White dishes and old lace....a set of vintage salt & pepper shakers...on a tiny shelf made from an old board off our roof....nothing fancy or expensive,but pretty none the less......going to be a bright and sunny Monday here,great way to start the week! Till next time,all the best~Chrissy~

Former Glory...






For twenty years now our little bathroom has been the "forgotten" room....after some heavy rain and water damage the time had come to give the old gal a much needed face lift.One hard working husband,new floor,nantucket style wall treatment,baseboards(for the first time).....soft white and a pale shade of grey on the walls.....I could not be happier with it,hope you like it too,thanks so much for coming by ~Chrissy~
