White Wednesday at Inspirational Home

Nestled next to a creek in a quaint rural area of Springfield is a little shop that I want to share with you. Inspirational Home, owned by Debra Moore, is a jewel in an area that has long been known for antiques. Galloway was once a small incorporated village, that has since become part of the city, but still retains it's "days gone by" atmosphere of shops and small businesses.
These are photos from the Fall Open House that was held last weekend. Be sure and click on the image for more detail of all these great finds.

Since this is White Wednesday, I will just be sharing Debra's white displays and will post the rest later this week. So just consider this a "teaser".

Below is the Garden Room, and I have to admit, I could spend hours in here. Her cupboards are filled with great garden goodies, and accessories. Debra carries new  "vintage inspired" merchandise, and her displays are vintage, also for sale, so it's a wonderful mix.






Gorgeous dried white hydrangeas from the front yard
on a beautiful wicker chaise lounge.
Glass and wire cloches covering small cottages.
The upstairs has just recently opened
with great kitchen accessories, gourmet foods
and some delightful displays.


Candles and jewelry, all unique.



Great country French towels for the kitchen.



The leopard sofa, just gorgeous, with white pumpkins.
                                     




Incredible cabinet.



This is the white room, filled with candles, bath goodies, scents of all kinds.



Beautiful fountain filled with leaves and white lights.

Inspirational Home is just that...a place to be amazed and inspired.


Now, head on over to see Kathleen at Faded Charm,
 for other great "White Wednesday" posts.

Be Inspired this week!

Grain Sack Pillow, or How I Rescued it from the Kitties

Well, it doesn't appear to have gotten too far from them, but I did give it a good wash and found two standard sized feather pillows to stuff it with.  The wicker settee is in my Dining Room...my crowded Dining Room. I found this old wicker piece at my friend Colleene's sale back in July and it is in wonderful condition. She gave it to me for a song, and since my garage is full, it found it's way into the house. Sort of a makeshift placement, but I couldn't pass it up...the story of my life.
Miss Wrigley, the lounge lizard.
I tried to dress it up a little with a little shabby pillow and a sweet floral coverlet.









Easy project, as I had been looking for some kind of pillow or pillows to go on this. I think this may work.
I'm trying to find the balance between Too Much and Too Little, Over the Top and Minimalist. I love simple things, but I also love embellished.
Anyway, here's to something easy to get the look I love... vintage and comfortable!
