Mod Mix Monday #86

Winter White

via

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.

I really don't have anything to say about all this except that it's awfully pretty and serene.

I'm thinking I might paint my living room and dining room white.

I'm afraid yesterday's post made everyone think I have alligator skin.

No, it just easily gets irritated by chemicals.

I mainly just wanted to let everyone know that I thought this stuff was fantastic.

And now it's incredibly soft. It is always soft but now it REALLY is soft.

But...I had several suggestions of other stuff I could try and I'll try them and let you know.

I take really good care of my skin...always have.

And everyone says I look much younger than my years.

I just thought that product something others might want to try.

It was the first time I ever bought anything I saw on tv.

MVL Dining Room

To Dine Is Thine

Yes, I finally have a finished dining room.

I showed it yesterday but I'm afraid by the time I got the new fabric on the chair seats....

I was starting to lose the good light for photos. So my photos were a bit blurry.

So here I've included new shots done in better light.

I decided to go with a different color and fabric on each chair seat.

This one is the same fabric I used for curtains in the breakfast nook.

I ordered all the other fabric from Fabric.com.

The pink is called Flamingo Pink and coordinates very well with the pink ceiling in this room 

and with my pink sofa in the living room.

I think this yellow is my favorite.

This one was Mom's favorite.

I won this great Cockatoo statue from Eddie Ross last summer.

It finally has a spot to rest. He looks fabulous on the buffet now that it's white.

I also thought I was growing tired of my majolica but I have a renewed love 

for it now that it's mixed with all the white.

Yes, Roscoe's chair is still here. I draped some fabric on it for the moment. 

The view from the living room into the dining room.

The room needs a rug and some more art...but all in time.

For now I'm basking in the glow of a job accomplished.

Oops! just realized I forgot to include what this furniture looked like before - here we go!
