Well, I'm almost all unpacked, most of my pictures hung (although this place is bigger than my other place here and I need about 20 more prints/wall decor to fill the spaces) and clothes hung.
I love this over-the-top chandelier, reminds me of one I saw in an Anthro store in San Fran once,
The guy we're renting from (he's a Prince-literally-in Germany, but of course there's no functioning royalty now, it's merely a title with perks, I'm sure) had this old french table in his basement. I asked if we could use it and he said yes. I want to put some cloche bells underneath and have a few indoor terrariums like I had in Philadelphia. This dining room is massive, I'm excited to entertain and have some dance parties. The Prince also has a HUGE grand piano he left for us, I'll have to take a pic sometime...And I have shelves to display part of my milkglass collection. Two of these fluted bowls and all the plates were my Grannie's so I am expanding her milkglass collection. I have a lot in storage back in the States, along with some other fun collectibles. When I go back to the States for Easter, I can't wait to go thrifting for some new goodies!
And for Lime-aid or limes for cervazas, or limes for tacos, or limes for margaritas, a lime tree right outside my front door! It's SO nice to have a garden again. I really missed that.
and I need something for the left hand corner of this cluster of some of my favorite prints and photos, any ideas?
I'm slowly decorating and adding some of our own stuff back in. This house is quite big, so there's a lot of nooks and crannies to fill, shelves screaming for vintage pretties and luckily some fun, funky old furniture left here for me to enjoy. If anyone has any good (affordable) websites for buying collectibles, vintage housewares and wall decor, please let me know!!
And lastly, our newest family addition, Mr. Lobo-Jangles (he was named Lobo at Doggy Camp, and I've always wanted a dog to named Mr. Bo Jangles, so now I call him Mr. Lobo-Jangles) Isn't he the cutest? They think he's part lab and part Aussie Shepard. I'm totally smitten. He's such a sweetheart. And look at those peepers!!
I have more crafty things later, but today is my first day with internet in 2 weeks, so little by little...Have a great weekend!
