Gone Junkin', (in my own home)

Image
found the red coat rack in the basement (took 5 min. to put up) found this tin basket in the garage, makes a nice welcome for guests. found these curtain tiebacks in the attic, perfect for organizing my junk jewelry. found the table base years ago but finally put this old mirror on it and made it a table these were old lights I found somewhere and used the electrical hardware for another fixture.  last year, found these as I was junkin...took me 6 months to put up, but had been dreaming of them for 12 years. Speaking of old junk... from my more-than-a-decade-old junkin' days, this junk has found it's home. Found these odd, mismatched plates so I put some of them on the wall, finally! maybe I should have a wall dedicated to dead presidents too? Found these cool junkin blogs: Bella Shabby and Barn House 10 years ago I was definitely shabby chic and although I've evolved, t...

But I've got plenty to say, as always. With the weather in the high 90's, I've got sweet iced tea and porches on the brain... mostly because I need something to go with this yummy creation, which I call  "The BEST" (Turkey Bacon, Basil, Egg, Spinach, and Tomato) But because I'm incredibly busy this summer, I don't have time to fix up my screened-in side porch.  So I've been imagining myself basking in dappled sunlight and a cool breeze with my sweet Iced Tea and sandwich... Let me pour you some tea while we refresh ourselves on nice porches like these: click on the photos to make them larger my friends porch includes an incredible view of the savannah river Wrap around porches in Savannah I love this cottage in Palmetto Bluff, SC A dining porch? Looks so glamorous! A porch with a view! I can see how families would want to spend lots of time on the porch um, can you say 'dreamy'? I think I might need to move here Shabby...
