Most Wonderful time of the Year....part II

HOME....cozy, warm and safe~I love being HOME, especially during the Holidays.

the foyer is very "eclectic" metallic mixed with rustic

Dinning room~mostly rustic and earthy the windows overlook the woods and lake~I  don't  have window treatments in this room-the view is too beautiful!
Doesn't everything looks amazing in a jar?


couldn't part with my gorgeous bittersweet (that I  spied growing in the ditch on my way home on day)~but I think it works?Orange can't just be for Halloween.







I drooled over this cabinet a few months ago at an occasional sale nearby...when I went back this month it was still there-yipee~now its mine! Can't wait for my kitchen make-over, fresh-up coming SOON!
Tons of space for display~work in progress~ideas are spinning! I'm always looking for space to stash my BlackEyed Susan Shop inventory....(cute Egg Nog set still in stock!)

adorable tin that I found at a local occasional sale, love using old tins for fresh bouquets,,,I just love picking up flowers at Trader Joes and arranging them in unique containers.
a touch of whimsey!
this is a very special luminary~the cute kid walking his cow, in his speedo, is my daddy~who is now looking down on me from heaven, he could see the beauty is everything, loved "junking" with him!
I made this picture for our holiday Le Garage Girls sale, but was actually pretty happy when it didn't sell~color works PERFECT for our family room- It's a project that I pinned and actually made!


This little tree holds all the boys favorites that we have collected throughout the years,  even as teens the still fight over who gets to put the snowboarding santa on the tree....used a tartan plaid cooler for the base (what a great junk find that is-still works great for summer picnics!)
  Stay safe this Holiday Season, take time to be home, and just BE. Cherish your family ~ Susan

I grew up in a big farmhouse alongside a creek and sparkling pond, I have so many wonderful memories, but one of the very best is when my dad surprised me with my very own red playhouse, complete with a dutch door and window boxes, I would spend my days making it beautiful, picking fresh flowers, rearranging furniture, and "shopping" around the farm for new pieces.... I am forever CHASING JUNK~Obsessed with decorating and making everything around me beautiful. I am a wife, mother, sister, friend, and PICKER. I love to shop at estate and garage sales, flea markets and auctions~hunting for funky, whimsical and unique treasures. I love mixing and old and new, junky and fancy to make fresh fun new pieces. Beautifully decorated homes or the most pulled together looks are ones with a mix of old and new-collected over time. I love the idea for re-using, and re-purposing-being creative and thinking outside the box!
