Mod Mix Monday #191

 via
Isn't this a pretty bathroom? 
I love that cabinet, the mirror, the big metal sink bowl and faucet. 
And I think that vintage modern sconce keeps the whole thing from being too sweet.
Notice the shelves are packed with colorful ever so used stuff?
Somehow even that jumble of stuff looks good.
I'd totally embrace this cabinet in my own bathroom.

Sorry, I've been a bit out of touch of late. I'll explain this week.
So...I'm only now sharing my favorites from Mod Mix Monday of two weeks ago....
Shall we start?
 Kris of Junk Chic Cottage made over her dining room chairs by adding ruffles to the seats.
Aren't they precious?
 Just look at this pretty white on white dining room!
 Tabatha of Chic by Tab painted a little dresser with Miss Mustard Seed's Milkpaint in Kitchen Scale.
I have some of this paint here at the house and really need to put it to work.
She took a ugly dresser and turned it into a jewel.
 Cecelia of My Thrift Store Addiction visited a wonderful little store
and this was the first thing she spotted.
A cute way to display photos and sheet music used as placemats.
Terrific idea!
 Mary of Orphans with Makeup outdid herself with is antique buffet done in a spring green.
She styled it with herbs in little aged pots. 
Love it so!
 Su of Butterfly and Bungalow shared her potting shed / craft studio.
I so wish I had this sort of space. She has made the most of a tiny spot.
Patti of Old Things New shared photos from a Southern Garden Tour. 
Lots of inspiration here. I love that porch space.
 Patti (Old Things New) also paid tribute to Snoopy Girl a member of their family that they 
had to say good bye to recently. 
Look at that smiling beautiful face! You can just tell Snoopy Girl was a remarkable dog!

Please join in this week's Mod Mix Monday!

Open House Sunday

You know I love vintage and historic homes.
I admire modern homes but I could never live in one...but this one....this one I could live in.
What do you think of it?
I love the large expanse of white brick in the living room and the furniture 
is super eclectic
which is another reason why I love this home.
 
How about that yellow niche in the wall? Super pretty...I say.
And of course I like that blue table.
 Well, it's pretty obvious why I like this house...it's got lots of vintage going on 
with it's furnishings. All of this would be right at home in my own house.
 Here we have traditional cabinets in the kitchen. Love the addition of the ladder.
 Bohemian bedroom
Oh...this bathroom is over the top great.
I love that sort of sink. Love the white tile every where.
And of course everyone needs french doors to the outside off the bath.
This house is out in the country where this idea would work.
You might get out of the shower one day to find a cow in your bathroom though.
Which actually sound divine to me....or is it bovine to me!
 I love the way the porch almost looks like it's still being constructed.
It's not...but it gives that feeling and I like it!

What do you think of this one?
I'm sorry...I have no idea where I found this house.
It is labeled HOMESetc but I couldn't find a website.
I think it's a overseas magazine.

I got a new neighbor across the street last week.
My friend Harold has moved to Chicago.
I'll miss him but the new neighbors put out loads of 
pumpkins on the porch and in the flower beds.

So I like them already.
Plus they have two very nice dogs.
