This last weekend I had my hubby help me with a little furniture moving. It was a domino effect. You know, you move one piece, then that requires cleaning and vacuuming and then moving something else. And thank you Lord for the inventors of "sliders", because without them, I would have had to wait for another set of hands.
I found this white sideboard several years ago and had it for sale. When I moved out of that store the sideboard was moved into my studio. It was really too large for that space, but I didn't want to let it go. I had a plan somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain for later use.
So into the kitchen hallway, and out with the black bench. (downstairs it went) I have a lot of furniture, and a lot of "display" space, but this will be dedicated to seasonal and holiday decor. It will be wiped clean with each new season, and I will finally have a place to display all the great vintage "stuff" that clutters up my other pieces.
I have a lot of seasonal vintage prints that haven't had a spot. Now they can be a focal point for this hallway each time the season changes. This is a print from the early 1900's. The frame is "newer", but I have another companion print. The other is downstairs. This one was stashed in a storage room, unused.
Here are a few of my vintage turkeys
gathering on the sideboard.

This plucky fella was just too colorful for me,
so he got a slap of white paint.
White turkey covered vegetable.
I have a collection of Vintage turkey platters.

This year I'm giving each of the girls their own platter.

Say "Hello" to Kathleen and all the other White Wednesday
participants at Faded Charm.
Hope your turkeys are tastier than these.
From my house to yours...
Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

P.S. Since I have had a few hair-pulling blogger incidents of late, I will post the wonderful indoor displays of my recent Seed Box Open House tour a bit later. This will give you something to come back for!
Wonderful "white" Thanksgiving pieces from a truly giving and wonderful person. THANK YOU for what you are doing for Cheryl! Have a great Thanksgiving. Take care.

ReplyDeleteIt's all great, Thanks for sharing!
By the way. I was put on to Windows Live Writer recently and I'm in LOVE!! You can make your post and then send it to blogger. It is amazing! You can edit your pictures in the post!! I haven't even begun to learn all it can do. It doesn't use the internet until it's time to send to your blog so it works quick and easy offline. I used a link to download and I think You could find it at Window's website easy. If you cannot and are interested let me know I'll get you the link. All you do to sign up is give it your blog adddress and it does it all for you! Quick even for my slow computer and internet. Sorry to ramble I'm just thrilled not to worry with blogger not loading my dang pictures anymore!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs, Lisa
Such lovely items on a perfect perch, Debra. I really like the sideboard, and the fact that you can change it seasonally.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Thanksgiving surrounded by those people and things you love, my friend.

What a pretty little area. That poor old turkey got whitewashed huh?! I bet he likes his new duds better! I just love old sideboards/buffets like that too. Your turkeys really help add to the Thanksgiving festivities.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of great things here! The buffet is way wonderful. I want one like that and am still looking. The big 'ol turkey is awesome in white and I like the postcard-in-the flower-frog idea! Cool stuff!
ReplyDeletelove love love the big white turkey and transfer turkey platters are a big weakness of mine - such a beautiful setting -

Love the slapped turkey. Does it work on all turkeys, 'cause I know a few! I hope you have a wonderful turkey day...you certainly have the decor for it! BTW, that's a great idea to use the sideboard for seasonal displays. I always have to find a place to put thing away in before I can get stuff out!

I love your white sideboard and the gorgeous Thanksgiving vignette ~ it is a bit unexpected with all of the white and it is wonderful...also easing you into that more winter look you have been longing for. I also adore your opening image/header. I just got a ton of freebie magnolia branches as they were trimming trees in my neighborhood and I will attempt to make my own wreaths and garland.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! ~jermaine~
Debra ~ I have always loved sideboards and I'm glad you kept this great one! I used to have a little vintage turkey planter exactly like yours. My favorite item you have, though, is that huge marvelous turkey platter - I adore that!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day of giving thanks....
