White Wednesday - Finally...pics of my white room

Hello Sweet Friends,

So what are you up to these days???

You already know what I'm up to ..........lol

Have a whole lot on my to do list,  and it seems to just

keep growing and growing......................lol.

But have gotten a lot more done the last few days!!

Have to tell you I am a bit perplexed and insensed.....

because we have been looking for a new set of flatware,

and Oh My Goodness...........you can not find anything

that is made in the USA.  Most of it is made in China,

found Oneida's is either from Indonesia, Viet Nam, 

 and mostly China, and at Market Store, not the whole

name, as I can't recall it right now,  they had some

made mostly in china and some from India, but did not

 say what it was made of.

Most of the flatware now is made with only Chromium

and no nickel,  which gives it the shine and the weight

from what I read.  Did find a few sets with Chromium

 and nickel but didn't like them, I had read several reviews

 on theWalmart site about the Better Homes and Gardens

flatware and had purchased a set I liked but once

I got it home realized, it was only made of Chromium 

and was made in China. Had forgotten to research

before I went looking the first time,  but after looking

in 8 stores, I haven't found anything I like as well as

that one,  and if we do find one we like it is made

with only chromiun and from china as well,  so guess

I am just gonna have to go with it.  No wonder there

is so much unemployment in our country,  this out

sourcing is just ridiculous.

 Will step off my soap box now!  lol

and on with White Wednesday!!

Will just show you my etagere shelf for today,  

and hopefully do the rest next week..........

We have had this shelving for over 34 years, and

I still love it today as much as the day I bought it.

When you walk in our front door it is practically 

the first thing you see..................

This is the bottom shelf on the left.

This adorable lil pumpkin you see here and that was in my

header picture was made by Becky over at Junk to Joy!

Made with plaster of paris,  and embellished with all the

cutest of Becky's creativity.  Just love it!

Picture taken from above.  Just in case you don't know,

you can click on any pic to enlarge it!!

Here's an even better picture of it,  love the leaf too!

This is done in a gradient map affect!

2nd shelf,  love this blue print pitcher,  on of my fav

finds from some years back,  and love this lil demitasse

cup,  I put a candle in it.................

More of my favs.....white creamers

Done with a posterized affect!

The whole shelf and nothing but the shelf!!  lol

Decided it needs some texture and happened to come up

on this lovely burlappy ribbon at Michael's and thought

it fit the bill nicely.  This pic loaded out of sequence,  it

was suppose to do the normal pic first.  Anyway,  it

looks great Posterized!

Here is what it looks like normally.  

and here,  great ribbon,  I really liked it,  so I went back

and got more,  as you will see next week.

This is the 3rd shelf on first side.

This is a seasoned birdhouse I got many moons

ago at a yard sale,  and it had an ugly finish on it,

so I sprayed it white,  and it gave it a great rustic

type finish.  It used to be embellished with pastel

dried flowers and ribbon,  but decided to take it

off last year,  for a change.  The birdie and nest

 was a gift from Becky as well.

Notice the lighting is different,  this is the real color

of the wall behind it.  One pic was taking with

flash the other no flash!

Liked the texture of the wire basket with the candle

That was a gift form my SIL Susan.

This is the top shelf on the right side.

Roses from my bouquet at Scott and Megans wedding.

Another pumpkin from Miss Becky,  this was from

last year,  love it too!

Gradient map affect,  I am really liking this affect!!

This is from the bottom shelves on the right side

A lil bit blurry,  like the reflection from the glass shelf.

White and pale pink potpourri, and some letter from an

old boggle game with the truth,  cause

Jesus does love you!!

Well,  hope you enjoyed some scenes from my new

white room, guess you can say I am not really Shabby Chic,

 I am more Modern Chic. More to come next Wednesday

 hopefully, have to say I have really been

 enjoying the new look.

Cause I really Love White!!!!

Hope you are having a joyful day,

  I am..........

heard from son today, and  my girl 

and her new hubby,  they are home,

 and coming over tonight,

 She said it was like a dream........
