What's new on the sideboard...


I've been guilty...
yes, guilty ...
of ignoring my sideboard!




I hadn't touched a thing on it since March,
 when I updated it just a "hare"/hair for Easter.
(sorry, couldn't resist the pun)


I like to bring out my floral Mandeville and King Seed Box
this time of year and do it up right.



My sideboard is in my main hall right off the kitchen...
next to the stairway to the lower level.
It's impossible to get a good shot of it 
without hanging like a monkey from a chandelier.


tight space.
just ask my son-in-law who reminds me each time he's here
and unloading suitcases and French Bulldogs.
(just jabbing you a little, Keith)


too bad. 
love my sideboard being here.
my husband knows NOT to complain.

(I better be sweet or there'll be no Coldwater Creek gift card this year for Mother's Day)



And since Mother's Day will be here next month
I added one of my sweet framed greetings from 1939.


and a vintage flower book from 1945 with some seed packets.


McSquirrel is residing in the metal conservatory/lantern.




so...let's see how long this new ivy lasts...








 I love this teensy woven basket...


 just perfect for a little birdie






(everything here except the lantern were flea market finds)

so much better!

I'll be hanging out at these get-togethers:

  6. Your sideboard looks great, I love all the spring touches. It is easy to just leave things the way they were, no dusting involved.

  8. Off topic but the tower of straw baskets is killing me, in the best way. The lantern is so wonderfully appointed. I just found one and it's so huge I am clueless as to what to do with it besides sell it...maybe I will keep it and be a copy cat. Thanks so much for your loving comment today. Love Olive

  13. Everything looks perfect. I adore your sideboard but I have to admit my eye went right to the stack of baskets. All of it is stunning!

  14. WOW Debra - the photos are absolutely gorgeous! And, I saw a little treasure there, nestled into the mix. The Lady of the Lake book!! I have been looking for that forever....I always check my local thrift stores, and also Canton First Monday but I have yet to find it. Oh my goodness. Have you read it yet? Don't you love old books like that?

    Hope you are having a great week!! xo

  25. I love the conservatory filled with the pots and the nest! So natural and spring-like. And who can miss that stack of picnic baskets/totes? I ♥ them.

  26. Hi Debra, as usual you create an amazing vignette. I have to tell you, I have been wanting a seed box for years. My older sister has one and I hope someday she will sale it to me. She downsizes a little each year. Yours looks so pretty on your buffet. Thanks for sharing it with Share Your Cup!
    Hugs,
