New bedroom furniture arrangement!

A new furniture arrangement for my bedroom! For years I have angled my bed in the left corner, thought it gave a more open look and it was sound Feng Sui . I  moved this around for a change and find it more open . When I photographed the room there was a good amount of sunlight streaming which is often not my thing; but it was nice. Not a vampiress but not a sun lover either!

Krumpet's little bed lays near the canopy bed, although he does share both. My big old trunk holds so much clothing, do I dare admit 15 pairs of jeans?

It took getting used to the new look, but now I love it and is more authentic to the 1796 homestead than the later design. 

Do you like it?

My Spring Homestead Table

My Spring brunch table, tea with a nest? My Mom and Dad's 25th anniversary coffee pot, now an antique is one of my favorite possession.

Bead springs make perfect egg holders, no the eggs are decorative only, but I guess your could polyurethane them. Um, my next project! Piled up vintage linens and burlap jumbled  are nest like too...

Raffia and lace everywhere!

Rustic and elegant materials just belong together!

Enjoy,

Karen

Classic British Black & Tan

Tans and black, so classic, to me an all season color combination. It reminds me of Burberry plaid, which I do adore. 

Anything English makes me think about my constant companion , my Yorkshire terrier,

KRUMPET

Always British, the classic detective Sherlock Holmes. Of course, I visited this pub when I visited London.

With the last name of Doyle, could I not? Have I mentioned that my Dad was a  real detective?

Checks on floors, checks on walls, 

compliment black tones in my office. The egg shaped wood box originally held to hold tea.

Kitchen Fall design at the homestead includes whites, golds, tan and yes black.

Acorns are dropping in the neighborhood, my trees are about to drop chestnuts. 

 

Really feeling like Fall now,

enjoy,

Karen
