The new look in your foyer is great! I'm so glad you used that window mirror in another spot, because I luv it! But I could not ever have a mirror reflecting anything in my kitchen (I am not a neat cook), so I know just what you mean. That picture you hung is so pretty. Great job. laurie

Hi Dot, how you doing? I break design rules all the time, i do what i like and what feels good to me. Im not so sure you are actually breaking a design rule because they say not to hang a mirror unless it reflects something that you think is lovely. Your home is beautiful, and you wouldnt know it was small, so many pretties to see.

When you mothings around, people say.Is that NEW? They just didn't notice it before,that way you get a new look and it didn't cost a dime. Great job on the NEW LOOK! Kathy

Dearest Dot, can you forgive me for visiting so infrequently lately? Well, you'd better since you do the same thing to me! LOL
I think I'm more of a picture above the foyer table kind of gal. That's what I have hanging now in any case.

Your house may be small, but it looks like it's got a really nice, workable layout!

Hi Picket! I think your house is gorgeous no matter what you do to it. I am glad you like the stuff I sent. can't wait to see what you do with them. Glad you like my homemade card. I was too cheap to get a store bought one. LOL!...Christine

Dot your house may be small but it makes up for it in character and sweetness! I just noticed that sweet little bird on your tablescape- love it! Every time I come over I see something different!

2009-06-17T19:04:09.567-04:00

Oh Girl I have been breaking the mold for years and so far I am doing OK!! LOL

I think the rule with mirrors that comes first is - make sure they reflect something purty! So you actually are following the rules!! See and you didn't evwen know it.

Besides Dot, EVERYTHING you do in your home looks amazing. No matter hwo many times you tweak or move or switch out something, you do it right!!

hugs, Linda

Hi Miss Picket. I agree that the picture is very pretty there. I always admire the paint color that you have. It's such a soothing pretty backdrop to all of your pretties!

I am missing blogging right now because my good computer is sick. Just visiting on my son's computer. :)

2009-06-17T16:59:56.931-04:00

Your foyer looks wonderful! I have a mirror in mine, but it reflects a shelf with pretties on it, so it works. I esp. love your last pic that tablescape, I just can not get a table to look like that as hard as I try, you just have the magic touch! Sue

2009-06-17T15:42:50.560-04:00

Hi sister Picket!

I love what you did in there!! I used to always put a mirror over mine too, but because there's window in this house, I broke my habit by accident LOL

love you,

Dot you are quite the tweaker! Love the picture above the table and the mirror at the front door, looks so nice! I love the views of your house, I feel like I'm walking right beside you!
Not much happening here except it looks like Butch may be laid off, we filed for unemployment in the meantime! Rian, rain, and more rain, thats whats been happening here! Its gonna be a cool and wet summer I hear! Amelia fell running thru my bedroom today and has a huge booboo on her chin! All her booboos have been at my house!! I hung some birdhouses in the tree today and put out birdfood in the feeders, and now its raining! Gotta go sweetie, have a great day! xoxoxo

2009-06-17T13:16:00.339-04:00

I absolutely love your cozy home. You claim that your house is small, but it can't be! It is so full of LOVE and JOY, I'm sure it must be HUGE!

Can't wait to see your next post - and I "STALK" your blog until there is a new one. :)

I don't have a mirror in my foyer, but have a beautiful fruit and grapevine wreath over my marble-top chest. I change out the items on the chest top for the seasons, but there is a small lamp on there that stays all the time.

THANKS for inspiring us EVERY SINGLE DAY. You make us better people! We decorate better and feel our spiritual side, too. So ... THANKS!

2009-06-17T13:06:00.963-04:00

I don't have mirrors anywhere except my bathrooms and the back of my curio has a mirror in it. I don't like to be catching glimpses of this saggy, baggy, old soul. I feel younger and more attractive than the mirror says I am, LOL!! I don't necessarily follow any decorating molds at all. I just do what makes me feel comfortable bz after all, it's my home isn't it? LOL!
