I have been making a few changes in
our library/dining room. I think I mentioned
that I was making over some curtains that
I love from the thrift shop.They were really
wide so I cut them into smaller panels for
our windows.I also, moved the antique desk
to this window as well.The toile lamp is a
perfect match with the curtains.
I found these beautiful french toile pillows as well.
This little cabinet/dresser was just moved from
the other side where the desk was ~it gives a little
more space for the chairs..
After all that moving and sewing
it is time for tea!
I am still tweaking this room as the
mantel isn't working for me and I
need to tidy my bookshelves a little.
Also, it is due for a paint job soon.
We use this small round table for a
romantic dinner with the wood fireplace
crackling but when we have our family
dinners this small table is replaced with
It was such a beautiful sunny winter dayhere today with just a perfect amount of
sparkly white snow ~ quite a change from last
winter when it seemed to snow everyday.
Well,that's it for my French Country touches so far
but I will show you the finished project later.
Thanks for visiting!
Carolyn
