My Now and Before Corridor


This stairway successfully led me to a smart 
and savvy solution this weekend, after repeatedly
 'hitting my head against a brick wall'.
 Yes, this brick wall.


Upon returning to the island, having spent 2 ½ months
in Canada, some vignettes, I felt, needed some revamping,


like this little quintet above. Of course, I had
 visions of marble topped consoles, with curvy,
 wrought iron legs, all accessorized in French accents,
 but my budget is not fluent in such decor dialect!


So, I searched the house, my very own 'mall-on-call',
and climbed the stairs to the master bedroom, 


where, a potential 'purchase' was plucked from its 
original place, nestled in a corner of my bedroom, 


to its new location, in the front entry hall, where 
it can keep company with it's fellow dweller,  


a sweet and petite antique desk, that was
 snatched from right behind those French doors.


Do you remember it?


Here's a hint of how it's been 'restocked'. 
More on this 'floor model' in a future post!


Now, let's see what what we've 'walked out' with:
(ain't that an abundance of alliteration!)

 Before                                                         After 
Before                                                   After

  I believe the '(ex)changes' are more suited to the season,

 

for a lighter, brighter, simpler look.


So, let's see what this 'new', 'now' corridor cost me -
let the number crunching begin:

Pretty petals, gathered from my garden.

 energy source #1, 
(from running  hiking up and down those stairs),
 +
  calories, 
(always a good thing to spend!),
+   
energy source #2,
that the little light bulb in my brain burned...(out!),
=
$0.00
(before and after taxes)!!!


 
 Thanks for visiting!
Happy Canada Day and 4th of July,
 and a big hello to my new followers!
