Now that the majority of the house is painted and I have become more comfortable living in it, I am able to find new potential with different accessories. It is often frustrating to want to pull together a whole room in one day. It takes patience to collect just the right things. I am reaping the rewards of waiting to find the right thing…and enjoying the process…

Old items that were taken down from different rooms are given new life {I love the look of my butterfly plates now hanging from a ribbon—gives a girly feminine feel}…sea shells are revived to bring in some earthiness without being too beachy.

Antique finds {like this old camera from my father in law} continue to tell our story…and giant blown up photos {like this one of us when we got engaged} remind us of the life we are living…I moved all our movies and cookbooks out of this hutch to display all my pretty serving dishes in a more accessible location…

Collecting one of a kind objects makes shopping trips so fun…I found these key hooks at Marshall’s…
