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!

Junkin' Monday

The last few weeks I have been trying to cut back on my junk "proliferation". The garage is full, but you know how it is. This addiction is a tough one. It calls you out at all hours and sends you places you normally wouldn't go. You are found in the company of other people suffering from the same malady, and you sneak back in, trying to hide your finds and stash them somewhere where they might not be noticed immediatlely.

Seriously, I have cut back after a full blown "junk attack" this summer. My problem is I just love vintage "stuff", and if I see something useful, different, or a bargain, it just comes home with me.
I picked up a few baskets at a garage sale, and a few more items at one of the places I have a booth. We aren't spending our Sundays on the road though, so that causes me to not really get the junkin' fix I need.

I have a plan for these candle holders,so please disregard the horrid green candle wax, and the fact that these are "dime-a-dozen". (See how I'm trying to dress this stuff up with some fall leaves?  Maybe you won't notice that it's "junk"!)

Oh, That's right... That's the name of this post!

This was from a new store that I will share with you later in the week,
"Inspirational Home" here in Springfield.

 I just love this little handmade wire pumpkin candle sconce.

This store will blow you away! It definitely has nothing to do with Junk!

These little tea light holders with crosses looked like little crowns to me.

Lunch basket, so cute for fall decor.

I'm a sucker for little cottage cannisters.

This will be useful in my office for supplies.

This is a glass door off of an antique wall clock.

 I thought it would make a good frame for some altered art.

This is an old round cheese board, and on top is a bar of homemade oatmeal soap

 that I think came from Sharon at Sweet Repose.

I picked it up at Leola's Fall Open House,
 where I saw Hayley, from Nesting Notions.

We live in the same town, only about 3 miles from each other,
 but we had not met.
It's such fun when you can meet a blogging friend!

Smells heavenly...and so cute all tied up with sheet music and lace!

I found this great grain sack that will become a pillow cover.

 Love the colors.

Brown and light blue-grey.

Apple basket, that's going to be whitewashed and hold a mum.

Old crocheted doilie, just love these.

My grandma would sit and make these for hours on end.

Uh, oh. They've found me, the twins are here.

Better forget about any more shots.

There goes the grain sack.

Of course! What's wrong with me? A cat bed is a much better idea!

Be sure and check in with the gals from
Cottage Charm and Family Inspiration
to see what else is happening on Junkin' Monday

Hope you have this much help with all your junk.
