More Farmhouse Photos ~

Hello!
here are
some more pics of the farmhouse
in progress...
here is a shot of our den
(which was our dining room)
it is still in transition,
as I want to repaint it and take the border down...

looking from the kitchen doorway ~



this beautiful mirror/planter
was a gift from my sister Sharon,
her hubby Roy made it one for all of us girls one Christmas...
I change it out every season, and have probably painted it
a hundred times...




next to that, is my wall of instant relatives...
simply pinned to the wall with antique hat pins...
I love the look!


below is my prized cabinte that I got from Felicia...
it is chippy green and perfect for the television and stereo equipment

here is a sweet vintage runner that I found in an old hat box...
it has a kitten in a basket...perfect for a kitty-lover like me~

...this is our breakfast nook....
again, it is in transition because I want to paint the walls
~~~~~~~~

I love my blue cupboard
and am slowly filling it with china plates...
I bought this uber-cool wire plant stand at
Vintage on Main
a neat little shop in town...


..and these two sweet little souls are
Barbara & Sylvester...
they live in the sunny window in the breakfast nook
and sing & play all day long ~

I will continue the tour with the kitchen and the pantry this weekend!

Blessings from the farm,
~ Lori ~
