Rooster Decor

One of the home decor items that I love to decorate with is roosters. Whenever I see them at yard sales or thrift shops I make sure I snatch them up. Going through my house I realized I have a lot, big and small, from napkin holders, salt and pepper shakers, door stops,  lamps and cookie jars.

 Enjoy the show….































How many did you count? I lost track, I think there’s about 30.  I think a couple are actually chickens not roosters, but I don’t care, I love the look.

Dining Room Makeover

 Wanted to change up the dining room a bit so it flowed better with my yellow and red decor in the kitchen. I also wanted a color that would go with everything, so I chose green. All colors of flowers go with green! I had wallpaper up and it was in good condition so I just wallpapered over it. I found this beautiful green and cream wallpaper from Sherwin Williams


I painted the wainscoting dark green and added green curtains; sewed some yellow and red pillow covers and recovered the window seat in green




So much fun changing things up and everything got cleaned!




I had almost everything, just had to add some yellow and of course some bling! 



I got this chandelier for $15 off Facebook marketplace!!

So happy with the way it turned out!

Christmas Home Tour - 2020 - Bedroom

 This is my bedroom. It's small but cozy.  The walls are dark green and the curtains are maroon. I want to paint the walls but the thought of having to move everything stops me, maybe someday. I have to say I don't like the way my pictures turned out because the lighting is so bad.  But here it is...

An antique iron bed is adorned with greenery on the head and footboard...


Lots of fluffy pillows, the Merry Christmas pillow is made from a placemat...



a black  painted tray holds a Christmas tea pot, cup and towel....


Every room should have a chandelier. This one I found at my local Habitat for Humanity store, 
they have great deals and they do wonderful work in the community...


          Two small wreaths hang on the curtain rod between the windows...


Well, that's my home. All decorated for the Christmas holiday. I hope you have all enjoyed seeing it and maybe it inspired you to decorate your home. As you can see, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Make your home something you enjoy being in and have a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas Home Tour 2020 - Bathroom

 This past year I changed up my bathroom and I'm so glad I did. If I could give any advice about decorating it would be to keep the main pieces of your room neutral colors: walls, carpet, sofa, rugs etc; that way when you want to change it all you have to change are the small things like pillows or curtains. I used to have to do my bathroom pink for Christmas ( which was pretty) but now because I painted my walls white any color will work. All I had to do was take away the yellow accents I had and replace it with Christmas colors - this year red, black and white. I love the way it looks.

I added a piece of black and white buffalo check fabric on this small shelf above the toilet, a snowman from a yard sale - I changed his scarf to match, and a black and white bowl full of red bells ...

                                        Candy cane soap and lotion set from Home Goods...


                                                      vintage Christmas hankies- I love, 
                        an old candle and the snowman holds a bowl of snowballs  cotton balls...


                   It's fun to have a reason to create, so all the florals I did this year just for this space. 
                                             A small white pitcher with poinsettias for the sink...


                                                                 A wreath for the wall...


                                           a vase sits on the floor under the magazine rack...


                                               and an arrangement on the back of the door...


                My towels are red so I just layered some Christmas hand towels and hankies on top...


and searching for wall accessories is fun, of course my favorite places to shop are thrift stores...




                             I printed some Christmas pictures from the library to put in frames...


                                   vintage ones for the frames hanging next to the mirror...





                     a friend helped me hang a chandelier this year, I love the sparkle it adds...


                                  my bathroom may be small but I love the way it looks...


                                             One more room to share next time....
