One Little Change at Sweet Bee Cottage

Much of my time lately has been spent helping my mom organize her new little cottage - although there does seem to be a lot of moving boxes back and forth.  Worker Bee has been wonderful to my mom and has even gone over there and helped her when I didn't have time.

Well,  lucky me, because Sewing Bee has moved to a much smaller home, she is getting rid of some of her furniture and Sweet Bee Cottage has been the lucky recipient of these pieces.  Although....truth be told....this doesn't involve a piece from my mom, but because of her this table was liberated from our bedroom.

We have just had a giant furniture shuffle!  I love it!

before

These chairs were originally at the kitchen table, but when I got Mom's dining room table, I moved my dining room chairs to the kitchen.

So the old kitchen chairs went to the living room.  And....they temporarily had these boxes as a "side table."

after - still need to accesorize

This sweet wicker table had been in the sunroom, then was my nightstand (and oh my it was waaaaaay too small for a nightstand - I was always knocking things off of it in the middle of the night - but it looked great and I was all about the cute for awhile),

this is where the table used to live

and now I've put it between these two chairs you see as you enter our house.  The chairs and table are all from Pottery Barn.  I love them and I wish they would bring them back!

Other changes are in the works......wait till you see what I found for a corner in my hallway!  Let's just say there will be quite a bit of painting furniture in my future.  Oh boy!!!

Aren't you delighted with little changes?  And I just love how fresh something looks when you just move it to a new spot.  Cheapest decorating around!  Gotta' love that!

Thanks so much for buzzing in!

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

I adored you when you first came to live at our house.  I was so grateful to Sewing Bee for finding you for me.  You looked so fresh and sweet at the start.  But, I say this with a heavy heart, it is time for you to go.  I'm not sure when this will happen, but I wanted to prepare you.  We had a good run, didn't we?  It's been eleven years.  (Holy Cow!  I can't believe I've had you for that long.)

I've been seduced.  It's hard for me to admit this to you and maybe we can blame the internet, but you just aren't as attractive as you used to be.  I keep seeing newer fresher colors and ideas on the blogs I visit.  Yes, we can blame the internet for this.  I am so sorry.  My friends don't understand how we can be coming to an end, but it's time.  They haven't lived with you for 11 years.

You should know that the new inspiration is already living here with us.  I've been keeping it in the closet for awhile now, but Worker Bee is getting on board and I need to bring it out in the open.  I've been buying it little trinkets all along now.  You'll always be in my heart and in lots of photographs.

It's not you, it's me.

I'll let you know when the final good-bye will be.  Thanks for being so understanding.  Please don't let the living room know about this yet, 'cause it's next.

P.S.  Want to see the new guy?
