Hurricane Sandy!

We just finished the dutch door on the front of the shed, when hurricane Sandy hit!

Thank goodness this tree did not hit the house or shed!

One of the reasons I have been slow in fluffing my house for fall is this little shed we have been building.  Thank goodness we are almost finished!  Just the doors, stairs and tweaking.

Dining room center piece, cloche decorated for fall with velvet artichokes and small books.

I love fall, I love the smell and the crisp air!  I usually like to decorate a little during this time and I do have  a few fall vignettes to share.  Above is the front porch by the door.  I decided to use pansies instead of mums this year for my flowers.  Pansies last a little longer here in Virginia. 

Yeah! Beautiful Oak Porch Floor

Sam Axton finished our floors today and I have to say he did a fabulous job!

We were going to paint but we can't cover this natural wood, and just

look at those mitered corners, it's a thing of beauty!

Thanks again Sam!

Now all Darling Husband and I have to do is sand, stain and move porch 

furniture back in.
