The farmhouse was really clean this past weekend!!!
For approximately five minutes!
That's what it seemed like anyway, but who cares :)
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving together and
wedged ourselves in here like sardines.
During those five minutes of cleanliness,
I took a few photos to share with you ~
now remember a few things, OK?
I can't do all white, or cream because, well...
I have to have things the color of dirt.
It saves me from going crazy and
then I'm sane enough to work in the studio!
Plus, nothing matches. I mean NOTHING.
Also, I used to own an antiques store so I have
an excess of things that I think are beautiful!
Our sofa and chair that do match were given to us
by our son...a little too mod for me but
I needed new and it came at a great time!!
Brent hung my stained glass window over the kitchen sink last week too ~
After an entire year in the box, my beautiful Limoges china is back on the hutch ~
This thing is WAAAY too crowded...I need to edit!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and great weekend too ~
We had two Thanksgivings....
one Thursday with my husband's family
and one Saturday here at the house with my family!
I'm about turkey-ed out too!
So now we can jump into Christmas with both feet....
and I'm heading back into the studio
to finish up a few sparkly trees ~
Wishing you a beautiful Monday precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

I do NOT think that hutch needs edited. Your home looks delightful and warm and cozy and filled with interesting things. I think it is just lovely and managing to decorate WITHOUT matching is something to be admired. Everything "goes". Beautiful!
It all looks wonderful Dawn and like a home where love and life is enjoyed and where you enjoy your collections not have them packed away, as it should be I say! Hugs Marilou
Hello Dawn~what a beautifully warm and inviting setting. I adore your china and hutch! So many vignettes that displayed a personal touch with many stories no doubt behind them.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
Your home is so warm and inviting. My favorite things are the mantle with the paintings displayed and the green bookshelf with the scrollwork on the side.
Thanks for sharing.
Your farm house is beautiful! That China and hutch are fabulous, they would be so missed in a box for a year.Yes it is time to welcome Christmas~Cheers Kim
Sweet Dawn, your home with all the cosy and beautiful corners, are so inviting and full of wonderful collections, and old gorgeous furnichures-like the hutch, the little tables,the green shelf-and all your lovely creations .
My home is also not matching-I love to "marry" different pieces ,like you.
Thankyou for the sweetest images, precious friend.
Hugs and love,Dorthe
All that beautiful stuff is so inviteing, you have a beautiful home .
Your home is beautiful and you have some gorgeous pieces in there :)

Have a delicious day!
Hi Dawn,
Your home has such a wonderful look and feel. I could get real comfy there in a short period of time...you wouldn't be able to get rid of me!
Your elegant touch is everywhere. I'm so glad that you put out your china, it's lovely.

I want to come and sit in your house! It's so beautiful and comfortable and cozy! xo
Love your new old farm house... So WELCOMING , you just know a happy family lives there. I too love the white look , but know it would not work for me. My white would be orange Georgia clay in no time. Give me those warm earthy colors ! Love your creativity !
Hi Dawn, Your home is my kind of home. Filled with the people you love and the things you enjoy surrounding you. Don't change a thing! Love, Penny
It makes me so happy to see my ticket sign in your home! I am so glad that you still like it! I think everything looks great! I need to edit some things too. Having some things in a store gets tricky with the collecting thing. Hope you have a great holiday hugs Deneen
Sweet cozy house that love built! Can I say how thankful I am for you Dawn and the many inspiring things you share with us so freely? So many images in my document file are straight from you and so many ideas I have gleaned from your blog, I cannot even count them! Hope you got some rest from the busy holiday and are full of energy for the next one!
I knew your home would be as warm and inviting as you are...what a treasure trove! When I visit your pages, I feel I've returned to a more gracious time.
Dawn, I always say that if you buy stuff you love, it all goes together. Things look better when they don't "match"! Your home is lovely.
Dawn,your home is beautiful and you have it decorated so wonderfully...can't wait to see it all decked out for Christmas.Blessings on your week.
Dawn, you have a beautiful home. What you call
"crowded" -- I like! Thank you for sharing.
Dawn your home is lovely and so inviting.Thanks for sharing it!Hugs,Jen
Your home is cozy and charming. I could easily sit myself down and just look around at all of the wonderful things.
We just finished the last of the turkey soup and if I don't see turkey until next year, that will be fine with me. Two feasts! Isn't life great?!
It all looks wonderful and you enjoy your family so much. That is the name of the game.
Hugs

Oh Dawn it is beautiful! I want to come in and sit and talk your ears off while I look at all of your beautiful things. I love that large armoir in the corner--gorgeous--
Your home is as beautiful and warm as you are my dear friend.
hugs from here...
When is coffee? I'll be right over to sit and chat and enjoy :-) Beautiful!
If you pare down your little doggie ont he shelf..I'm first in line :-)
Your home is so welcoming and charming and a reflection of your generous spirit. I don't think you need to edit a thing! Thank you for sharing all those lovely images. Enjoy the season Dawn! :)
Hi Dawn,
How lovely your home is! I love your little vignettes and displays, and your art everywhere! Pretty, warm, comfortable-that's what a home is. I think a good couch and chair are essential, no matter the style! Your sweet style shows through in every picture!
Have a great week!
