Trying To Decide...

I've shown you this armoire before. I used it as a display piece

in my Wisconsin needlework shop so many years ago. Another

time...Another place. It was useful and served its purpose there,

but it doesn't go with any much of our furniture now in Florida.

With the exception of pieces of antique oak furniture that are better

suited to my "too small" studio, it's otherwise an orphan. But, here's the

deal. I just can't bring myself to part with it yet. I've photographed it

multiple times with the idea that I'd sell it, and then set that plan aside.

See? I've taken photos of the outside and inside of it. It's all cleaned

up and standing, pretty-as-you-please on the covered part of our lanai.

So, I started to think about how I could "populate" it for where it's

  situated right now...until I can come to terms with

where, what, how and when I might do something different with it.

So, for now at least, I've placed some of our Nantucket baskets,

seashells and special pottery pieces inside. Then I topped it with

lots of hydrangea blooms to continue that "island theme" (even if

it's Nantucket Island - one of our favorite family places to visit!). 

Do you like what I've done? I'm still working on the rest of the lanai

arrangement, but I think I'm off to a nice start. I'm looking for a new

 seating set, and that might take a while to find. What we have is fine

for now though, and it's really time for me to get back to the studio.

I do get side-tracked sometimes. You, too?
