Little Changes - Front Window

Yesterday, I spent hours tweaking my living room.

I hadn't really planned to do it, but 

you understand how one thing leads to another.

Here's a peek at the primitive table that

sits in front of the front window.

It's the one that keeps the dog from

getting through the window to

the post man. Seriously, she cracked a pane!

There's a crackled glass lamp, painted

with a soft silver spray paint and fitted with a

pretty gray embroidered shade - from Walmart.

Next to the lamp is a new iron stand

in which I placed a vintage chippy croquet ball.

It was a perfect fit!

It makes me want to buy more of these stands.

I see them at thrift stores for pennies all the time!

A tarnished silver plate two-handled cup

now holds a child-sized croquet ball,

instead of silk greenery. And next to it,

a cup with antique dice  - some made of bone

and some made of vintage plastics.

There is a wire container, rescued from a thrift store.

I found a bundle of them, and bought all five.

I removed the rickety bamboo lining the tops,

and now they look more industrial.

Vintage books and faux greenery fill the basket.

To the right of the basket sits a trio of 

mismatched candlesticks.Two styro pumpkins 

from Dollar Tree, painted off-white, and a dried gourd

are perched on them, offering a little nod to the season.

A tarnished copper bird box sits guard over them.

Aside from tweaking this vignette, I painted several 

small pieces and tweaked other areas. I'll show you 

more photos of those changes next time!

Word for the Day:

Daniel 6:10
When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, 

he went to his house where he had windows in his upper

chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his 

knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks 

before his God, as he had done previously.
