9 Months Later

Nine months after our home was photographed for Country Sampler magazine the summer issue was released - it's fun to look back at how our home looked then because so much has changed.

The buoys are back on the fence and a tree now stands in place of the bench.

The red chairs have been painted blue, but surprisingly, the plate racks look much the same.

The kitchen shelves are still filled with blue and white dishes, but the display in the entry cabinet is not so colorful.

Considering my love or red, white and blue, it is surprising that neither of the bedrooms is done in bold colors right now.

The Adirondack chair holds the same pillow, but the basket of flip flops has been painted white and my cosmos plants are not so big and vibrant this summer.

There are a lot of fun ideas in this issue and they sent me a few extra copies so I'm doing a Giveaway.

Please leave a comment if you want your name included in the Giveaway.

In order to receive the package before July 4,

I'll draw a name on Wednesday, June 27.

And don't be surprised if there are a few patriotic items included in the package.
