Inspiration Friday ~ All things wonderfully old....

I'm sure you already know this about me.

How in the world could I deny it?

If it's old,

crusty,

rusty,

falling apart,

wrinkled or

stained...

it inspires me!!!!

Just a little sampling of this:

I'm joining everyone at Debra's blog Common Ground for Inspiration Friday!!

OH and I know Debra's highlighting porches but if you saw

our front porch right now, you'd laugh your head off!!!!

Have a wonderful day dear friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

The shades of old.....Inspiration Friday ~

I have so, so many things that inspire me...

It's REALLY easy for me to participate in Inspiration Friday

hosted by Debra of Common Ground!

As much as I love the pure white and cream decorating,
it's not very realistic for me :)

I do love having my cream guest room though!!!

My colors have always been the shades of old.

What are those, you ask?

Basically the colors of dirt.

No, really....the sepias, the sages...the antiqued rose....

THOSE are my colors.

With five sons you can certainly understand why!

Carol Hicks Bolton....the designer and past owner of Homestead in Texas

has always, ALWAYS inspired me as I love her style, 

her colors and her way

of loving all things old.

I appreciate so many different styles of decorating...

but THESE photos and Carol Hicks Bolton's style of decorating,

TOTALLY inspire me!!

Have a beautiful Friday precious friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn
