A Frosty Welcome!

I'm sure you've had that ah~h~h moment!

You know the one.

That moment when you enter your favorite home decor shop 
and this adorable little face greets  you and melts your heart?

Could you resist???

Obviously, I couldn't!

On Crooked Creektt,
"Mr. Ed" and I styled our Entry Hall with  
A Frosty Welcome, just for you!


Simplistic changes in On Crooked Creektt's Entry Hall
welcome the onset of Winter and the promise of s n o w!

I  l o v e   s n o w!

Evergreen boughs scattered amongst over sized s n o w ball ornaments
keep visions of anticipated s n o w days On Crooked Creektt!

The two white lidded urns 
add a crisp brightness to this area during the grey skies of our Prairie Winters.

Frosty's greeting with his sweet smile and welcoming wave,
adds a ray of sunshine to my soul!


On Crooked Creektt. . .
since "Mr. Ed" and I've no place to go. . .
let it s n o w,  let it s n o w, let it s no w!



Until next time. . .

Color Comes A Calling. . .

Rearranging furniture On Crooked Creektt
has brought about a renewed appeal to the upper level Living Room.

Once I had completed renewing my Traditional style,
I turned my attention to the Entertainment Center's accessories.
As I began to boost some energy into the design style On Crooked Creektt,
color comes a calling!

My inspiration comes from this oil trilogy.
It is reminiscent of the scenery that "Mr. Ed" and I adore
during our Annual Trout Fishing Trip to Bennett Spring State Park
in Lebanon, Missouri . 

The Autumnal hues, within the oil print, give a comforting effect on our decor.
Like those in the painting, over cast skies here On Crooked Creektt, 
are an everyday occurrence in Winter.

The left side of the Entertainment Center consist mainly of subtle blue hues.

In keeping with the 2015 Design Trends,
I've added a touch of brass from "Mr. Ed's" tours in Korea.

The right side of the Entertainment Center 
highlights the subtle earth tones in the oil painting within the chosen decor.
Again, the accent of brass is prevalent in the accessory choices.

Filling out the space on either side of the Entertainment Center
are additional oil prints and wrought iron crosses.

Still needing to accent the oil trilogy,
I was thrilled to find these decorator pillows and throw
at our local Target Marketplace!

For this hopeless romantic,
the floral design makes my heart and soul sing each time I enter the room!

The herringbone throw brings a masculine touch to an otherwise feminine style.

I am thrilled with the energy that these accent pillows and throw
bring to On Crooked Creektt's upper level Living Room!

On Crooked Creektt,
color comes a calling 
within the choices of home decor accessories and design trends!

Only One Flower Will Suffice. . .

After doing the furniture scootin' boogie(here)
in On Crooked Creektt's upper level Living Room,
I noticed the wall pockets were in need of a fresher floral selection.

Traditional furnishings require Traditional florals.

Which for this hopeless romantic, means only one flower will suffice.
Roses. 

Gingersnap hued roses . . .

. . .from On Crooked Creektt's Gardens.

Roses make my heart skip a beat!

While there are no roses blooming in On Crooked Creektt's Gardens,
if there were, my allergies would not allow them to join us in the Living Room.

So~o~o. . .
faux florals will fill the wall pockets, quite nicely!

To begin,
I left one, airy piece of faux greenery within each wall pocket.

Next,
I inserted some similar hued roses from my Spring Floral Collection!

Two within the larger wall pocket. . .

                                                                           and one for the smaller wall pocket.

Then, 
came the full white dahlias with just a touch of soft yellow center.

I added a contrast in color and texture with these purple hued dried pods.

Refreshed and renewed wall pockets 
within On Crooked Creektt's Living Room! 

I'm, truly, pleased with the outcome!
