around the dining room...

I have struggled with getting the house back together after Christmas. Where to put everything, and the cleaning, oh the cleaning! The struggle comes from wanting to have a more minimal look to our home, and a minimal approach to our life. So that means edit, edit, edit...

This post is full of pictures so I am going to keep the banter at a minimum and let the photos do the talking for me.

OH, except to tell you how much I love this oil painting that I found at a garage sale years ago for only $5.! I know, right??? Why was anyone getting rid of this awesome guy?
ok, I'm done now, back to the pictures...

These French linen lavender heart sachets are now available in the shop The Old White House

I should have turned on the fireplace for you!

I couldn't get myself to put the twinkly lights away, and I'm so glad that I didn't. They bring such peace and happiness to the room. I don't know how long things will stay like this because I haven't been able to get out to the barn to bring in some of my favorite treasures! We have a whole lotta snow over here...

see the deer tracks on the frozen river?

Captain loves the snow! I hope that you are staying cozy warm these days!
now, on to the bedroom and then the kitchen, and the living room could use a makeover too...
Thanks so much for stopping by! love, t.xoxo
