[Capital Style UK] This is a simple, quiet piece. It's understated and practical - especially fitted with curtains. It's allows you to either use the piece for storage you may want to disguise, or for prettier things you want to show off. I don't know about you, but I love old cabinets. I love that they have a second go at being useful. I love their age and quirks and character. I love how I would choose an old wooden cabinet, probably chipped with loose hinges and maybe a broken pane of glass, maybe even salvaged from an old barn, over a shiny new model, every time. But that's me. I have a sneaky suspicion that most of you are probably the same way. In that case, here are a few lovely old pieces that I would be more than happy to add to my collection. (Not to mention the amazing collections they're housing!) [Atlanta Bartlett] This piece is stunning. Having twice the space, with lovely double doors, it's sure to be a focal point you can't help but stare at. I love the hardware as well - especially the old key! [Unknown] Now this piece is massive. It's quite literally, weighting this room. There is ample storage and display space with this lovely piece, which thankfully for the movers, comes in multiple stacking pieces. The detailing on the door panels dresses up this otherwise simple cabinet. [Jason Loucas] This piece has a bit more of a clean and pretty look to it. It's most likely been completely redone. Though it looses the rustic feel of an old salvaged piece, it still boasts charm. They gray and pink pieces displayed, paired with lots of pretty glass, really make it more feminine. [House and Garden] And this one, well it's just a happy medium. It's just right in size, detail and age to me. It's rustic, but still slightly refined. It's got equal amounts of hidden and displayed storage, and it doesn't sacrifice character. I love that it has detail and still clean lines. And, I especially love those window panes - so charming!
I was so happy to find these lavender topiaries at WALMART today!! Even more excited to see they were only 7.88 each! plus 13% tax of course! Well that's the price at the Walmart here in Canada anyways. I missed getting any last year because they sold so FAST! And I could see how fast they were flying off the skids today too! I can tell you that these cats better stay away if they know what's good for them! They like plants! They chew them up! I have a hard enough time keeping plants alive as it is! lol

From tea dyed escort cards, mismatched antique wood chairs, and antique hutches filled with old books and flowers; pieces old and new were woven together to give this Cape Girardeau, Missouri wedding shoot, photographed by Untamed Heart Photography and styled by Katie Saeger of Simply and Forever, a vintage feel. Every last detail of this…
It's the heart of the home for a reason.
I have been waiting for a l-o-n-g time to show you this. Remember this post about being afraid to try new things? Ever since I saw these pocket pillows a few years back I have really, really wanted to make some but I have put it off and put it off and... ~ ~ Well, one day last January my family was gone for the day and I decided *today* is the day. I spent the entire day going through linens deciding what to use where. (Have I ever told you how much trouble I have deciding?) By the end of the day I was here: That was the first hard step. They sat again for a few months waiting to be finished. Finally, I couldn't put it off any more. It was time for the photo shoot of my bedroom and this pillow was going to be part of my bed shot. Another day was spent embellishing with all of the pretties. Even though I was afraid to try I had so much fun once I got going. I still have so much to learn but there is so much satisfaction in trying. I love them because they use all of my favorite elements: off white linen snippets of vintage lace cabinet cards and roses. I enjoyed adding romance. This one was for my bestest of best friends. I am so glad I tried! Now, on to something else new... You can check out all of the white pretties here.
