My Little House: The Entry

Part One:

I recently had to move. I didn't really want to. It was time and the economy kind of forced my hand. I also lived 3 and a half hours from my family. The last year and a half  that I was away, I lost three people I loved very much. It felt like I didn't get enough time with them. So I moved home. I'm in transition at the moment. Can't wait to find a new home of my own.

In the mean time I will share pictures of my home in Marietta, GA. I loved this little house. I had lived in an apartment prior to this house. Then learned the value of buying your own place was that you can do anything you want with it. I had a blast!

Entry

The entry way is a short hall way. As you walk in, to the right is a stair case. To the left the kitchen. I worked in retail for many years, the table is the smaller of a pair of nesting tables I got when a store closed. I keep a stack of vintage suitcases underneath for added storage. The printers drawer shadow box was a gift from my grandmother. She had it hanging in her kitchen for many years. I loved it. When her daughters updated her home and took it down she gave it to me. Mini's and all.

Inexpensive bird plates

The plates were a do it yourself project I tried and loved. I saw pretty plates and such in stores, the prices were out of my budget. So I decided to make my own. I bought 4 large white saucers from Old Time Pottery. They were less than a dollar each. I used four different bird stamps and a ink made for non porous surfaces. Simple, easy and beautiful. I do suggest you experiment on paper before stamping your plate. Learn the technique and pressure you need, so you don't ruin your saucer.

I'll share my kitchen next time!
