It's easy to add all the colour you long for and still look great when the background is neutral. All the items you love simply pop out while the neutrals of the walls and floors hold everything harmoniously together. This home is full of flea market and garage sale finds. I wonder if you like this style. Come and see.


Wicker sofa and rustic and beach-theme accessories. I love the pillows and rug and the enamel painted pot for flowers.

Close up of the peonies. I'm sure blogger friend Jami would love them.


Traditional furniture mix with painted pieces, granny's foot stool and the old door leaning against the wall is an unusual way to balance off the decor.


Metal chairs around a distressed harp-style table entered the scene. The window frame matches the door against the wall of the previous photograph.


Ccolorful accessories in every room.


Family pieces including the little-girl tea set on the top shelf mix with the homeowner's collection of red-and-white transferware.







This old bicycle serves as a flower pot holder.
