HOME Life Is For Me

After two medical appointments on Monday, Husband and I went to lunch to eat an Italian meal at Paisano's.  Delicious salad, spaghetti, garlic breadsticks, and hot coffee. Pleasant time.  Left with a doggy bag to take home for another lunch.  My stomach will thank me later.






My Husband suggested we go to one of my favorite THRIFT SHOP  and I agreed.  See how easy it is to go along with a Husband?  Grins.

Looking for Blue Willow dishes, I spied a oak table painted grey that put ideas in my head.  Hum.  It was in such great shape with two leaves in it, I couldn't turn it down.  After we get the table set up at HOME, will show pics.  

My kitchen table at HOME has sentimental value to me and I plan to never give it away, but this table at the THRIFT SHOP was really nice and in great shape.  It doesn't wobble when using it.  My old one does.  IN BETTER SHAPE THAN MY KITCHEN OAK TABLE.  Hope to find upholstered dining room chairs in the near future for sitting.  That will be sooooo nice to say the least.

Husband looked the table over and pulled the leaves apart to discover that the table has appropriate gears that work well.  He asked if I wanted it and I thought for about 2 seconds....yes.  I'd like to have this.  The old oak one will hopefully go into a studio for my Husband.
~COMFY CHAIR~



Then like clockwork I spied an overstuffed club chair.  There were two of them with one already spoken for.  Hubby sat in it and went ahhhhh.  He hadn't told me that our temporary television chair at HOME had been bothering him.  We talked and said let's get it.  


HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH A $45 CHAIR 
IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE?


In a matter of a few minutes we were the owners of a club chair and a grey dining table.  So affordable that it was a joy to buy them.  


THEN I SAW THIS CUTE QUILT.





I picked up a quilt for little of nothing that smelled so fresh it made me keep sniffing.  It's in superb condition.  

The inside of the car had this fragrance all the way home.  SO refreshing.  This is one clean THRIFT SHOP.  

There hanging by the furniture was a sweet rug.  She's going HOME with me as well.  A small rug by Shaw Rugs.  Appreciate the bargains that become a treasure to bless our HOME with.  

BARGAINS can still be found.





We loaded the oak table in the trunk and into the back seat.  Husband knows how to disassemble things which comes in so very handy.  We traveled home, unloaded, took a break and returned to Topeka to pick up the comfy chair.  Drove HOME again and watched PBS Victoria and Mercy Street.

Hubby fell asleep in his new chair.  He was contented.  So was I.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.  GOD BLESS.
HOME Life is for me,

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.

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
