Little Red Guest House.......

This is our little red guest house.......

Small but comfortable......
Looking out our bedroom window in the spring.....

The living room settee was bought for $20.00 at a porch sale....I had it recovered in tapestry several years ago and it still looks great.....the two blue chairs were rescued from the curbside, the little white table a $5.00 purchase from a friend, the chest a gift from my Daddy when I graduated from high school. It received a new face lift with Queen Ann legs, and new hardware.......
This distinguished fellow was found in a thrift store....my husband's forefather came from Scotland so I decided he is a good representation for our family......He reigns at the little house as Lord of the Manor........
The Northwood Christmas tree.......
The gentleman's wardrobe was bought when I was a child to hold my clothes...the Bentwood chair a $2.00 buy, the little Nantucket table bought at a thrift store.....
A vintage Santa wreath.......
I was in a variety store and saw this Santa in the trash can...I asked about it and bought it for $1.00.......He had a broken hand so I glued some Holly on it........
I bought the goose on wheels at an antique mall for $8.00......
Empty gift boxes.......
A tea cart bought for $40.00......

I bought the candle lantern in TN for $1.00 several years ago....later, I saw one either like it or very similar for several dollars......

A rescued mirror frame sprayed white with red and white Willow dishes..........
My $1.00 white French Provencial chest painted black....I faux marbled the top and sprayed the hardware gold.....
The mantel with an original oil of an antebellum scene...a $10.00 purchase. I've seen prints of this picture....


The chair belonged to a dear lady who has passed away. The knitted throw has a label 'Nantucket'......It came from a thrift store.......

A print..........
Black and white toile...............
A battery radio drop leaf table bought for $2.00. The man I bought it from said it can be repaired.......
Lowboy chest I bought when I won a shopping trip.......
A highboy I bought in a thrift shop......the two chairs were 75 cents each.....
My animals bought when I was very young....years ago we covered everything that wasn't moving with calico.......
A letter my twin granddaughters wrote to us when they were very young........
Grandson drew wanted to give me something one Mother's Day...in his little hand he had a quarter......one of the best gifts I've ever received........
Bombay plate caddy with Redbird dessert plates....

Double jelly cabinet......
My Daddy's parent's cupboard....
I saw a wreath like this in a tea shop for $50.00....I made my own.......
A yard sale pitcher....once when I was serving dessert to ladies, one of them asked me if I knew the yellow pitcher was an antique......she had one like it that belonged to her grandmother.....

A 50 cent round old platter........
This vintage cabinet was in my Mama's kitchen when I was a little girl......
The kitchen....the pretty lace square cloth is actually plastic .....the rooster picture was painted years ago when I painted.....the green chair usually is in the living room.......the blue, child's youth chair came from a thrift shop....
The bath room.....another one of my paintings.....

A sewing machine cabinet holds a lamp........well, that's the little red house.....I had the guest book back at the beginning for you all to sign but somehow it got deleted.......thank you for visiting with me........
