So...I did some things in the schoolroom in an attempt to make the room more cozy and pleasing to the eye....this is the door way from the schoolroom into the dining room. I added the sign and the vine. :)
A cute sign from my aunt and uncle for Christmas and a picture of Madelyn around age 4 that my mom had taken....


A different angle of that side of the schoolroom to show the baskets I have been hanging up along the top of the room. I *love* baskets. They don't have to be expensive or "perfect"....just able to be used. I have different sizes for different things and when I need one, I just grab one (after getting up on a chair to reach, of course..hehe)....




Annnd....one more thing before I scoot off this computer and work on my knitting....I found a new book called "Cleaning Plain and Simple" by Donna Smallin. Oh my goodness...I love it! It is perfect for helping to know how to launder some things and make homemade cleaning products and how to get things to sparkle! The subtitle under the title on the book says: "A ready reference guide with hundreds of sparkling solutions to your everyday cleaning challenges." :) I have a link to the book on my right sidebar under the Books I Recommend *in case you want to check it out*!
Anyhoo....I better go. I want to get some knitting done before I head to bed! :) I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week!!! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Katy, I like how you cozied up the school room amd made it to look homey and not sterile. I can't wait to see pics of the candy party.
ReplyDeleteI know just what your talking about and you remind me so much of me! lol Everything looks so cozy and your home always shows how much you love it!
ReplyDeleteCute decorating! Your cottage sure does look cozy! Cute picture of Maddy.
ReplyDeleteCandy theme parties are cute!! My friend had a candy theme baby shower. I made her a diaper cake and added lined up Almond Joys to the bottom of the plate. She also had big glass vases full of candy that the guests could fill up a cellophane bag and take home as party favor. I'll email you some cute ideas.
