Just for Me...

All the decorating I do in our home, (and that's a lot!!) one could argue that it's all for me, especially Terry. However, my recent redo is definitely for me. I decided that I hated my laundry room; for more reasons than most women hate their laundry rooms! No, this was a deep hatred; that room was messy, unorganized, a little bit dirty, and very ugly. I mean there was nothing of ascetic value in there. So, I decided to do something about it. With just two days and $10....I went from this...










To this...









It's certainly still a laundry room...but now it's just a little bit prettier!

My Heart Stopped....

As Terry and I were taking a routine trip to "The Ray", or otherwise known as, Ray of Hope today....I found this...YES, you guessed it, I had to have it...for the mere price of $1.99 (for the lamp).


These I saw after I had checked out BUT I had to have them and they were only $.59 each. Terry KNEW these gems were there, but didn't bother to tell me, of course, he says that he was going to tell me before we left...



I couldn't wait to get them home!!





Oh, it was a good day for "Vintage Hoda"!!

All Grandmothers Beware...

I have recently discovered an absolute love and obsession for vintage Home Interior. Yes...that stuff that everyone had hanging on their walls in the 1970's...yep, love it!! I recently shared this love at our Sisters meeting on Tuesday, so I decided to share a small sampling of my collection...really small sampling! I found out the The Home Interior Company was founded in 1957 by Mary Cowly and by 1962 the company had made it's first million. Ms. Cowly wanted to provide women with an opportunity to make extra money without taking them away from their families. Warn your Grandma's if I come to their house their "Vintage Home Interior" isn't safe around me! Anything from the 1960's or 1970's I go GAGA over!
