Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. ~ John Keats

Busy ~ Busy~ Busy

Good Monday Morning! We had a very pretty weekend here on the Chesapeake! Saturday it reached 62! Looks like Spring is on it's way! :)

We took a trip across that Big bridge Friday & picked up some crown moulding... Yay!! We have finally started! So we wont have to make mitre cuts.. We are cheating a bit & using inside & outside corner moulding pieces. I'm really liking how its turning out! Haven't taken any photos yet..

 But here are a few more photos to share from our junkin & antiquing venture..

 This is an Antique Marketplace we like to visit every so often... It's like a big warehouse inside with lots of different vendors.. They also have antique & plant auctions on Friday nights...

 
I found 2 mirrors that I really liked.. But this one was on sale for a great price! It started out very dark... Of course I painted it white :) Looks much prettier now!

                                                                                                                


 A few shots of the living room before the Crown Moulding...

 
With the chandeliers lit..... You can just barely see the corner of my antique sideboard.. It has a lovely dark patina..  It did cross my mind.. maybe once or twice to paint it white.. ;)

 

Here's an old photo of it from a few years ago... 


 I decided after painting the fireplace surround that it needed  a little something different... I reversed the front panel & hung one of my architectural salvage pieces on the front...


 

I'm pleased with what we have accomplished in such a short amount of time! Cant say I've had a lot of fun with all the painting.. But it's definitely been worth all the hard work! :) We still have lots to do!


I'll be back soon with photos of our adventure with crown moulding....


Hope all of you have a Beautiful Week!  ~ T ♥

  3. Hi Teresa, I am so glad you stopped by for a visit. Thank you for your sweet comment. The grout color is looking okay the more I look at it.
    Yes, the Bay Bridge is the bridge I was talking about. It is pretty looking out from on top of it, as long as you don't think about how high you are :)

    Have a blessed week.

  11. How on earth did I miss this wonderful post Teresa?! Your living room is so beautiful. It looks like the kind of room I would love to just sit and be still in.
