Porches and Petals

This will be our first Christmas enjoying our newly painted floor.  I am very glad I made the decision to go ahead and paint it, instead of waiting to sand the repolish the floor, which seemed like it was never going to happen.  I was also not sure of the condition of the wood flood, and if we would have actually beeen able to sand it down as much as needed. The paint is now a few months old, and holding up very nicely so far.  I was not sure what to expect, so that it has lasted even this long is good news. I am once again using my tree form Best Choice Products this year.  I think it is actually a very good size for our living room.  A lot of the ornaments were purchased from Goodwill, which is one of my favorite places to shop for home decor items. These poinsettias are faux, and I just purchased them from Goodwill for only $3.25. I just put those flower vases on the end table while I was arranging things, but I ended up liking the "stacked" look,

It has been a long time, but I am finally back with a new post! The whole home renovation process has been one of the most involved and overwhelming things I have tried to do in my life, so I have not kept up with this blog like I had originally intended to. For this post I decided to share some of my fall decorations, since fall is one of my favorite seasons to decorate for.  I just love the fall colors!  The pineapple vase is from Walmart, and I bought it a couple years ago but last time I checked, they were still selling it. The flowers are also from Walmart.  I just love them!  The rich colors look amazing! The tiny pumpkins are from the Dollar Tree.  The Dollar Tree always has lots of cute decorations, for every season! These amazing orange glasses were prchased from a Goodwill store in San Antonio, Texas, many years ago.  The orange color is so gorgeous, and rare!  I think these are the perfect fall/Thanksgiving glasses.
