White Wednesday!

I mentioned in my last post that my daughter Ember had been here to visit.
Having her here was such a good time, even though her visit was V-E-R-Y short.
She was only able to be here two days.

We had planned to paint the shack...or as it has lovingly been renamed...
la Cabene.
thank you Suzan!


One of the things having her here accomplished, was to get a few things out and 
work on a project or two. 



I worked on a wreath made with pink and white peonies I had dried from the garden.
(I'll show you that one next time because it is pink with green hydrangeas...not white)

It lit a little fire under me and so when I got that one done,
 I kept going and made this simple one from a few of the white
peonies I had on hand.

Thanks Em, for your company and help. We had a great time.
Anytime spent with my daughters is a great time!!! 




I have it hanging in the reading room on an old porch railing I bought at a yard sale
some years ago.

In the background, you can see the old column I bought at the Farm Chicks
 show this past Spring.





The mirror below is the mirror that I bought at Farm Chicks also.
 I showed it in a previous post after I got it home.

It has got to be one of my favorite finds of the day.

In it's reflection, you can see the living room has some new whites in it too.
Can you make out the arched church window frame near the front door?




Here's a little better view of it.
I found it this Labor Day at the shop Rebecca's.

I have shown pictures of her shop here before. She is only open on Fourth of July
and Labor Day weekends.

I bought it with plans to put it in the garden, but placed it here for now.
It will decay pretty fast in the garden, so I may rethink putting it
out there.



Here is a close-up of the pillow my daughter Season made from
a ruffled blouse that she found at a thrift shop.

I just adore this pillow!!!


I had a slipcover made for one of my favorite chairs. It used to be covered in
a blue slipcover that I had sewn for it several years ago. My slipcover was not what
I would consider a great job, but it worked while I decided what
I wanted to do with the chair.






I found a picture in the Wisteria catalogue of a chair and settee with a cover
that had the size of ruffle I wanted and took it to the woman I've had do some 
other pieces for me and she
did a wonderful job with the slipcover.



This chair is so comfy with it's down cushions and deep seat.
It will be perfect for browsing through my decorating books and 
stash of magazines on those long Winter days.

I decided I liked it here in the reading room in front of the window that looks
over the garden. 
I painted the the wide pine plank floors white a number of weeks ago.
The room is much brighter and cheerier now. It seemed 
so dark when the floor boards were stained.
I found myself avoiding this room and using it as a dumping ground
for things. Brightening it up  will give it the lift it needed.

This is where the grandchildren hang out when they visit.
So, when my daughter's little boy came the other day,
he walked in and said,"Oh this room is so beautiful".

I guess that means I made the right choice to paint the floors!!!


Sorry I can't show you the rest of the room.

It isn't up to taking pictures of today. And I really needed to get this post up
for White Wednesday.
I am joining those that have added their links to Faded Charm's long list
of whites today.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

June, what a pleasure to be able to spend time with your daughter, I love to spend time with mine. The precious moments creating and making memories is so wonderful!! I love your white wreath and especially the dried hydrangeas...beautiful!
I have some chairs I want to slip cover, your chair has inspired me!!! It will be next on the to do list!!!

Karen said...

Love you wreaths! And it looks fabulous on the rail! I hope I get to come to Farm Chicks next year!
You haev given me the itch to make a skipcover - although I'm just not that good with a sewing machine . . . I might give something like this a try. I have a wonderful loveseat in my ssudio that is so comfy, but would dearly love to have a new slipcover on it. Hmmm.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs! Karen

Alaina said...

June, beautiful as always. I love the little ruffles on the slipcovers. Oh and I am now on the look out for white shirts after seeing that pillow, I usually make them out of sweaters but that is just adorable. I was wondering, I saw a iron gate in the room, well some of it and I was curious what you did with it. You know we love to see more peaks into your beautiful home. Glad to hear you had a wonderful visit with your daughter and the wreath is beautiful as always. Have a wonderful week.

@nne said...

oh, it all looks wonderful! have a nice evening, @nne

Diane said...

Your post is spectacular as usual! Those little ruffles just give that chair something special, and I love the Gothic window, I don't blame you for snatching it up. Your wreath is beautiful, too. I'm glad you got to spend time with your daughter, that's always wonderful, she must be like you - that cushion is wonderful. Diane

Sandi said...

So glad to see your post June! I adore all your photos and that pillow is just gorgeous!! LOVE IT ALL!

Unknown said...

G'day, June ~ Oh, I'd never let that church out the door, it is spectacular! And that fence rail, was it pink when you bought it ... & the wreath is awesome! But more than all the beauty you display in your home or of the crafts you create or the florals you grow ... the serenity of YOU shines thru it all ...

Such peace & elegance, June.

You'll enjoy my 'white' today ...
chuckle!

One day there will be a 'ding-dong, I have a special delivery for June' ...

Have a beautiful day ~
TTFN~ Hugs, Marydon

Ann Marie said...

I love the slipcover and the white planks! Very pretty indeed!!

So... question.
Do all of your children adore whites and Vintage/Antiques the same?

~ And how do you keep white/white with a farm and grandchildren?

Hope you have a good week!

Victorian1885 said...

Good morning Sweet June
Your Wreath is amazing! The new slipcover suits your reading chair perfectly..I bought a how to book on making slipcovers but have not had the courage to start one!
What a beautiful name for your daughter..Season..I am sure she is as lovely as her Mother.
Have a wonderful week my friend!
Hugs,
Wanda

LiLi M. said...

This post is soo beautiful again June, as always. You have such a romantic home. That wreath is beautiful and the 'arch' window too. I have an old cupboard in my garden which is fun, but it decays while your looking at it. I love that window inside too, so you might have to reconsider or put it in the garden in summertime only and take it inside for the winter. To us it doesn't make any difference, as it can be very wet here in summer too. Love that cushion, I can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as we always say. In other words your daughter (I guess I can say daughters) have inherited your creative genius. Have a lovely week June! Hugs LiLi

Julia @ Vintage with Laces said...

Your wreath is just beautiful, June! What kind of branches did you use for the base? I love the delicate look.
All the architectual elements you have added to your reading room are awesome and the pillow your daughter made is very pretty! What a cool idea to use the button facing as an decorative detail. I have to keep that in mind and will watch out for a lovely ruffled blouse :-).
Your chair looks very comfy and the slip cover is beautiful. A perfect place to browse through some lovely books.
Have a wonderful Wednesday too!
Big HUGS to you,
Julia

I am loving everything in your post, June...the pretty wreath, the rail the arch, the gorgeous slip covered chair and the painted floor. I think hubby would keel over if I painted the floor! But it is on my dream list!

I'm so glad that you got to have some time with your daughter, each time one of mine walk thru the door I want to eat them up!

Happy Wednesday, my friend!

that chair is to die for! ;)

Faye said...

I didn’t know you could dry peonies! Can you just hang them up to dry? They are beautiful! I love the pillow, your chair and the large architectural piece. I saw 2 large church windows that were similar years ago and to this day I still kick myself for not buying at least one of them. Your blog is beautiful and your roses are stunning. So glad you left a comment on mine so that I found your blog. I am your newest follower!

Hello June... I love all of your whites, beautiful, as always... how fun your daughter came for a visit and you were able to make some fun things... I love, love love your white wreath!... and the pillow your daughter made is so pretty... Also, your arched window frame is fantastic, and I would leave it right where it is!... I also love seeing the picture on the wall in the background of you and Landon when he was first born... precious!... xoxo Julie Marie

Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~ said...

I'm dying over here, thanks to you June, your slipcover is luscious.... you did a fabulous job with the ruffles and everything else. I love that chair and the pillow in fact I'm going to do a post with tops making lampshade covers out of them. Your daughter did a wonderful job using a ruffle top. It's amazing what we have in our closets what we can do with them besides wearing them that's if you want to part with them. I think we need to reconsider if your thinking of throwing or giving away anything without giving it much thought.

I'm glad you had a good time with your daughter getting things done and the wreath is darling and so is your place for that matter. It was a joy seeing a wonderful post for White Wednesday... just gorgeous!

Sending Lots of Hugs*

Hello my friend, thank you for you comment on my blog. It always makes me smile.

Everything you touch, girl, turn to magic. Love the wreaths and the beginning of the room. Can't wait to watch the reach. I am going to re-do my family room this winter. I want it whites. I wish you come visit your daughter so we could go shopping.

Wendy & Megan Chamberlain said...

Amazing pictures as always. Love all the white and the church window is really awesome, seems to set the scene. The dried peonies are interesting, may I ask how you dry them to keep their shape. My poor plant only had 3 flowers this year, hopefully next summer it will do better!

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Oh June,
I've fallen in love with your arched window.....and your wreath.....and your mirror....and your old porch railing....and, everything else !!!! Do you know, I search and search for old window frames, all to no avail !!I have been to all of the reclamation yards as well. They haven't really caught on here yet. Perhaps I should try and find some and open a shop !!!!
Well June, your daughter obviously takes after you....her cushion is so beautiful and, so environmentally friendly.....a good bit of upcycling !!
Your White Wednesday is as beautiful as ever June. XXXX

Fete et Fleur said...

This is an enchanted dreamland that you have created, June. I adore the pillow your daughter made and it sits beautifully on your gorgeous new slip covered chair.

That is one beautiful slip cover!! Everything is so beautifully put together - you are so clever! Love the arch (window?)

wendy said...

Wowza white Wowza. Love it.
I have always loved whites.
when I lived in Utah I painted my OLD dark stained kitchen cabinets white and put on new hardware and it made the difference between night and day in there.

I don't think at my house now thought that anything white would STAY white for more then one second between our standard poodle and a dear hubby who drags "stuff" in.

Julie@beingRUBY said...

Dear June
So many beautiful things in this post.. The Church window.. and the mirror [I covet!!!! haha] and those fabulous slip covers.. they are quite perfect!!! As for you clever handiwork with that wreath... is there no end to your talent?? hehe... Have a wonderful week.. ciao xxx Julie

Another beautiful post with so much to admire. I love the beautiful wreath you made with your dried peonies.
The church window is wonderful-I have always loved those.
Your chair looks so cosy with it's new slipcover and the little pillow is so sweet-great idea to make it from an old blouse.
I am glad you got to spend some time with your daughter.My 3 daughters and I are going off the Island to shop for a day on Saturday-I am looking forward to it!
I hope you are feeling better now-flu bugs are not fun.

Take care,

Sounds like you have
some talented children
as well as grandkids with
great taste! I think I
have the same chair as
the one you re-covered....
It's sitting out in our
garage, a step away from
going to GW, but think I
want to re-do it, now : )
It belonged to my husband's
grandma and originally had
a down cushion. Thank you
for these lovely images and
for inspiring me, always.

June, I'm glad you got to spend time with your daughter. Mine is still at home with me, but I still cherish the times we spend out doing things as friends.
Your wreaths are lovely! I just love looking in the backgrounds of all your photos ~ such an interesting and beautiful decor!
And those ruffled, slip covered chairs ~ I adore them! One of these days I will try something like that for a chair I have here.

maría cecilia said...

Dear June, I love each one of the things you share today, everything is so pretty and lovely and cozy and charming at your home. The arc is such a great find and the slipcover is the most beautiful ruffled one I have seen in all blogland!!!!!
Same with the blouse redo your daughter did, it turned out so pretty.
Painting your floor white has been a great decision and the peonies wreaths are super lovely, delicate!!!
I thought you and your daughter had the time to paint La Cabaña, but for sure it´ll be done in some other post, hope soon because I would love going there again...
muchos cariños and much joy to you

Rosie said...

Hey there Junebug,
My, my, my...what a beautiful collection of pretty. I know exactly what you are saying about painting out dark wood. I had a ton of dark moldings, and built in book selves... it took me many years to decide that these were the "problem" in the room. Just couldn't conquer that dark dreary feeling...oh, but once I tossed some cream paint into the mix, "vua la"...a happy place to hang out.
Sorry to hear you have been under the weather...Get well my dear...Blessings, Rosie

Brilliant job on the slipcover, too. I'm going to tackle that this winter, I think. Thank you for your sweet words, much appreciated. hugs, – g

Oh my dear sweet talented June!
The only thing that makes me feel happy about you putting the garden to bed for winter, is that we get to play inside!!! The gothic window frame made my heart skip a beat. June DO NOT put that outside, unless of course you will go bring it under shelter every time it rains. And that chair...oh I love Wisteria. I can't afford their prices but I love their vision. The wreath, the pillow, all of it amazing! Love ya June! Lisa

Oh June so much loveliness here I don't know where to start! Love the slip covers. I have these on my sofas (not as nice as yours) - but they are indispensable! The mirror and column are lovely and your daughter's handiwork with the blouse/cushion is inspiring!

So glad you spent some time with Ember - a short but very sweet visit I'm sure. I'm loving your home-made wreaths and the arch too.

Thank you for your kind best wishes at mine today.

June,

It's all so gorgeous-the arched window, the mirror, the slipcovers-everything is so comfy looking! I can't wait to see the rest of the room!

Blessings,

Oh June,
It's all beautiful! I came by the other day and thought I'll come back later and then got sidetracked (so me). I love your chairs, all of them! You are so fortunate to live in such a dreamy atmosphere. You have that magic touch for certain!

If you want a chance to win something white for your home, I'm having a little giveaway. Stop by if you get the chance.

I've missed you, need to get caught up. I know I've mentioned this before but I love your daughter's name. Season is a very special name in our family.

You are so clever, I'd be daunted by covering a chair, and you've done it SO brilliantly! I really like the ruffles and the piping.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

What a charming room June. Love it. Oh and love the chair. You have just inspired me. I have a chair I'll be making a slipcover for and now I think I want it to look just like yours :-) Thanks for the inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.

Hugs and Kisses,

June, I am seriously having a fit(in a good way) over your chair covers and that pillow! These have to be the most prettiest slip covers I have ever seen. The pleats on the white one and the ribbon pleats on the arm chair are simply the best. What a pleasure you must get out of these. Oh, yes, I do love your white painted floors! You and your daughter made a very sweet wreath together. Gotta love doing projects and creating things with your children.Great find that mirror!

Dearest June, I just came back from India and saw your wonderful WW-Post. Thanks for sharing this pretty soft-white pictures!

Have a great weekend, sweetheart!
Warm hugs from "not so warm Austria" :o)

Ahhh...
This makes me want to decorate, rearrange again. Our Season is named after Season Hubley as well, my niece. Saw (the original) Season in a TV movie years ago and the name just stuck too, when my brother & wife were having their daughter, we all got to put in suggestions for names. Guess whose won out? ;)
I wonder how many beautiful women out there are named after Season Hubley. Did you know she was once married to Kurt Russell & have a son named Boston?
Happy weekend to a fellow Season (name & actress) fan.
