Decorating On The Prairie: Metalwares



Hello out there in blogland!
Time for "DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE".
We're off to a great start in the year 2012.
PTL no colds so far, but
I have to catch my breath when I think about it being a new year.
It's here.

2012!  2012! 2012!

Mercy sakes.....it's 2012.  I just said that.  Corny huh?
Okay, onto decorating.

I have been thinking about what to accomplish this new year or at least attempt to change some things. 
Thinning through my wardrobe.  Every day in January a clothing article gets pulled and placed in a bag to take to a ministry.  
That will be 31 articles by the end of the month.
Planning on organizing the cellar after new shelves are built.
Dishes beware....you'll get stacked, packed and marked.

Back to the present day.
COLLECTIONS are a part of Home Haven.
On this wooden shelf that was made from the top of a dresser mirror frame turned upside down is a grouping of metalware. 

At Christmas some of the pots had sprigs of greenery in water in them and others had some candy canes.  
QUICK DECORATING TIPS.
For now here's a look at one of my collections.

Do you collect collectibles to make collections???
I confess.....i do.
yep....i sure do.

GOD BLESS YOU THIS NEW YEAR and especially this very day,
~Deanna~

I don't collect too many things. Only a few. I'm trying to declutter since taking down Christmas decor. Gave tubs to GW and things are feeling lighter around here.
Thanks for visiting me today!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
