral USA wooden map cutout. Everything just looks so nice, too nice to live in. Looks like a dollhouse :) Thank you Penny for attending the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty. I shared your post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun theme! Now I've got that tune in my head and will be humming it for a long time. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and fun with the cars and travel theme! Thank you for sharing at Ravenwould.
ReplyDeleteI love the lovely touches in your rooms Penny
