On the verge of ANOTHER snow storm here. Yup....tomorrow afternoon it's supposed to start and go all night into Wednesday. We are expecting 12 to 20 MORE inches...on top of the 30 we just got. I couldn't go to work today because the roads are horrible. Instead I got to notice the sun coming through the windows like I normally don't get to experience on a daily basis.
I found this old door last year in the barn on our property. I brought it in and it's been in several different spots in our house. Right now it's resting on a low bench next to the bed. I love the way the sun comes through that wavy glass.....
I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was this little angel door knocker. I grabbed my coffee and my camera and started taking some pictures. I didn't notice until JUST NOW how the suns rays hit the angels wings......very cool indeed!
The old door is sitting in front of a real window. I guess I will have to move it once Spring comes (if it ever does) so we can open that window. Too bad, because I really like it there. (this image was taken into a mirror for the reflection)
I bought this at a thrift store a few years ago...I just love the detail on it. I painted it a blue-ish grey.
Speaking of thrift stores....I found this old military trunk that someone had already painted.....the inside is in pristine condition and NO ODORS! I'm storing all my sheets and pillow cases in it. I don't have a linen closet so this worked out perfectly. I would show you the whole thing, but right now it's piled with a bunch of junk. Clever editing is what it's all about. Like Karla says......just kick the "stuff" out of the view of the camera lens and nobody will no the difference.
These old books elevated my little lamp to a much better height.
My apron I made for Silver Bella...now my dress form wears it along with my wedding dress
My tiny little bedroom is jam packed with stuff. I try to keep it to a minimum so we're not tripping over things. But this is a tiny little house and space is very limited.
I walked out into the living room and found Sarah all rolled up in a ball. I think she is getting SAD over the impending snowstorm. She has not been herself lately. I do think she is depressed. Who wouldn't be? She drowns every time she goes out.
Back to work on Tuesday for me....and with any luck Wednesday will be another snow day!
Have a great warm, cozy week!
It's snowing here (again) as I write. At least it's pretty! Your room is so pretty & so full of wonderful details. Love the stacked books & the dress form.

We're under a winter storm warning here as well. Several inches have fallen already with more to come. Your Sarah looks so cozy all curled up like that!

Ooo, I love your style! Old door, old books and dress form, old trunk, great old mirror. You've got the right stuff.
We have snow here too. Not Snowmagedom, by any means, but enough to keep us indoors and off the roads (icy conditions).
