Pics of the homestead {finally found my good camera}

So I finally found my good camera that was lost in the move. The iPhone just wasn’t cutting it so I am very happy that I found my good one. Here are some new pics from around the house.

I always ask the bartender for the bottle if I finish it off.

My grandfathers tricky horseshoe game.

The family Cattle Brand

The Mantle

I have White Wall Syndrome. All of my walls are freshly redone plaster…a decorators worst nightmare. I love rich colors so every room just seems like its missing something…and that would be COLOR.

It’s funny how I am never satisfied with the way this house looks in pictures.

The tree is still not finished but I might never be “finished”

This is the view from the foyer. I used the crocks that were used by my great grandparents. I have seen these at antiques stores for over $100. Crazy considering that my family had pretty much thrown them out.

My $50 Craigslist find.

When it comes to furniture, it’s always the little details that emotionally move me. Without this wood carving and this drawer pull this piece wouldn’t have even turned my head.

The OK Corral – Tombstone Painting is one of my favorite funky finds. The men and horses are 3D. It’s the coolest dang thang ever.

Well that’s all for now…good luck junkin’

My most recent makeover project…Country Farmhouse goes uptown

This table is SOLID and even has dovetail joints. The Windsor Fiddle Back Chairs are the heaviest I’ve ever ran across. It from the Ethan Allen American Heritage Collection. She is getting a makeover. I am doing a satin black with a light distressing. This is going to change the look of this set completely. I’m going to take grandmas country table and turn it into an urban farmhouse dream table. I will keep you updated on its progress.
