Mod Mix Monday #86

Winter White
elegant, shabby, junky, vintage

Not much modern in this photo...maybe the star in the window.
I just thought it was a pretty room and loved the jonquils sprouting in the metal container on the 
coffee table.

My next door neighbor's daffodils are up and blooming.
No sign of mine as of yet.
Seems awfully early to be seeing daffodils...and yet...there they are.

Again this is late...again I missed doing a Sunday Open House.
Still having a hard time managing...everything.
Mom is doing way better....she'll be going home soon.
Maybe in another week.
Sally got sick....and then Rosie did too.
So we spent the last two days at the vet.

Both had serious vomiting and diarrhea.
I thought Sally's was from stress but not sure what caused Rosie's.
Sally was dehydrated and had to spend the weekend at the vet.
Rosie got fluids and came home. 

Mom fell out of bed last night.
She says Marcus pushed her out.
I have to say he looked pretty guilty when I went in and found her on the floor.
She says he's pushed her out before.

She was ok...but had a knot on her head where she hit the nightstand.

She says that I'll be glad when they are all gone because it's too much drama.
Kind of has been a lot of drama of late. 

I am so ready for some boring days.

Let's look at some pretty stuff....here are my favorites from Mod Mix Monday last week.
Olive of Olive Out showed off her new kitchen island. 
It's made from a vintage window. I really love it...wish it were mine.
Andrea of Opulent Cottage showed off her new little vintage green scale.
Restoration Redoux painted this yummy turquoise little dresser.
Oh...I could give this piece a happy home. It's so pretty!
The Junk in Our Trunks showed off their latest painted piece.
I love the color on this one mixed with the wood stained drawer. 
Those painted knobs just make this.
Angela at Number Fifty-Three made a cute little book paper heart garland to bring 
a little Valentine's into her vignette.

I'll have some Valentine decor up this week myself. 
Running late on that too....oh...I'm getting tired of being behind on everything.
But that is just the way things are right now.

I bet there will be lots of Valentine's stuff on this party next week.

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.
New and old together...

Junk? I think not.

Pretty Dressing Table from Junk
This pretty dressing table made from junk appeared in Country Home a couple of years ago. I thought Country Home was the best it had ever been the last two years it was in production. I miss it. Nice that they still have a website. 

I love how elegant this vanity is made from an old metal door chained to the wall with a vintage mirror.
From the same guest house. Love this bed made of old doors that have been upholstered. I'm dying for a wingback chair similar to the one pictured. I love that butterfly back.

Look at these bedside lights. Inspirational to be sure. I've been wanting to hang small chandeliers on either side of my bed for ages. It would solve the problem of Newman scooting the lamp over every time he gets on the night table to look out the window. 

Hope you are having a great weekend. The rest of my carport is coming down today. I'll feel like I have more real estate once that is done. No more dark cave behind the house.
