A Prim, Rustic, or Farmhouse Setting

It is turning colder. . .definite signs of fall with winter on its tails. . .As soon as there's a chill in the air, I bring out some chosen miniature log cabins to add to the autumn settings. . .I think you can see why this one is my favorite. . .

No. . .this isn't The Country Farm Home. . .Well. . .maybe you could call it The Country Farm Home II. . .It is our weekend home in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. . .where I have recently decided to redecorate using the basic color palette of our farmhouse. . .the "cotton palette" I call it. . .whites. . .neutrals. . .grays. . .blacks. . .I haven't had the time. . .so far. . .to do much. . .except set up a few vignettes for a test run. . .Thought I'd share this one with you. . .because. . .I really like it. . .and can see my plans will give drama and simplicity to our get-away. . .

It seems that as much as I try new ideas and styles. . .I always come back to what I know and love. . .And each time it gives me the sense of coming home. . .

So I guess I'll stick to the same basic plan. . .but with more prim and rustic with a little farmhouse thrown in. . .It will be next summer's project. . .Seems like a long way off. . .but it will be here in no time. . .Besides. . .looking on the bright side. . .I have a whole winter to plan and gather and dream!
