Goodies!

Been a busy week here at The Prim Colonial! I finished off the painting of the foyer....you might ask why it took so long....we have a two story foyer and it takes a lot of work to complete that job! Finally done, will take photos and post this weekend.






Here are two photos of some recent additions: First, the wonderful pair of sconces. Not sure just where they will go yet. Second, the lovely lamp I picked up at a thrift store a few weeks ago. I love these! Trouble is I have lots of lamps around that just don't have the right shades on them....and shades are hard to locate when you love prim! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I spent my day today tweeking, cleaning and laundry...what a nice treat that was, and I mean it!

Lastly, could not help but post this one of some familiar faces. How amazingly ironic! Does life imitate art or art imitate life? What came first the chicken or the egg, the cartoon or the fairy tale? Go figure! :)~~ Beth

  4. Can't wait to see the foyer! I love the sconces! How rare to have the pair. I have one of the same and love it. However, I can see yours on each side of a primitive portrait. : )

    Take Care, Janice
