Flaunt Your Red Decor!

By Manuela Williams

Stacey at Poofing the Pillows is hosting this months Flaunt Your Red party! I love red! It’s really my favorite color so I’m always happy to participate.

red toile demitasse cups

I’ve been on the look out for more of these little Avon demitasse cups. They’re so perfect for displaying some little hydrangea heads from my garden. I love that the pattern looks like toile. You know I love toile, particularly red toile!

These are candlesticks I got at the thriftstore and I painted them my favorite color…red!

This is a toile pillow cover I found in my closet! I totally forgot I had two of these. They were mixed in with some vintage tablecloths and I found them while organizing those. I don’t think I’ve ever even used them before! Good things happen when you clean~smile!

Thanks for stopping by to see me Flaunt My Red and be sure to come back Monday to have a look at my screened porch. I’m having lots of fun getting it ready for the summer! Have a great weekend everyone!

  15. Lady Katherine says

    May 29, 2009 at 3:33 pm

    Now how fun was that! Finding the toile pillow case was like finding $100.00 in your washed pants pocket. Or Less money. Its always exciting to find things we love and have forgotten about! Love the welcome home sign with the red candle holders.

Flaunt Your Red!

By Manuela Williams

Nancy at Southern Lady is having a Flaunt Your Red party and since I love red and have so many red items in my home I’m thrilled to participate! Above is a vintage sconce I have in my living room with some red crystals. I used to change out the crystals for different seasons but now I just keep them red.

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links to Amazon and/or Etsy, which means that I may earn a small commission from some of the links in this post. Please see our Disclosure Page for more information.

I just found this red rooster plate and a bowl at Goodwill. I wish they had more than those two pieces!

These vintage red plaid tins are on top of one of my bookcases.

My favorite – red transferware!

I use lots of red material in my home, mostly toile but also some gingham. This is the top of a little curtain I made to hide what I store in this small buffet. The bottom of the curtain in black gingham which doesn’t photograph well (it’s all wavyish).

We’re ending kind of backwards since this is my red front door and my favorite red rose.

Flaunt your Red Party

Be sure to check out the other Flaunt Your Red participants! Thank you Nancy for hosting such a fun party!

Just a reminder – the winner of the $100 Home Depot Gift card will be chosen randomly Saturday morning. You have until Friday at Midnight PST to enter.

I am very excited, Hubby bought me an oil painting and I just love it! But the most excitement!!! I getting to buy 6 sheep tomorrow! Please rain stay away until I can bring them home! lol I am so happy! I miss my sheep! I use to have 100+ sheep and angora goats! Lots of spinning,weaving, and felting! lol I am bubbling over with excitement! Going to keep my mind off visiting Doc, Tues May 5 to plan surgery.( I have gone backward with strength and movement, since my accident. I so hoping he will give me a little time more so I want had the bad bad ole surgery! lol We were going to wait until after this year of surgeries, but I got a great deal on them and they are registered! I just can’t wait! We would have picked them up today, but Hubby’s first crop of crawfish came in and he sold out in no time! With orders for next week. Yeah! More pond may be in our future! Missed talking to you on a run, making shelves for new dishes and I have my children and grands still here. But I am ready for Bed, Hubby has already gone. My its late, I’ll stop by soon and catch up on your posts.
