Moving Things Around in the Kitchen at 1515

A couple of weeks ago I showed you my Grandmother's Hoosier cabinet that my cousin Donna brought back home again.

So that meant changes things a little in the kitchen.

I love the kitchen at 1515

I have shown this before, the little girl is me with my
Grandfather, cousin Debbie and step Grandmother.

Notice the walls are yellow and there are red and white 

gingham checked curtains...I did not remember that.

we had to move the shelf, take out the radio cabinet.

The radio cabinet went to my bedroom, and I am working on that

and will show you an update soon.

moved the shelf and changed what was on it.

When I went back this weekend, I realized how much I liked the new look.

And I have so much more storage space!

Last weekend was more meetings for 

The Charleston Riot 150th Anniversary

we finally got our pamphlets and logo done!

Have a great end of the week.

June 6th

To some just a day,

to others a day never to forget.

I just want to thank my Great Uncle Harold

He was there on D Day, landing on the beaches of Normandy.

Our family was lucky he came home.

The twins I always show, it is their father.

There were so many Americans who did not come home

after that day.

Let us never forget

Constance Spry

My David Austin rose is full of blooms this year.

I wish that Constance Spry bloomed all year, but it only blooms in the spring

I had the trellis built so I could have a place to sit and be surronded by the

smell of the roses.

more pink

Sarah Bernhardt peony

along our driveway

And a Mama Robin update

she lets me get about 4 feet from her and seems to not be bothered by me

look someones eyes are open!

I have so enjoyed watching them on my front porch

Dad comes and bring worms, and with all the rain it has been a good buffet for them!

Happy Saturday

Stay safe, we had bad weather in St. Louis but no one was hurt.

Our Paris Bedroom

I have NEVER shown you any part of our bedroom.

I want it painted, it needs to carpet.

With our yearly anniversary trips to Paris, a few years ago that is how I decorated.

Thinking of all those past trips as Donna from My Shabby Chateau has whisked off to

Paris and Linda from A La Carte is counting down her days till she takes off for Paris.
By chance Ivy and Elephant is having a Parisian themed giveaway!

the colors are green, black and white

another wall holds postcards I bought along the Seine

candle holders above the bed

tassel tie backs for the lace curtains

you see there are tassels in the lace

scattered pictures that I have taken in Paris over the years

steps by Sacre Coeur

love this picture I took on our honeymoon

another honeymoon picture. The Champs Elysee was closed and the

French Flag is flying in the middle of the Arch De Triumph behind us

these pictures are all on our dresser

my favorite picture of Mr.

his first trip looking out our hotel balcony window

notice the frame has the arch de triumph?

And the Limoges pieces I have picked up over the years

Notre Dame

Eiffel Tower

Sweet hankie my Great Uncle brought back from WWII to my Grandma

a few little thrift finds picked up at Paris flea markets

Maybe we will go back someday soon

As you know Mr. has been struggling with his family business he owns.

They have been in business since 1921. Looks like he sold the building that 

houses his business but the new owner wants him to rent some space.

So I keep praying this happens, the best of both worlds...not worrying about

up keep, taxes etc. but still will stay in business with enough work for one

person to do in a small space.

It has been a very difficult 2 years.

Could better times be on the horizon.

I pray.
