New Wizard of Oz Entry

Yes, I know my collection has been in the entry before. Yes, I know I'm crazy for moving it again. But I LOVE it now! On a side note, please excuse the stacks of books, cat toys and can of paint in the room :) I love how my new rug brings it all together and I got it at Big Lots for only $20!

Here is a closer look at the big hutch.

And now let's take a peek inside it, shall we?

Here is another hutch on the opposite side of the curtain.

Here is the curtains covering the french doors between the hutches. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Here is the green hutch I kept because it fit the space I had available and my apple tree.

 And it's contents. I don't like how it's squished inside there and will eventually do something about that.

 This is under the stairs and beside the green hutch.

 This is at the foot of the stairs

And there you have it!

The Red Living Room

So it was mentioned to me (thanks Nancy) that I forgot to mention that one day I couldn't stand my living room being the color it was anymore, so when my husband went to work, I painted it..........RED! So without further ado, here it is.

The ever changing table

So one day I was out at a thrift store and found this little table and chair set for $19.99 and it came home with me.

Chuck sanded the ugly textured I have no idea green off of it and painted it to match the rest of the table.

Now that I look back at these pictures, it's funny to see my ladder back chairs blue when now they have been red for so long! Anyway, when we lived in this house I had a formal dining room and a kitchen nook so I had plenty of room. Now that we bought the big yellow house, I have no dining room at all and a small kitchen but I can't seem to give up either table. So the enclosed porch back room has become the laundry room on one side and dining room on the other side.

And this little table has recently taken up residence in my kitchen since I can leave the sides down for room if I want or put them up for more than 2 people to sit at if needed, although the chairs have been stored away.

And yes, it did turn black for a while. It was chalkboard. I thought it would be a fun homework table while I was watching my nephews. But since they have now gone, it was time for yet another change. It took a LOT of work for Chuck to get the paint off, but he finally did it and the end result is beautiful.
