More from the Seed Box Country House

Today I get to show the interior of

 Meloney and Brian's gorgeous country house.

I literally couldn't leave a photo out.

Each one is filled with vintage inspiration.

No words needed, enjoy the tour.

I'm saving one more post to show the exterior,

 wrap around porch, and Master Bath suite.

I don't want to leave anything out.

For more inspiration be sure to scroll down

to see the first two posts on the

grand opening of the Seed Box Garden House.

Thank you Meloney and Brian!

Today I'm linking with our favorite hostess,

 Kathleen, from Faded Charm

for White Wednesday.

I Went to a Garden Party

The day started off with showers, but by the time we made it to

Brian and Meloney's wonderful home in Chadwick, Missouri,

the clouds were clearing and the sun was peeking out;

a perfect day for a Garden Party.

Recently Brian constructed the most wonderful Garden House

on their country property.

And this weekend they are having an Open House.

Their invitations read,

"We built it, Will you come?"

A brick path led to the garden house that meandered

through a quaint courtyard surrounded by a white picket fence.

Outside seating, statuary, whimsies, and plantings

all made for a magical experience.

Brian and Meloney are friends to so many people across the US, selling their wonderful vintage wares at the Texas Shows for many years now. Up until two years ago they had a brick and mortar store in Ozark, Missouri called

The Seed Box.

Brian is a great craftsman, and Meloney has the style and design experience that causes them to be everyone's favorites. They hold several Open Houses each year, and this was to introduce the new Garden House. They are widely known for their amazing vintage Garden and Architectural elements, that are showcased in their new Garden House.

Myself and Hayley from Nesting Notions.

You never know who you'll see...

 Pam, myself, Kenda, and Hayley,

all with booth spaces in the area.

For some amazing inspiration check out

 The Seed Box website,

And my post on their Christmas Open House last November.

"You have risen from the seeds you have sown."

This was just a teaser.

More next time on what's inside,

And a tour of Brian and Meloney's wonderful home.

What a really wonderful day!

White Wednesday: Sunroom Whites

I remember about 10 weeks into White Wednesday someone made the comment that they were running out of white things to post about. And my comment to them, in joking was, "oh, just move them around to different places and no one will ever know the difference." I guess I'm following my own advice. I've realized that maybe we might have a tendency to repeat some of our "whites", but it's about how we use them, the season, and the elements in a vignette.

I love white china and ironstone, and of course my sunroom has been the subject of countless posts. But, trying to keep things fresh, I've learned just to "change things up". That's one of the reasons I love to decorate with the seasons.

During the winter this little sugar bowl and creamer held paperwhites, while now they are filled with wild violets that I dug up from my backyard. Amazing how a weed can drive me crazy for 11 months of the year, then for 1 month I'm really lovin' them.

Old and chippy picket fence gate

Several of you asked about my little "garden box" or conservatory that was in the background of my Silver Sunday post. I found it about six years ago at a local antique mall. I know that several people in the area were making them about that time. There are some pretty elaborate and BIG ones around here. I believe Brian and Meloney from the Seed Box made a few that were very large and really amazing!

The fleur de lys are hinges and the top opens at the front.

And here are more photos of some

 of my collection of white pottery.

Hull, McCoy, USA, Haeger, and some unmarked ones.

I just love them with or without plants.

And with or without cats EATing the plants...

Some of you have heard my harrowing story

 about my wicker furniture.

I seem to have a little problem with collecting it.

But what I love about the white is that it becomes a backdrop

for whatever season and color scheme I choose.

(love those yo-yos)

Right now I'm enjoying all the colors of Spring

with vintage floral quilts.

My old white door and mirror

anchor my seasonal wreaths.

Love that morning sun.

Thanks for suffering browsing through another sunroom post.

You know it won't be the last!
