A little Sumpin', sumpin'.....

I've been doing a bit of tweaking in our living room lately.

and I've really been having fun with it.  This is a room

that I haven't done a whole lot too thru the years.  I've only 

painted it twice in the 14 years we've lived here.  We've used 

it mainly for Christmas time.  Until now!

Now, these past few Snowy weeks, of not being able to 

~Go Anywhere!~

because of the weather, I've been updating and rearranging.

I have a "bird" theme going on in this room.

I love my birds!

We also love this antique secretary and have had 

it for Years!  This will be a piece that will never 

see a paint brush.  It is a very heavy piece and has

never been moved from this site since the day we

moved in almost 14 yrs ago.

I have 2 or 3 more shelves in our basement.

~I think!~

But, I only have 3 of these wooden brackets that hold the shelves

in place.  So I am waiting for my guy to make more.

Tick Toc....I am very patient!

So I came up with an idea for the back of this to update it a bit.

At our local big box store they have a section of pre packaged

material and I found this printed burlap 36" x 44"....

It fit almost perfectly in the back of this cabinet.

I had the velcro and decided that would be perfect

to hold it in place.  Then if I get tired of it I can 

simply remove it with no problem.

We have been adding to our white dishware

and I thought what a perfect spot for some of 

the random pieces.

My Mom cross stitched this Heart sampler for

 me years ago.  My initials are in the center 

and I've always kept it in here.  It's perfect for

Valentines Day, but I may move it after that.

It looks like it's competing with the burlap.

Don't you think?

This little pitcher just goes with my bird theme.

I saw it last week at our local Thrift store and it was

a whopping $1.99.  I thought that was too much!

It's small!  But, I went there on Tuesday of this week

and it was in the .10 cent section.  So it came home with me!

So this is the before....not bad!

And this is the after!

Can you see what's missing?

I thought I had everything back in like before....

until I started doing this post....

Oh well, too late to take another picture!

I'm sure you've all done that before!

Thanks for your visit!
