Entry Way Refresh


I cleaned house all morning so while the barbies,dog toys, pillow pets, shoes and Disney DVD cases aren't scattered around the place I snapped a few pics.  I used this entry table to display my "Christmas in July" projects for a photo shoot yesterday. You'll be able to see what I made July 27th.

 It was a hot mess this morning so I figured what the heck...I'll change it up a little and do a post about it.


 I found this old metal (drink caddy?) recently at Homestead in Hico,TX. If you have never been there and you live in TX. GO! It's awesome!!! Anyhow, I put some old postcards in it. 




Don't you think the backs of antique postcards are just as beautiful and interesting as the fronts?









So glad you came to take a look. Have a wonderful, lovely, fantastic day!

    I love the postcards in the repurposed drink tray. It works well with the white pitchers, windows and basket of pillows. Was surprised your kitchen cabinets were black. I thought they would be white since you have a lot of whites in your decor!

    I think that's why I never photograph my house - I'd have to clean it :). Love that you use your Jadeite.

    Thanks for sharing your home with us. I love home tours. One day I might even get around to it as well. I too am plant challenged. Some of them just commit suicide when they see me coming!

    Hey Linsey!
    I love the shade of green you use. My house is full of greens and blues- must have it!
    You've been having fun on your trips!

    it looks just great! love the collection of ironstone pitchers! And those vintage postcards are wonderful! I love how handwriting was so pretty in older days....now they don't even teach it in school anymore. I remember the Palmer Handwriting books!

    Gorgeous home! I used to collect postcards when I was a child. I had aunts and uncles from all over the world send me their old postcards and my collection was quite amazing.

    Then I went away to college and left my collection at home. My mother decided to clean house and threw out my brother's stamp collection. When he found up and was upset, she steamed all the stamps off my postcard collection to give to him and chucked out my postcards... sigh. Moral of the story is never leave anything behind!!! lol

    It looks like it never gets dirty :) Don't they all in blogland? I love that dust doesn't show up in my photos (unless it's been there a really long, long time)! Thanks for sharing your home. I, too, love home tours--they inspire us all!
