...once again...
...it's all in the details...
...visualize a tiny house built in 1949...
...two tiny bedrooms...
...and one really tiny bathroom...
...but the real bonus was...
...are you ready...
...a carport...
...one day the carport became a room...
...just a room where little boys played drums...
...and watched television...
...the little boys grew up...
...and moved away...
...to homes of their own...
...finally after a few years...
...it became a beautiful white room...
...with delightful cozy walls...
...filled with all sorts of vintage items...
...there is an old kitchen drawer...
...found at a garage sale...
...which hangs on the wall...
...filled with little white pitchers...
...accented by a background of vintage music...
...flash cards..
...from days gone by...
...and a rusty, chippy grate...
...that used to surround a stove pipe...
...built-in shelves are at both ends of the room...
...lots of old books...
...but also photographs of my husband's family...
...and sweet little white dishes...
...the walls are adorned with pieces of wonderful old...
...architectural embellishments...
...this one came all the way from Texas...
...lace, iron, vintage book pages...
...candles, beautiful textures...
...all contribute to making it such a cozy room...
...Verna Odille Hohl Nelson...
...was my husband's mother...
...she was a real treasure...
...and is such a charming little girl in this photograph...
...one year I learned how to solder lead around two pieces of glass...
...the finished charm hangs down a birdcage...
...which is filled with silver, books, and real nests...
...this is one of our favorite rooms in our home...
...stay turned...
...I hope to share more of this delightful space...
"Home is the nicest word there is."
