Deanna At Mary Carol Garrity's Table



What the Docent told me didn't change my feelings one bit.
She said the name of Mary Carol's Sister-In-Law is Deanna.

SOoOOoooo the Name Card wasn't for me?

I felt right at HOME and truly WELCOMED 
at Mary Carol Garrity's THANKSGIVING Table!



The Thanksgiving MENU is perfect.


Husband, Daughter, Lil Miss and I went to Atchinson, Kansas for Mary Carol Garrity's Autumn Open House.  Her House is a Greek Revival structure.  Knowing that my Husband more than likely would not be overly excited to see the decorations, I persuaded him to come along to see the architecture.  


  What a beautiful House.  Once inside it was like being Home.  Very comfortable.


First, let's take a look at The Dining room.











A few years ago, I did not know about Mary Carol and her Atchinson, Kansas decorated Mansion that she opens to the Public to view.  Her fabulous Home Interiors Shoppe, Nell Hill's is a big deal.  Came across her as I was surfing the web and today, I AM A FAN. 

I have to return to Nell Hill's when it isn't an Open House.  So many HAPPY SHOPPERS that it was difficult to see everything she has to offer for sale.

Hope you enjoyed.  
I sure did,

I've been eager to see photos of this truly beautiful home. One of my favorite architectural styles. Many pretty things, but I believe the light fixture with the pine cones was just perfect. I know you enjoyed your time here. I believe the place card was for you too. Did you see one for Debbie?

If it wasn't 10-11 hours away, I would so have been there. I love her dining room, especially all that amazing molding! Thanks so much for posting this tour, Deanna! It was great!

I've heard about this place but have never visited. Thanks for the tour!!

Deanna said...

So good to hear from all of you. Glad you commented.
Very sorry, Debbie, I saw no Debbie Name Cards, but I'm sure one could be added! That would be such fun to dine there.

Candy, We would have had such fun touring the mansion and sharing what we thought of this beautiful place. Gathering ideas is heart warming.

Thank you all for visiting.

I am planning to visit her stores all the way from kentucky in November any tips?

Beeutiful By Design,
Howdy from Kansas!

Glad you came by my blog and commented about Mary Carol Garrity's Open House. I think you'll enjoy her beautiful mansion. Wear comfy shoes. Go a little early before the doors open.

You can either park your car in the neighborhood and walk up to the porch and wait till the doors open. You'd be one of the first to enter the house. If you ride the bus from the store, the bus is very comfortable and runs about ever 15 minutes. Makes for a very fun time. Also there a tent set up on her property that sells similar items that she is showcasing in her house.

Nell Hills (Store) will be crowded the day of the open house. I have to go back and look when it's not a open house. Much to see and get wonderful ideas also beautiful things to purchase.

I haven't been to her Kansas City Store, but from the pictures I see, it is wonderful.

Hope all goes well,
d

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.

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
