Entry Way-AFTER (finally)!!

My dad (G'Pa Rowley) is the great craftsman behind this adventure! The beaded board is not paneling! It is 8 foot long pieces by 2 boards wide! He pains-takingly fit each piece until we had the MASTERPIECE you see here! I found these GREAT Audutorium Chairs about a year ago for a song in a Prescott Thrift Shop. I had NO IDEA what I was going to do with them at the time, but I LOVE the HARMONY they make now!!





I think the Star Fish in a vintage wicker baset is my favorite accessory!

I have had this ANTIQUE "Hall Tree" for 25+ years! In the Antiques World it is a NO-NO to paint beautiful wood, but i was ready for a REAL change, and I'm not a bit sorry!





I was on a very TIGHT BUDGET and needed to put it into the beaded board and paint. We were at Home Depot and found just the right price for these light fixtures ($30), but the color was ALL WRONG. They were a murky dark copper color, but I LOVED the style!! What'a girl to do! YEP--Spray paint!!!!

Halloween Treat bags!!!


Do you remember these? They remind me of grade school parties! You couldn't wait to see what kind of penny candy was inside. Everything is plastic & cellophane now days!!
