Winter neutrals and Where's Sammy and Oliver?

January 14, 2015

So today's tour of some of our winter home (I enjoyed my own photos so added quite a few and decided to split the main floor into 2 posts) reads more like a where's waldo of cats. Those 2 turkeys followed me around this time I had the camera out and make a few appearances in the photos.

The living room this winter has many neutral pillows in grain sacks, blacks and whites and tie into the mantel and chalkboard wall. They add interest without being the interest if you get my drift.

i added a few small books and black and white photos to this lovely ironstone tureen

i decided to group some of my crockery together with the rooster that usually lives in the dining room. i added the small clock for another hit of black. i am really enjoying grouping my collections as of late and love the impact they have.

the front foyer got straightened out. by straightened out i mean i straightened the angle i have had the rug, chair and crate on for some time and just have everything standing at attention now. the pillow got switched out for a great wool polyester black and white stripe and i found some of my favourite house plants the "white kalanchoe" for the tin on the island.

again with the grouping. i moved more of my cameras into one location and my cigarette lighters joined them on our crate shelf.

i found this lovely little rug on etsy before christmas for the bathroom and it adds the perfect hit of vintage colour. the shelves got some re-styling and are back to their collected pre-holiday selves or shelves lol
