Your home looks so clean and beautiful!
thx, sandy. fortunately crumbs don't show up easily and the floor is crumb colored you'll notice.
Your home is lovely and so airy looking with so many awesome finds/deals.
It looks fantastic and I bet you're guessing that most of us would be too chicken to go all white! It must be breath taking at Christmas…do you do all white and silver decorations?
i actually bring in pops of red, but honestly i don't do too much holiday decorating. i'm more of an uncluttered gal, so lots of white lights and a few trees!
thanks for the kind words!
I cannot you got that chandelier for $10.00 from Lowe's. I'm shocked and delighted! Absolutely beautiful. Found you via House in the Roses. Toodles, Kathryn http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2011/09/few-finished-projects.html

Love all of your bargains but that $10 chandelier from Lowes has to be your best find. I love your furniture…obviously not a bargain, but where did you get it? It's beautiful.
