...one is silver and the other gold. If I knew why that song was in my head, I'd tell you. But I have no explanation  I've also got Flock Of Seagulls in my head so go figure.<br /><br />I've been in a mixing mood lately. Maybe it's the crispy gold of fall, turning into the icy silver of winter (woah, can i get a holla for that line of poetry?) but I'm way into silver and gold. Living in harmony, just like ebony and ivory. The odd songs flow, what can I say.<br /><br />I'm especially loving it in the kitchen. Which really is stainless and brass, but you get where I'm going with this.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

It works best, I think, when it's tempered and subtle but when it works right, it is oh so good.<br /><br />So what do you think? Do you mix you metals? Do you mix your cocktails? Thank goodness for a short week ahead!

Yesterday was our 45th Anniversary and we hosted our dinner group!  This was our very first dinner party in our NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got these new turkey plates so wanted to use them since we are days away from Thanksgiving. And boy, do I have ALOT to be Thankful for!

That is the one and only time I will ever reference Debby Boone. Promise.<br /><br />As I <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/11/if-i-had-million-dollars.html" target="_blank">discussed the other day</a>, my youngest has quite a love for elephants. She's so in style these days, I know. So of course when I saw this <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/shirley-fintz-table-lamp-w737/?pkey=ctable-lamps&cm_src=table-lamps||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-" target="_blank">Shirley Fintz lamp</a> I thought of my daughter's infinite happiness.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7x5Et6R_zaus7FD3qyjjJ4YBgONw39kBwmU2NpqggN_rD2vAZ2zBAmsBIybRsBDfPyEVndCf-RnFB1p4CX62Mwxrn6dJjeUnOjWN4sxm6cHuOzwod3VSlbwZVyR4s4_8U4lYu-DuWe7s/s1600/westelmlamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7x5Et6R_zaus7FD3qyjjJ4YBgONw39kBwmU2NpqggN_rD2vAZ2zBAmsBIybRsBDfPyEVndCf-RnFB1p4CX62Mwxrn6dJjeUnOjWN4sxm6cHuOzwod3VSlbwZVyR4s4_8U4lYu-DuWe7s/s400/westelmlamp.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">via <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/shirley-fintz-table-lamp-w737/?pkey=ctable-lamps&cm_src=table-lamps||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-" target="_blank">West Elm</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Oh how she would love that in her room. But I could never seem to pull the trigger on the $250 for someone who isn't yet 2 and has a habit of breaking pretty much everything in her path.<br /><br />The goddess of restraint rewarded me though when my mom and I found this little dude out on the town.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_kpGmBa5h88vL3W5Lae58LJf8zvg_Ek9tgps23xNMUnslBqRpis1MNJXyJ4fu_RhpjQIQZbbFIw2wgwJ0YEpZ9tTowyTujgvrhUm00b_acaAUE3N2aLF-QKZy4VlgS8KjYF1ZCMYXhdg/s1600/BlueandWhiteElephantLamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_kpGmBa5h88vL3W5Lae58LJf8zvg_Ek9tgps23xNMUnslBqRpis1MNJXyJ4fu_RhpjQIQZbbFIw2wgwJ0YEpZ9tTowyTujgvrhUm00b_acaAUE3N2aLF-QKZy4VlgS8KjYF1ZCMYXhdg/s640/BlueandWhiteElephantLamp.jpg" width="444" /></a></div><br />Clearly not exactly the same. He's more of a lone wolf than the West Elm clique but as my 5-year-old would say, "same difference". And he was $18 so wahoo!<br /><br />He did come without a shade.

winterizing the kitchen

I was baking cookies the other day and as I waited for the timer to ding I stared at this.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2TJZwyI1Z8-k-TYAovBRQd2H5CbGy74LwEyvdj65ImSf37FrMjh9ZkJUAlsQWr14woclDFV08uZrCVL2E1l2n-HM-dfLZpVbDpNh9lRjMdDSQw3gn2tUwbgVRfun3eyUw3HYdwNMaUOt/s1600/PA300411.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2TJZwyI1Z8-k-TYAovBRQd2H5CbGy74LwEyvdj65ImSf37FrMjh9ZkJUAlsQWr14woclDFV08uZrCVL2E1l2n-HM-dfLZpVbDpNh9lRjMdDSQw3gn2tUwbgVRfun3eyUw3HYdwNMaUOt/s640/PA300411.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />I'm over it.<br /><br />Not the shelves, but the white. Ever since I added my <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/10/paint-rug-party-week-3-reveal.html" target="_blank">lovely new rug</a> by the sink, I've been thinking the other side of the kitchen needed some blue as well.<br /><br />This is where all of those purchases of blue and white come in handy. Proof to the hubs that you can never have too much blue and white. 10 minutes later...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj805nO5xYlAeJdRDxUlm9a3Cx4TG5GEWyvLOMQQijDD2_O9Quwpfpm0DMfTB2cguFWIItJSUyo641fsWaANl70kvZwpTFDfc658Goj2zhkCxxiOzrUrH6Oal5TO9Zivs33hdJo1hHrkDVF/s1600/BlueandWhiteKitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj805nO5xYlAeJdRDxUlm9a3Cx4TG5GEWyvLOMQQijDD2_O9Quwpfpm0DMfTB2cguFWIItJSUyo641fsWaANl70kvZwpTFDfc658Goj2zhkCxxiOzrUrH6Oal5TO9Zivs33hdJo1hHrkDVF/s640/BlueandWhiteKitchen.jpg" width="514" /></a></div><br />Voila. Much better and a bit cozier for winter. We'll consider this my 'winter kitchen'. If you can't have a winter home, you can at least have a winter kitchen.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1yygBN30zEU4Makbd50OVqPYiyvA5UaMQ2NwfeWiQ5ExbbeO5JnGdz3sqFxpyMO0VbMC79dIMMUwrfPMizjPcybY9zw8M58uT-Nb_xFYWhwgG4HupQVi3p0Dmz7I8ix4RY3rcqVCzjD4U/s1600/BlueandWhiteKitchenclose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1yygBN30zEU4Makbd50OVqPYiyvA5UaMQ2NwfeWiQ5ExbbeO5JnGdz3sqFxpyMO0VbMC79dIMMUwrfPMizjPcybY9zw8M58uT-Nb_xFYWhwgG4HupQVi3p0Dmz7I8ix4RY3rcqVCzjD4U/s640/BlueandWhiteKitchenclose.jpg" width="630" /></a></div><br />And if I decide to change it again in the Spring, I know it will be quick and easy.<br /><br />Have you made any quick changes around the house? Have a collection that moves from place to place? Have a winter home you'd like to share with me?

Boy, have I been BUSY!!! This moving stuff is NOT for sissies:):) I am organizing all over the place. Joe and I have purchased 8 shelving units for the basement storage area and are picking up 3 more tomorrow for my dish room. I will share some of that organizing soon. So, I have been going through some boxes and finding some treasures. I decided to change the morning room table vignette. I have had this tablecloth forever but still love it. So, it is on the table for now. SOON it will be replaced for Christmas!!!!!!!!! I am antsy to GET STARTED:):) I can't wait to see what will fit here and what I can and can not use. My daughter will probably be the recipient of alot of Christmas goodies!!!! So, I made a new arrangement on the table. Then I surrounded it with lots of textural pieces.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXHdU7BTf8luvzwT68kcr-3mtp9ia_ds2p5srDe8_VOWNsjplw-7am9Kn58GWb9FWbGY8gKQUYiP3BAxuCpfH0lfxpOrV3gINEK5_ccUHHb16nGq9bajOQRT79loEjo2qaQskSeFAqCY/s1600/Doing+Dish+room,+new+table+vignette+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
