Romancing the Sideboard

Hi Everyone!

It's Debra from Common Ground

wishing you a wonderful Valentine's Week.

Each new season or holiday I really enjoy re-doing my hall sideboard, 

that's right next to the kitchen.

I love white chippy furniture as a backdrop

for all my holiday and seasonal vintage goodies. 

This month I went romantic with an old candy box,

vintage Valentines, and a chippy pie server holding rosy antique teapots.

This is my little Lefton ceramic candy box

And a pink vintage putz house that refused to leave after Christmas!

I layered a couple of old mirrors,

and I think I may keep them here for awhile.

Old Russell Stovers mega candy box.

(someone had a real sweet tooth!)

teapot for two

And vintage cake servers in a pink depression glass ice bucket 

I'm linking to White Wednesday

and the very first WOW

So glad you dropped by,

Hug and Kiss your Sweeties!!

love,

Debra

Sunroom Sneak Peek for White Wednesday

Hi there...

it's Debra from Common Ground.

One of my real pleasures is changing out my sunroom decor,

for the new season or holiday.

It's attached to my kitchen,

so visually it's a big part of how I decorate.

While I might love French Country

this space is totally "cottage".

I thought I'd share a little from my baker's rack

that's always changing for the seasons.

I found this Guy Wolff Pottery

at Restoration Hardware this fall.

All the pieces weren't white,

so my handy gallon of paint did the trick.

My miniature garden and some squirrels

are joining the turkey today.

Please join me Friday for the rest of the Sunroom.

at

Vintage Inspiration Friday

every Friday at

 Common Ground

for the fun!

Now please visit Kathleen at

 Faded Charm

for more wonderful whites!

love,

Debra

A Shabby White Wednesday

Do you ever want to try a simple little project,

but for whatever reason it just never comes together?

Well, everything fell into place last Sunday

 when I had found a perfect old lampshade.

My crystal prisms were within easy reach,

the French Crinkle ribbon from Polly was in the cupboard,

and a beautiful crystal lamp

was just waiting for it's shining moment.

With a few minutes inspiration

I had what I'd been waiting for...

My little Shabby Lampshade!

And here she is dressed for Fall

in some Bittersweet. 

I'm enjoying having her in my studio these Fall Evenings.

Her reflection in the mirror,

maximizes her cozy glow.

Sometimes things in our lives "sit on the shelf",

Until God's perfect timing brings them all together...

at just the right time.



Then all the elements find their synchronicity

And a thing of beauty emerges.

Have a Wonderful White Wednesday, dear friends.

Love,

Debra
