Faux Chandelier for the Lanai







I have a thing for lampshades.

Just cannot toss one if it's got good bones.

Happy is the day when one gets refabbed and used again...like this one:

Replacement Cabinet

Once upon a time a family bought a house.

A house that had good bones but needed updating.

A house that hadn't been touched since the early 80's.

This family had mixed opinions.

Momma said "It'll be fun to redo it to just our style."

Daddy said "We're gonna be broke, kids."

Momma said "Nonsense, we'll be done in two years flat."

Daddy said "We're gonna be broke for a long time, kids."

Well...

Live With What You Love

For the longest time we had "placemats of the month" on our table.

Custom made just for us.

Cute as pie.

But....it got boring after a couple years.

Time to change it up.

To date, the most recent addition to the table top is this runner:

Gifted Sofa Table

Last week a precious friend of mine asked "Would you like this sofa table?"

Have y'all seen these beauties yet?

They're all over Etsy and Pinterest these days.

As usual, I live in my own little world and am one of the last to know...

....BUT....

My latest score was this beauty. Can y’all just hear the cat-calls?
