Thanks for joining me again...
I was editing the gazillion pictures I took and decided to post the red rooms today and save the pink rooms for tomorrow...
It makes sense to begin as you enter her home into her adorable living room...
Can you tell she loves pillows? She has some of the prettiest I've seen anywhere.
She's lucky enough to have high ceilings in here...her husband Dave custom made the shelves and bookcases she uses to display her wares...
Theirs is definitely a team effort...he has the ability to either envision what she sees or just trust that she knows what she's doing. Either way, it's a winning combination.
This is one of her favorite displays...notice the nice big armoire...it's mine. Well, let me clarify... it will be mine once the TV it houses tears up...is it bad for me to wish that will happen sooner rather than later?...
A small sample of her collection of jadiete...I love that she mixes the old with the new.
Okay, now we're moving into the dining area...
This large farmhouse table has a nice big bench seat full of comfy pillows...
A fresh bouquet of daisies just for our visit...how sweet!
She picks up the vintage salt and pepper shakers for a song and then paints the lids to match her decor...
Aren't these the coolest cherry glasses?
This is the area between her dining room and kitchen...
I love this display on her kitchen counter. She has a nice wide island area for her prep work so having her things displayed in the kitchen is not a space issue...
Even her spices look cute in this repurposed display shelf...
She left the doors off these cabinets...you can see why. What a perfect area to display more of her great finds.
I wish you could see it all in person. My limited photography skills just don't do it justice. Trust me, this is just the tip of the iceberg...
I've been encouraging her to start her own blog...I know the stories that go along with her decorating would only enhance her adorable cottage. Maybe one day soon...
I'll leave you with this for now...
but if you are a pink lovin' girl, you're gonna love tomorrows post!
Don't forget, you still have a few days left to enter my Anniversary giveaway. Just click on the picture at the top of my sidebar...
Happy Thursday,
Patty

I wish I could see it too...it looks like a wonderful place to live... it is the perfect colors! I love RED!!!! Mica/The Child's Paper
Wow, such fun things, it's just too cute! Looking forward to seeing the pink!
I was excited when I got up this am and saw a new post.....I am so loving her home and its "stuff"...like I mentioned before, I also have lots of red and cherries in my home, though not as much as she has or none of those yummy pillows, and I can't use white as we have cats, and we have a "log cabin"...sigh!!! I had to click on the photos so I could see all the "lovelies" in greater detail...WOW!!! I do love pink, too so can't wait to see the next days...and yes, she needs to have a blog...thanks for sharing...blessings!!
I love all the red accents, it must have taken lots of patients and dedication to stage this all, very well balanced spaces! Nice pictures, too! I know the challenge of shooting indoors!
Oh Patty, this is just too adorable. It's like a going back in time when life was so much simpler. I adore that farm table with the vintage tablecloth. Thanks for sharing these with us. Too cute!
Wow, so much to see! It is all so cute and put together so well. Thanks for sharing with us!
