~ A Before & After ~

Good day, lovies!

I hope that you all had a great holiday weekend!

It was a wonderful weekend here at Heaven's Walk ~
Thanksgiving with our kids and grandkiddos,

lots of yummy food,

lots of laughter,

and lots of full tummies.

We were ALL feeling turkey over-load
and ready for a nap after dinner ~
even little Maizie...

dreaming about Christmas, of course.

(*sigh*.......she's such a reindeer wanna-be.)

So, to keep my little girl happy,
I hauled out the Christmas totes yesterday and sorted through all the 

glittery balls,

sparkling tinsel,

green boughs,
jingle bells,

and ribbons

to transform the house for Christmas.

(anything to keep my little furball happy, you know...)

However......

you're going to have to wait a while to see what I did.

(bwahahaha!)

Today I want to share with you what I purchased from CSN

with my winning gift certificate 

from Julie at

Saltbox Treasures!

(Thank you, Julie! It was so much fun!)

Nope.  That's not it.

That's the BEFORE entry light.

Pretty in it's own Victorian-like way.

But certainly 

by no means

French-inspired country farmhouse.

THIS is what I drooled over 

and ended up buying.

Delicious rustiness

You can see the other new light I purchased over the sink.

(We love the way it casts warm light downward

and from outside

it lights up the brick path to the deck.)

The new entry light looks like it's been there for decades.
It fits with the French farmhouse feel weaving it's way slowly through this old house.

little

Heaven's Walk 

is coming together

...and becoming her own.

I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch 

for Metamorphosis Monday.

Be sure to visit her and see all the other 

"before and after" inspiration there!
