doorbell cover.


Since we moved into our home, our old doorbell mechanism has been exposed. I have kept it covered with pretty wreaths for the Fall and Winter season so this Spring I was itching for a new idea. I did not want to buy a generic, plastic cover-I wanted something unique. I found this old frame at Goodwill, put a wallpaper remnant in for a printed background and pressed these vellum letters on top to say "there is no place like home." I am pretty excited about my new doorbell cover that I spent $1.99 on and a little elbow grease.

primitive chair in entry.



I am loving how this has turned out. This summer I bought this primitive, turquoise chair with no seat for a dollar at an estate sale. I bought the "World Book" to substitute as a "seat" for a dollar at the same sale. The antique mirror was my husband's grandparents and the new plant I found at a adorable shop in downtown Bay City last week. I love the simplicity of this display and everything about it is an example of my style: inexpensive, collected, unique and light/bright colors.
