Vintage and Cozy


Decorating trends come and go, and that's fine, but I'm sticking with
my own version of vintage and cozy.  Particularly since I can't get
out a lot because my cancer makes me immune compromised, it's
comforting to live in a cozy house filled with things we love.




Things I love like the color red.  Red just makes me happy, although
I will also say that I have become increasingly fond of sage green, and
the shade of green that one finds on vintage kitchen cookware.  I think
of that color as "grandma green".  It's super cozy too.




Our breakfast room has lots of touches of red with black accents.
I always gravitate towards red gingham. 




I really should fill this cookie jar with some freshly baked cookies.
I wonder how long it would take my hubby to find them there.  He
usually expects to find them in a vintage tin in the pantry, lol.




Happy Monday morning every one.  Oliver and I have a big day 
planned.  He was up with the chickens at 6:00 AM this morning,
full of kisses and cuddles.  He brightens up any morning and 
certainly mine!


Love,
Susan and Oliver

  3. Love your new header! And I agree with you about just wanting to surround yourself with things you love... trendy is not my style either... unless you consider vintage or traditional trendy... lol. I hope you had a wonderful day with sweet Oliver!

  5. Susan, I have always loved your style! Most trends leave me cold, as if the person doesn't know what she likes or how to express her personal style. Oliver is a doll baby! There's no companion more dear than a sweet pet. Take care...I pray for you daily (hubby also) and now Oliver.
