To polish or not to polish...

 Hello my Blog friends I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful weekend! As I wandered around our home today I noticed most of our Silver needs polishing.

 Perhaps I should leave it as is....it looks quite pretty!

 What are your thoughts on shining the silver?

Have a wonderful week ahead....I am so excited to be one week closer to Spring!
Blessings,

New Colours

 Hello & thank you for stopping in again today! I am sharing some of our new colours that we are getting together for a bit of a new look.

 I have chosen the silver blue tones from the colour in our vintage wool carpets from 1920's.

 As I have mentioned in a past post I had the two 1930 wing chairs recovered and although the chairs are a little different in style I think they make a lovely pair.

 One side of the cushions is in a Toile fabric and the other is in the same fabric as the body of the chair for a different look. I am waiting for a special order of the Gimp to finish the chair on the left but the chair should be finished next week. 

 My little vintage cradle is holding a doll quilt my Mother made for me when I was six ears old and a violin that was in my Family for generations.

 The seating area faces our fireplace for a cozy spot to sit and read a book or chat about your day.

I hope you enjoyed your visit and please stop in again..take care.
Hugs,


Wanda
