I'm giddy with anticipation to receive my copies of the wonderful winter themed book "Comfort & Joy" by antiques collector,dealer and owner of When Pigs
Fly, Dawn Williams. Dawn has toured homes throughout the Midwest and
the South that feature decor in the Farmhouse, Primitive and American
Country antique style. Throughout this book, Dawn shares beautifully
curated homes, stories, and holiday traditions. </div>

My dear friend, Dawn Williams of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhenPigsFlyAgain?hc_location=timeline">When Pigs Fly Again</a>, has been working hard on a book titled "Comfort & Joy" which she is publishing and will be released this Fall. I am very honored that my home will be one of several country primitive homes featured. I was thrilled today to see this picture on her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhenPigsFlyAgain">Facebook</a> page especially since I haven't seen any of the pictures yet!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was looking at my previous post featuring my 'white' living room, I noticed that the pictures were dull and yellowy. I realized the reason was that all my curtains and shutters were closed. The windows face west, and we have to keep the blinds and shutters closed to avoid extremely hot sun. It's hard enough to keep the house cool in our 90 degree weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this morning I opened the curtains, blinds and shutters and took more pictures.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much better! </div>

Mine is a simple Christmas this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of fresh greenery, some purchased and other greenery is from the woods (well, not really deep woods....I was able to gather fresh pine from a friend's home in St. Augustine, and cedar and arborvitae are from local bushes). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We purchased a smaller tree this year as it was <strike>cheap</strike> inexpensive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We put it in a vintage Dutch tulip gathering basket to add a little height.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The decorations are simple....wild grapevine for garland, local pine cones, white berry wreaths and light green hydrangeas.</div>

Be sure to stop by and check it out, and also stop by the owner, Sharon's Blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was so excited when I learned I had won! Yeahhhhh </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
I had so much fun shopping, but it was so hard to choose amongst the many things on my (want list). It took me a few days, so here's what I decided on. I am very happy with my choices.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm redecorating my guest room and this neat bucket with vintage style and a bird, is just perfect in the room. I'm showing a few pics.....when I get the entire room finished, I debut it in a post!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0tPwIMF60222rcc6Di6GXvzHw1u0mACbPptaQp9tIrK0KgDk9F93HGJ7AkLU-_A0Qst7rxUgHfNU-sW64LOH_np3q5qvyYScgbigXXa5Xq2TpI0MGvcr-4IrXjc6lh1X8A_TIQO8Ofij/s1600/bathroom+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0tPwIMF60222rcc6Di6GXvzHw1u0mACbPptaQp9tIrK0KgDk9F93HGJ7AkLU-_A0Qst7rxUgHfNU-sW64LOH_np3q5qvyYScgbigXXa5Xq2TpI0MGvcr-4IrXjc6lh1X8A_TIQO8Ofij/s320/bathroom+026.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the bedding I'm working with. It is a pattern from Pottery Barn a few years back. I found it on Ebay and immediately knew it was perfect!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I've used vintage french ticking to enclose this screen-less cupboard. It adds interest, function and texture. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkysBUqTErkBOh7TP9ExQ6KJfcTLJJzvMsQkWj0ILOTETW9Hn0y2MfSe3vRnTeddidALjrn4WVhi7xc6lMd0kB7PftMUxW1B5dgFnUOM4pXYIj2Q0_2dyFu70pPPiLsGsW6hwKhawXk1Fm/s1600/bathroom+029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkysBUqTErkBOh7TP9ExQ6KJfcTLJJzvMsQkWj0ILOTETW9Hn0y2MfSe3vRnTeddidALjrn4WVhi7xc6lMd0kB7PftMUxW1B5dgFnUOM4pXYIj2Q0_2dyFu70pPPiLsGsW6hwKhawXk1Fm/s320/bathroom+029.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm making linen curtains which are just about finished, and need a little more tweeking here and there.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm also trying to decide if I want to paint the antique bed white (I think this would be a good place to try Annie Sloan Chalk Paint). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The next item I decided on is this great galvanized shelf with hooks.....check out the vintage appeal!</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is perfect for my bathroom (also under construction) as I'm using galvanized accessories. I'm also going to attempt to paint the countertop as I was inspired by Laura from 52 Flea. Check out her post </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://52flea.blogspot.com/2011/08/lake-kitchen-progress.html">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
