A Window Peeper

Are you, like me, one of those

people that likes to take

walks at night and peek into

uncurtained windows to catch a glimpse

of life in someone else's home?

What makes another's house feel

so magical, so beautiful, so unique?

Do you like to do that?

C'mon...You KNOW you do!

Would you like to take a peek

into TPot's house?

Shhh...We are here for dinner

and I am sneaking around

taking pictures of her rooms..

Don't tell~

Here is her dining room

to the right of the foyer when you enter.

It's ever so lovely.

We'll start with the chandelier

which used to be bright brass

and gaudy as all get-out.

We like it toned down,

spray painted Heritage White

and dressed

with beaded shades.

Pretty cute, huh?

She has had this picture for a long time.

SweetCheeks calls it

Two Gurhls Kissing

That's our girl!This is the buffet that used to be

an old French Provincial dresser.

You can see it's rehab here.

Pffft..she needs to get SOMETHING

under that glass dome!

What IS she thinking?

Oh..maybe she has plans for it

later...hmmm...

Anyway, don't mention

it if you see her...

She might get kinda testy!Her dining room set was a luxurious

bargain-to-be-had

from her Uncle and Aunt

when they purchased a new set.

It is beautiful and next-to-new-

The little girls treat this room lovingly.

None of the girls ever write,

draw, glue or spit on this table...

at least while we are watching.

I hate spitters-don't you just

hate spitters?

On the back wall is a domed Jasper

china case...

the name which escapes me at

the moment...it's not a hutch..

it's not a china cabinet...

hmmm...it will come to me in about a week.

I got it from my good friend, Ruth,

when she sold some things to me.

I love my Ruthie..

She has always been so good to me.

It is "on loan" to TPot

until "someday"...

She just started to haul her Fall

decorations out..

and overlaid her table with a piece

of lovely old Fall fabric I had.
I love the way she puts things together.

And although I didn't get pictures..

shortly after this was taken..

the table was laden with dishes

and food...

the room was full of

family and friends.

After we sat down we opened the windows

and the brisk Fall night air

caressed us with magic fingertips

as we enjoyed our lovingly prepared

Harvest Dinner.

Now...if you are very good..

and promise not to spit out your vegetables

tomorrow I will let you peek into

TPot's Living Room.
