Fall...

It was a beautiful Fall day here in New England!

I went from being busy having so much fun this Summer glamping to being busy getting ready for our

Bittersweet Weekend at the

Wrentham Country Store!

All the fun starts this Thursday with a

Ladies Night Out from 6-9 pm,

and continues Friday through Sunday,

10-5 each day!

Since I've been working so hard getting ready for the show, I treated myself today...

Sshh...don't tell Jim...he won't even notice!

I'm off tomorrow to find some baby boos for the Shop and for my home.

My glamping season isn't over quite yet but I am ready to get back to blogging (I hope people will remember me!).

My fellow Shop Girls are working hard too and I can't wait to see what they create!

I'll be sharing here soon so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!

vintage fall market weekend 2014...

Last weekend was our annual

Vintage Fall Market

at the

Wrentham Country Store.

The shop looked amazing all decked out for Autumn!

I thought I would share some photos with you from opening day...

I am sad to see Summer go but seeing all these wonderful displays has made me want to decorate my house for Fall.

I actually did a bit today which I will show you next week when I share my living room makeover.

If you would like to see more from opening day of our Vintage Fall Market, please check out the shop's Facebook page here and my Facebook page here.

Thanks for stopping by!!

den makeover reveal...finally...

This beautiful old frame finally made me get my act together and take some photos of my recently made over den...

I just love the finish ~ white, grey, a hint of pale blue with some dark wax imperfectly applied...

It's been leaning here and there in the room waiting for me to decide if I wanted to keep it or bring it in the shop.

I'm so glad I kept it...

Of course it would work in one of my favorite spots in my home...

Don't they say that if you buy what you love, the pieces will work together?

I love the way all my vintage whites pop against my grey walls now...

There are still a few things left to do (like paint the front of the keyboard drawer on the desk) and I would like to find something to hang over the desk (like a really cool vintage sign)...

Oh and do something with all those computer wires! Jim used the last of the salvage wood he found by the side of the road and made a "door" to lean in the corner to help with that. I would like to put something on the floor in front of it (any suggestions?) and I am thinking about hanging my favorite vintage mirror that started my mirror collection on it...

I love that Jim repurposed the desk with salvage wood and I also love the old desk chair I found junkin' this summer down in Plymouth...

The other side of the room holds the biggest changes in the room. I changed out the mantel mirror for an old beauty I had been coveting at the shop for a while...

I also changed out the love seat I had there with two chairs from Target as well as new pillows from Pier One...

I am still using my Mom's table that I shared with you in a sneak peek last month...

Here is the room looking in from the living room...

I am very happy with the way the room turned out!

I am in the home stretch of getting ready for the Wrentham Country Store's annual Vintage Fall Market Weekend so I promise to share the living room reveal after the show.

And, you know I'll do a post or two on the show itself!

For now, here is a little peek into the living room...
