Why I Love an Old House: Quirks and Oddities

[princesspiratecat]

Decisions, Decisions....

So, I’m finally painting my dining room and am conflicted about colors. I’m obviously not going to paint over this gorgeous wood, as one of the previous owners spent weeks stripping it. 

I also cannot decide what to do with my mantel! I have some pretty pewter, but also some lovely paintings, prints and pottery. After looking at some of these lovely images from A Primitive Place magazine, I’m even more conflicted because they look so amazing! I do plan to buying a nice crane and maybe adding some fireplace cooking tools so I can finally make mac and cheese as it as originally made! 

What do you guys think? Here are some inspirational ideas: 

I really really love 2 & 3 the most. I have hanging herbs in my kitchen, so I don’t think I will go that route. But I love the handmade candles hanging there along with the tools. I’ve decided to going with some pewter candlesticks on the mantel as well..but I can’t decide if I should keep it simple or make it more pretty.

Crowded shelves. A group of unframed paintings - botanical still-lifes, figures and landscapes look better collected on a mantel shelf than they would hung singly on the walls.
