The Moss Patch

Some exciting news...my mom and I have opened a booth at our favorite antique mall!

Goodlettsville Antique Mall has gobs of fun things to look at and I have brought home treasures from there plenty of times.  We are constantly bringing a variety of crafted, repurposed, and antique home decor and furniture items.  Come visit often at The Moss Patch for an update on our finds.

That was my shameless plug..so far things are going really well.  It has been fun to have an outlet for larger items that just don't travel well to our craft shows.  And we definitely have different styles, so there will probably be something for everyone.  Mama, aka Trudy, is more refined and polished, while I am more on the shabby side.  Somehow, it all goes together. 

On this blog, I would like to share more "life" and less "stuff".  I haven't posted in quite a while because the blog's "identity" was so scattered.  We will see how this all goes.

I have also found Pinterest and gotten quite absorbed.  Do you have that problem? 

Come visit my house!

I am linking up with Transforming Home house tour party, my first linky thingy. I am delighted to welcome you to my home. We really live here...that means that you probably won't see huge, all encompassing photos because I moved the "pile" out of camera sight.

These are photos in my living room. Can you tell we have a gamer in the family? And we have the piano that really has no other home and we must keep even though no one plays it because...?

This is one tidy spot in my bedroom. I have tan walls, lots of white, some kinda denim-ish blue and a few pops of my fav, red. My bedroom is one of those projects that has taken so long that some things are worn out or out of favor. My red chaise is in this room.

My open kitchen/dining room is very casual country. The far wall is dark sage-y green beadboard which matches the backsplash in the kitchen area. To the left is my simple china hutch. I enjoy changing the display on the plate shelf, on the light side now.

And last, I thought I would share my laundry closet. It is painted a fairly bold aqua, with some red (of course). I am loving my machines, by the way. They are LG. I have a folding platform on top that we hinged for easy access if necessary.
