Making it all a little more country.....











Happy Saturday Evening everyone.. 
How are you all today? 

This week has flown by and another weekend has rolled around .. 
We had a lovely evening with our company last night.. 
I did not take many pics but will share them with you next week.. 

For tonight I am just showing some changes that I have slowly been managing to do in the dining-living-sun rooms... 

As you recall I posted these pics of before.. 
HERE 
 and shared with you that I wanted to make the room more country and primitive.. 

Although, we probably won't get the floor done for a bit nor the painting I have changed it enough to make me happy.. 
happier... you know ... compromised... 
And that is a good thing.. 

I will putter away and add and subtract as the Winter goes on.. 
Terry thinks we need a new counter top and such before we start on that project but that is fine.. 

I love the new fireplace mantel and a few of the added touches.. 

I took the carriage to the farm but will sell it in the shop this Summer.. I hope.. smile. 
The border and lace is all gone and more homespun and less frilly stuff.. 

Shall we say it is a nice change.. 
I moved the old chair in here.. (sun room)

I can't bear to part with it as my Mom gave it to me for my 40 th birthday.. a long time ago... 

I guess that is all for tonight... 
Tomorrow is the Lord's Day and I have a few chores to do.. 

Our oldest son and family are coming for dinner after church so have to do a bit of food prep.. 

Thanks so much for your visit.. 
So happy to have you dear new followers..

Take care and enjoy your families.. 

God bless...

  7. I like the changes you've made Faye. Love the old sewing machine set up at the end of the love seat and the teapot and biscuit jar (?) on the coffee table. The old fireplace is beautiful. Your living room is nice and bright with the wall of doors/windows. Have a wonderful Lord's Day. Blessings, Pamela

  14. Sweetie, That is coming together nicely and looking much more quaint and prim. I am alwways workimg on mine and changing things....it is fun!I really like your new valances and the old sewing machine is a gem and makes a great sewing display, The carding is marvelous and are those some heats you have made.? Getting prim, Faye, I enjoyed seeing your major change. Of course, I love the big walking wheel like mine.No doubt about it , I think we have similar tastes. I've got Jim laid up with crutched at least until Tuesday and then we will see.

  19. Hi Faye;

    Your rooms look lovely. I like all of your special touches like the yo yos pinned around the tea pot on the table.

    I have the same picture that you have of the little girl with the big hat. It appears that yours is hanging beside a spinning wheel, mine is hanging on a half wall beside a table.

    Thanks for sharing, as usual you are inspirational.

  25. Your house looks so cozy and inviting. I hopefully will get the living painted this year. It will be an off white and then I will put up my photography work in black frames. My own gallery. That's the plan. We are out of the cold, freezing weather we've had for a week. Now it's chilly with rain, but that's Oregon for ya! Hugs and blesses week to you!
