I have been talking about this green beauty for some time, (Antique Green Desk). I finally brought it home. My sweet hubby, with a little push, paid it off at Aunt Elsie's and brought it home on my birthday. I want you to look close at the bottles, green and cobalt blue. Am I being brave? This is going to be by new additional color in my living room and entry. I will be looking for the perfect chair to sit at my desk.
My grandmas room is coming along real good. I'll show you when it's all finished. Look what I found in my storage room. My grandmother Allred's house was built in Ephraim Utah in the late 1800's and it was torn down in the 1980's. Angles were watching out for me and I received these two cornices off the front and back porches. I can remember coming and going many times at her home. They are the original paint. Should I leave them alone or touch them up with more paint?
The cup and saucer was Grandma Allreds, my mother was holding out on me. The little pitcure and saucer were Grandma Jarretts.
AWEEEEEEEEEEEE! I feel so good to have history around me.
Love that desk! It's soooo cute--and I love the woodwork off your grandmothers house, what a treasure! I don't think it would hurt to paint them, but they look cute the way they are too. Have fuN!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great color to have in your home! I love it. Also love those cornices, they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful to have those things...I would leave then as they are..it means more, seems more hers..I don't know, whatever you do will be right! :D
ReplyDeleteCindy, you are so creative. The desk is darling and I love the decorations you have used. The wooden arches are beautiful. I think you should paint them, they will still be full of history. You are designing up a storm!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting the desk in time for your birthday. It's beautiful and I love the blues and greens you've chosen to do the room up in. So bright and pretty. Love all the vintage glass you showed from the store. Your weekend with the granddaughter's looks like it was loads of fun for all. Happy day to you! :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blessing for you and for your kids. Family history is so important. I am finding that more and more in my stay in Nauvoo.
