Thrift Store Inspiration

Hi everyone! A few months ago I found this red ticking bedskirt at Goodwill. It was at about the same time that I decided that I didn’t really like my Blue Toile Room! I don’t know what it is but, I love seeing blue and white in other people’s homes. LOVE IT! Tried to do it in my home and never really liked it that much. Same with those rooms that are just shades of white. Love them, ... Read More about Thrift Store Inspiration

It’s really the only time we can go out ... Read More about A Simple Pleasure

Dining Room Collections Continued

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you my wall of trays now that I’ve hung the newest ones. These are the two new trays. The smaller tray I showed you before but now it’s on the wall with all the others. I've grouped the three trays that have Blue Willow in them. I’ve gotten all of these trays thrifting with the exception of that smaller one which I won on ebay. People always ask ...
