I am late for 3 or more Tuesday but posting anyway. I had painted this curio a few weeks back prior to my move, and I finally got to hang it up and put my things in it. It's on the wall in the bedroom between my bed and the window, and I'm planning to put a chair under it with a nice reading lamp. It's holding a few of my treasures. On top is a picture that hung in my room as a child, and a set of figurines that my brother won at a carnival game when we were teenagers.
I have several miniature tea sets that I had collected or given to me over the years, a little ceramic bear having tea that I got from my mom, and a collection of cut glass perfume bottles. I have quite a few perfume bottles that mom started me collecting, and these are some of the prettiest ones.
I love my new curtains reflecting in the glass from the curio.
Below is the server that I had painted last week, it has found a purpose not only for storage but as a breakfast bar, holding my cereal canisters, fiber bars, etc., where they can be picked up on the run out the door in the morning. Though I have a LOT of "stuff", this looks so bare to me without my pictures hung! I really need to take some time off work and paint so I can finish "moving in". But this is the week we are moving to a new office at work, so I am too busy with that to take time off. Hopefully soon!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a nice mid-week, everyone!

Love the curio and all it's treasures. Aren't you just having a blast making everything pretty and homey?
Try not to work to hard with that work move. Hugs!
Tracy, you have such a nice collection, I love those perfume bottles, and tea sets. Your server looks great, and I love all the canisters on it.
You need to get some rest from all of the work & moving you have been doing!!
Hi, Tracy!
Wow!Your home is really coming along. Your dining room is very cozy! I love to see more picture of your decorating,but I think you need a vacation from all these hard work!!

Hi Tracy! Oh, everything is coming along nicely! I have that same little cabinet and it's still in the mahoghany stain. This makes me want to paint it! I love your little treasures inside.
Be a sweetie and thanks for popping in to see me,
Shelia ;)
I can send the door to door roofer over. You would most likely be sweet, explaining that your roof is brand new. Me, well, I was downright nasty. Sad thing is, I hired a roofer a few weeks later-one who didn't come calling.
Your house is looking beautiful. The curio is so pretty.
Those little perfume bottles are adorable. I love all your little girly touches. Thank you for sharing.

Tracy,
It is fun to follow along and see you working on your new place. I love your collection of perfume bottles, and the cabinet is the perfect place for them. The photo with the curtain reflecting in the glass is a really nice one! Wishing you well. ~Cathy~
I love Antimizer bottles, they are so hard to find here...lucky you.

Hi Tracy! How's your new home coming along! Thanks for popping in to see me and you're so right! What was I thinking? I should have had a fish jug out here! ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Tracy,
I just love your curio cabinet. You did a great job painting & distressing it. Your childhood treasures have a wonderful home up on top!! And I adore the perfume bottles. I really have never seen them in my fleatiquing excursions. Any hints?
The breakfast bar is a wonderful idea and it goes with your dining room chairs really well. I think you are doing a wonderful job settling in to your new home. I have been in my house for 23 years and I'm still fiddling with it!!
I want to ask you to stop at my blog when you have a chance. I have an award for you in my last post. You will need to copy and paste the award thingy from my sidebar to yours.
Have a wonderful week! :-D
xoxo

Love your treasures and the special meanings that it holds. Little things, like the reflection of the curtains in the glass are the charm that makes a house a home.
I love it all.
I just signed up to follow and would love to have you come by and do the same.
