Hooked on decorating books...

A couple of years ago, I joined Homestyle Books. I'm so glad I did because I'm crazy about most of the books I've purchased from them. They have a great selection and the prices are really affordable. Although it's no longer available at Homestyle, here's one of my most favorites...


There are so many (750 to be exact, duh) brilliant decorating ideas in this beautiful book, that I can't share all the ones I love. So, I thought I'd share three things that I definitely want to do in the Old House.

I just adore the idea of using a dollhouse for a shelf. I already have an antique dollhouse that was my dad's in the 1940s. It's packed away in a box because the mice were gnawing on it so, unfortunately, I can't post a photo.

There is a doorway just like this in the Old House and I think these doors would be fabulous there.

I think high-gloss white paint would look really good on the floor of Old House porch.

  2. I think I joined that book club once, too! I have a couple of painting/gardening books from them, but ended up cancelling because I never had the time to use any of the ideas. :) They're on my bookshelf, though... BTW, LOVE, love, LOVE the dollhouse idea! I wish I had one that was an heirloom to use... but I may just go looking for one to make into an heirloom. :)
