Thank you for sharing your home with me. And you are Legally Blonde, my girl. In the best possible way. How I love the artist who can wear red high heels and do that pick something up and pop up thing. I'm trying to learn that....but I'll never get it.
And then there's the Duke and Harvard free ride thing....in your studio....yes, Legally Blonde....and what about those Ivy League schools.
-R-
When Pop use to refinish furniture, no dunking tank for us, just an old tray, a pump for the stripper and hours and hours of sanding, sanding, some stain, little varnish, a great big high from all the fumes and then headaches. :)
Heck, most the stuff he'd find at the dump, round oak tables, hoosiers, dressers, built his own furniture too.
Enjoyed and Rated.
You do lovely work, I am keen to see more. I really enjoy restoring furniture too, but haven't done anything for years. It can be immensely satisfying to see the beauty of a piece emerge from what was once an ugly duckling.
Show us more.
Rated.
It's nice to have furniture with a history that you can pass on and on and on...
:-)
R~~
i managed to make off with a whole bunch of cameras when i left home. this is an inspiring post! can i request a picture of the counter behind your sink? everyone keeps knickknacks there, and it makes a neat little portrait.
looks very comfortable.

Robin- Kicking up the red high heels, flipping back my long blonde hair, doing that Legally Blonde Bitch thing.. teehee
Okay! The Duke and Harvard is coming up in the next tour soon.. I have a post with some of my artwork on it look under the links on the left side "A side of me you never seen-my artwork."
But I will be posting more of my drawings and pottery that I have around the house.. You are so welcome here..
Thank you!
Carolinablue- Glad you like the look "behind the scenes". I figured it would be fun to do, because it is a side OS never sees and there is more to come.. Thank you
Tink- Man your pop was lucky I don't even have a sprayer for the stripper- it is all done by hand. But I do have a power sand, amongst my many many tools.. Glad you liked it.. Thank you!
You do have quite a impressive collection of not only fine antiques, but of the history to the pieces. You seem to enjoy colonial style furnishings, as they are homey. They make a place feel cozy, I like the quilt, my Aunt used to do a lot of sewing by hand. But her eyes at this point get tired. I will continue to look for more of your furnishings and great stories that go along with the pieces.
Ablonde- There are more photos and stories to come. I just decided to do a little bit at a time, instead of a huge post. But yes there is more coming, plus more of my artwork and pottery, along with more stories. Glad to hear you were intrigued. SMILES
I learned how to refinish furniture and woodworking from my dad when I was a little girl. I love to do it, nothing like taking someone else's piece of trash and making a master piece out of it. I can also do flood and fire restoration, and repair fiberglass too.
Like I said this is a side of me OS has never seen.. Thank you!
Thoth- Thank you glad you thought it was beautiful and cool.. There is more to come..
Ariana- Happy to see YA! Welcome to my home! It is really cool to learn how to do it, and lots of fun to do. But I will tell you it isn't a nice clean hobby at all. I put my overalls, tank top, and boots on and go at it..
Glad you enjoyed the post. Want any tips to learn how, PM me.. Thank you
Joan- That is cool that you have some early American pieces too. The beauty and craftsmanship of the early American pieces just take my breath away. I have some in the shop that I have to refinish still, but those are to sell and not to keep. Glad you enjoyed this part of my world.. Thank you
Scanner- Happy that you enjoyed this part of my home.. Cool that you can do refinishing also. I love to do it.. Thank you
bkoscelny-Yes I have many things that have been passed down from generations to generations. Glad you liked how I have them displayed. There is more to come to follow this tour.. Thank you
Zuma- Welcome to my home!! SMILES!! Glad you loved my home and my collection. There is more to come too.. Tai, Robin, Owl talked me into doing the tour of my home, which is really a tour in American History. Thank you ! HUGS!
Monte- SMILES!!! Thank you! I love to decorate. Yes I have many talents hidden under the bushel, there is more to me then my stories and poems. grins.. My home is full of history and very cozy... I am glad you liked what I have showed so far..
Owl- Welcome to my home!! Thank you! Glad you thought it was gorgeous and cozy.. It was funny when Robin told me you said the same title"Welcome to my home", as I did an half hour before she talked to you, so the title was set.. Thank ya!
I'm trying to get a perspective on the vanity--is it as short as it looks? What's up with that? It does look great though.
Funny that you ask about the counter behind my kitchen sink, because I took that picture today but just haven't used it yet.. There is more to come so stay tune..
ronnieray- Thank you so happy you enjoyed this part of my world..
Rita- You are welcome any time for coffee or tea. Oh! You have add in good music, we are listening to Jimmy Buffet right now. Yes the vanity has a lot of history of generations, looking into the mirror brushing their hair. (it is the original mirror and stool too)
Thank you! Come back again!
Momsacomic- I have even more then what I put in this post.. more to follow this one. My family has many generations of quilters, all whom done it by hand. I learned how when I was a little girl, barely able to reach the table. I just got away from it all when I had to work and raise my girls on my own, other then that I still know how. So happy you enjoyed the tour.. Thank you!
BoomerBob- The envision of the fireeye girl without the ballbat, and chain saw, goes a lot deeper then what is told in my stories. I could be Betty or Martha, but I like the ballbat and chain saw.. teehee.. Now OS is going to get a tour of what I am all about.. Glad you thought it was cool... Thank you
Jimmy- To me there is nothing like taking a piece that looks like crap and making it into a master piece. I have always taken care of the things I have, I was taught to cherish and value the things you have. Glad you enjoyed this.. come back there will be more.. Thank you
Bill- You should look into the refinishing the pieces of your mother's. You never know what you might have. The base of the vanity doesn't stand that tall about maybe 2' tall, the mirror is the tallest part of it. Like I said Robin helped me put it on the base today, because it does take two people.
Glad you enjoyed this post, there will be more.. Thank you
Mypsyche- You are welcome anytime to come stay awhile. Maybe I should just start a bed and breakfast. Teehee!!! Thank you
Thank you for sharing a peek into your home!
I do love the history behind so many of these pieces. Make sure you write it down for the future generations so it won't get lost. You never know anymore...
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next installment!
(Oh, maybe you should think about a B&B-I think you'd be perfect!)
Cool place you've got. Thank you for sharing these pictures.
I’m sure restoring and caring for these pieces is a labor of love.
Thanks for the invite!

Sounds like you have a great collection also, maybe you should do a post to show your collection off too, I know I would love to see it. Like I have said I have many more pieces to come and more stories to tell about them. I hope you come back for more.. Thank you
Mission- Welcome to my Home!! And you know I have told you that you are always welcome here.. smiles.. I used to hate the real butter we had to churn too. I just couldn't stand to eat it after churning it for hours. The history of every piece my girls already know the stories behind them, but I have photos of them in a fireproof safe and the stories behind each one. I am so glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour of my home.. Thank you {{HUGS}}
The owning a B&B is starting to sound really good right now.. SMILES.
Glad you enjoyed the post.. come back for more. Thank you

That's quite a story all by itself.
You've got some nice stuff there.
Dcvdickens- Hey Honey! So great to see you back around here, I have missed ya.. Glad you enjoyed the tour of my home. I don't have a house, it is an apartment, but none the less- it is HOME.

Penrose- Glad you enjoyed and thought my treasures beautiful. Yes I have treasured them for years. Hope you come back for the next tour.. Thank you very much..
MrE- Yes that is a one hell of a story all on it own. There are many stories I could sit and tell about every piece in my home. Robin has gotten a good look into the history of my family and a part of American history. Glad you thought them beautiful and nice.. Thank you for coming along for the tour, I hope you come back for more, because there will be more..
Cocaol- Welcome to my home! Glad you stop in for the tour and found my treasures beautiful. I love the coffee grinder too. I can still close my eyes, and hear the grinder going around and around, and the fresh smell of the coffee that came from it. It is a peaceful retreat to sit and look at the pieces in my home, and envision my family members using them, and the memories I have that go along with each piece when I was growing up.I hope you come back for the next part of the tour.. Thank you
Roy- SMILES!! So happy to hear that you were impressed with the ironing board that I made. I design the pattern for it also. I go to hobby shops and other places, see a shelf or something I like, take a close look at it, stop at the hardware store to pick up the wood, and then go home and draw the pattern by memory and make the pieces. Some I have around the house and some I have giving away as gifts or sold. Woodworking is my favorite hobby either refinishing or making something.
There is a lot of family history and American history in my home. Glad you came by for the tour and I hope you come back for the next parts. Thank you!!
Thank you!
Ostephanie- Hey Honey!! Welcome to my Home!! Coffee or tea? Glad to see you back around here, I have missed you.. Glad you enjoyed the tour of my home and found it peaceful.. the door is always open.. Thank you HUGS!!
Thank you
