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.


Before.....................................................................................After

I added a lace screen to the front of the fireplace for a change.    I borrowed it from the fireplace in the master bedroom,   so it is just a temporary change.     


H painted the frames on each side of the fireplace a soft white.


Yes,    I have pumpkin pics in the frames. 
  I've seen so much fall stuff in the stores that I was in the mood for pumpkins today!     I can easily change them when my mood changes.....lol!


Before..........................................................After


Here's the other side of the fireplace........



More white pumpkins........


Before ..............................................................After


I styled the piano top just the other day and when I edited the photo's I wasn't really happy with the look.


Before....too much grey,  no pink                                        After....pink pick up and pink tractor added for some color


I was tired of the centerpiece I had on the coffee table   so I sent it to the studio for a while.     You'll see it again! 

 I didn't put a new centerpiece on the coffee table because I needed a place to put some snacks out for company tonight.   I'll create a new centerpiece next week for it.


I did add a simple floral design to the tobacco basket under the coffee table.

My design is just a bush of roses tucked into a metal bucket.


Til next time........

  3. Where did you find the Old Farmers Market enamel trough? I would like to go looking for one.
    I check into your feed often, but don't usually comment. But I do have a question. Where do you find most of your decor? I don't get out much anymore so most of mine is from online shopping. I used to be a big fan (and still am) vintage markets. There is only one in my area this summer and not until the end of August.
