Maggie had a wonderful time this morning on our back porch, enjoying the sun and some undivided attention. She wanted me to tell you that she loves YOU and thanks you SO much for your kind support when she was being terribly mistreated the other day. She hopes you have a WONDERFUL weekend too. ;-)
Isn't it so nice when your home is all clean and your bed is ACTUALLY made? I thought I'd share a few corners of our bedroom. This green cottagy bed tray has certainly come in handy when one of us is sick AND it is fun to decorate with as a cute-just-because cottagy display. I love my "hand" that is on top of the cabinet. My sister and brother-in-law brought that back for me from the Savannah School of Art and Design.
This old window pane was one of many given away for free from a neighbor's home. For now, I thought I'd simply tape up a few vintagy cards and hang one of my straw bags on it.
In this corner, there is just enough room for the red table -
No, there is no glamour master suite to be found here at Daisy Cottage. Just an old-fashioned bedroom, located off of the little center hall, with just enough space for a few pieces of furniture and a bed.
It is the smallest bedroom that we've ever had, but it is definitely the coziest. And, luckily for me, I do prefer cozy over lavish any day. :-)
Sigh. Maggie is not happy right now. She is upset with me. I didn't let her have her morning time on my lap. She has been SO thankful that I entered the world of blogging because her lap time has greatly increased while I am visiting your blogs and drinking my required two cups of coffee! But not this morning. You know how I am. I never know when the mood to move something will happen - I just know that it WILL happen! ;-) I can be in my pajamas, I can be all dressed up to go out, I can be headed to beddie bye. The urge to move things just happens when it happens. Unfortunately for Miss Maggie, this urge occurred as I poured my first cup of coffee. She was none too happy when I told her to go do the dreaded thing - go lay down. She was banished to THE FLOOR! Anyway, this favorite chair of mine has been moved around MORE than anything else here at Daisy Cottage. I love it in the kitchen, I love it in the family room, I love it in my office! Now how about near the front door? I think this will be fun and cozy for awhile! A nice spot to read, a nice spot to view the porch and street, and oh yes - a nice spot for holding a VERY spoiled (but so darn lovable) doxie on my lap!
*edited* to add a close up view of my little chair "embellishment" ;-)
Just for fun and a different look, I draped this yellow vintage pillow case over the back of the chair. Then I layered it with a green fabric square that I got from Hancock's. I added some whimsy by hot gluing the red trim. Quick and easy! Right up my alley! Have a great weekend!
My landscape collection is growing! As you can see, I still have space for a few more! It has been really fun to simply hang them as I bring them home, instead of keeping them waiting in a closet until I had the "right" amount. Each one of these is special and beautiful in its' own way and NONE of them cost more than $5. This office, which took on the life as a "vintage travel" room has been the easiest room to decorate. Once I knew the direction that I wanted it to go in, gathering the goods has been a blast! Vintage suitcases, hats, globes, yard sticks, walking canes... seemed to call my name and all were found in thrift shops and yard sales. I still want to find a little area rug, maybe a zebra one! Check out the funky lamp shade from Salvation Army...
I'm REALLY bad about measuring anything too - and you will note that the landscapes are not spaced evenly. The no-stress way this room has come together has been so nice. As soon as we throw "perfection" out the window we are having FUN, right? And that is what decorating should be ALL about!
