Thank you again for all of the farmhouse love ~
Dennis and I both are just about to bust to live in this old beauty....
Dennis and I both are just about to bust to live in this old beauty....
I'm still working on the interior and here is our first beautiful addition:
Look at this five dollar chandelier that Dennis found at a yard sale and brought home
to me several years ago as a gift!!!
What's so nuts is we needed a medallion
to cover up a little missing ceiling paint, right?
It cost us 28.00!!!!!
Oh well, what I do is combine the prices and consider the beauty ~
STILL a wonderful bargain for the reward, RIGHT?
I've added this post to Joy of Savvy City Farmer's
Show Me Your Chandy post!!!

I love your chandy!
I'm about to order one for our new cottage, I haven't had ANY luck finding a cheap one, alas.
Can't wait to see what else you do with the place next!
The chandelier looks awesome, dear Dawn and it had been certainly an amazing bargain!
Have a great weekend and lots of fun playing in your new home :-)!
Big hugs,
Julia
Dawn, I'm so excited you are joining in tonight! First of all the chandy is just stunning, can't wait to see the rest of the room. And this book is new to me, I'm going to track it down, thanks so much for sharing it with us. Anne and I were just talking tonight about your new house and how wonderful it was that you have this opportunity. You are starting from the ground up in decor, I know you're going to have the most amazing inspiration for all of us with all your decorating!! Thanks again, dear Dawn,
big hugs,
Debra

Great story about your chandelier...it is a beauty. Do you mean that if I buy that book, I can decorate just like you? Isn't it fun to pick up something that holds the essence of what you love best? I'm hoping for that day myself.
My goodness, beautiful :o)
Enjoy your "farm-work"
Hugs Anne:)
Oh Dawn the touch of glam already a addition to your country home. Perfect....
Gorgeous! I love it! Don't work too hard:) Can't wait to see the transformation! HUGS
I have that book and love it! YOur chandelier is gorgeous and I love medallions. I did one above our bed and so get to go to sleep every night looking at my lovely chandelier and medallion. Looking forward to many more pictures of the farmhouse love you got going on.

That Chandelier is amazing! I can't believe it was $5. I dream of finding something like that someday! The book looks lovely, I'll have to look into it :) Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Dawn! I have obviously missed a lot of posts and will go back and read them because it sounds like you have moved into an old farmhouse? If so, I really envy you. That is a dream of mine! I can't wait to see how you are decorating it.
Hugs,
Elizabeth
BEAUTIFUL chandy, Dawn!!! What a bargain!
Your "new" house looks adorable! How exciting for you! There is just something about those old houses...so charming...and no two alike! Congratulations!
Hugs!

Your husband is a wonderful bargain shopper! The chandelier is gorgeous. Dropping by from Common Ground.

Oh girl, the chandelier looks beautiful. French regency, LOL! The medallion looks like plaster or something. Hard to believe it's plastic. That is an obscene price you bought-stole it for!!! I think the price was really $150 and the owner had to go to the potty & asked someone to fill in for a minute. The book you showed is one of my faves. I was just looking at it the other day. The bed is just yummy. Lisa
WOW!!! That's a Fabulous GORGEOUS combination. I'm in LOVE with your chandy! So happy you shared this at common ground! ...and those soaps are delightful!
Gorgeous!!!!
The chandelier is beautiful! I wonder what the former owners would think?
love the chandi!! have a beautiful week, sweet friend!
No!! $5!!! That guy of yours has an eye! He also knows his wife! ;-) I can't wait to see what y'all do with your new home!!!! What an adventure! Lucky, lucky lady!
Hugs! I'd come and help you paint if I lived closer.

I love what is happening to you Dawn, Dreams do come true and sometimes just waiting for them is worth it in the end!
Smiles, Cyndi
And I thought I scored with a similar chandy at 40 bucks! It's gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do with the farmhouse. I know it will be beautiful and you will have a blast doing it.
What exciting news Dawn! I can hardly wait to see the photos after you have made it "you"! Chandelier is a lovely addition. That barn would make a great studio......
I know you are just so very busy right now, but could you tell us a little about the magazine you have featured on this post. Is it an old issue? I have never seen it before. Would love to see the rest of it. Thanks if you have the chance. I understand if you can't right now.
I have that book, and it's one of my favorites! Every page is an inspiration. ::Jill
That is definately a magazine to be inspired by. I love all the textures of the white.
I used to have that book! So pretty! I love the chandelier and I can't believe it was only $5!
Michelle
