really interested me because my
friend and I got to visit that
unusual shop, Bellochio near
Berkley, California.
I love it, it is a perfect contrast between being super feminine and masculine at the same time!
ReplyDeleteOh, very nice. I love lots of pretty things in a home -- makes it seem homey and like people are cared about.
ReplyDeleteNot sure where I will sit! Do like the fun tea pot shaped stands.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And your settee for $35 is wonderful! They just don't make second hand bargains like they used to anymore!
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm visiting some blogs while I wait for more breaking news on our earthquake - felt here in southern New Jersey about a half hour ago! Never felt one before! Center of it seems to have been in D.C. and Virginia . . .
Joy!

Your home (well, two rooms of it) is exactly as I pictured it. What lovely places and ways to enjoy tea.
ReplyDeleteBest,

Although more often than not, I take tea in the breakfast room, I, like you, take tea EVERYWHERE -- it's more fun!!! You have some lovely things -- and although "inexpensive" when you bought them, they are true treasures worth many $$$ now!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all of your things.
Haha! I have tea all over my house too! Love your lavender wand and your rolling tea cart. The outdoor bench looks so inviting too~ Have a wonderful week :)
ReplyDeleteHello Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteit was so delightful to see a lot of your treasures. As you, I was fascinated from the charme of old things since I was young. You have a wonderful collection of charming things, which make a home cozy and comfortable. And some china is really hearttouching.
Best greetings, Johanna
Your home is so beautiful, and I can tell guests must feel very welcome and at ease the moment they enter. Somehow you've made it look elegant and yet inviting all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteBernideen, your home is charming and I love the idea of having tea all over the house. If one loves tea and tea things, why not! I love the teapot and your table cloth is simply gorgeous! The what not shelf would be so sweet painted white too. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
I spied so many beautiful pieces of furniture and gorgeous china that you have! I do the same in my dining and living rooms. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy tea,
Lorena
Your home is beautiful, so elegant. I like it the way it is, I don't think you need any shabby chic white.

How beautiful! I love all your photos! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me about the tea cozy that is over your tea pot...lacey one?
I've never seen one like that and I love the idea!
Hope to hear back from you.
Love, Lady Linda
BERNIDEEN YOUR HOME IS SO WARM AND INVITING, THERE ARE SO MANY LOVELY TEA TREASURES HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE TEA IN ANY ROOM. I LOVE YOUR SETTEE SET, THAT WOULD COST YOU THOUSANDS TODAY. MY MOM WOULD ALWAYS HAVE TEA AT THE KITCHEN TABLE, SHE WOULD BE WAITING FOR US TO COME HOME FROM SCHOOL, AND SHE WOULD BE HAVING HER TEA AT THE KITCHEN TABLE (WE ALL KNEW SHE WOULD BE THERE AS SOON AS WE OPENED THE DOOR.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE TEA ANYWHERE I AM COMFORTABLE IN THE HOUSE, EVEN OUTSIDE. YOUR POST IS SO LOVELY, TAKE CARE, RIZZI
What a lovely teatime world you have created for yourself... Love your settee and all the vintage china.... I really joyed this little tour....Thank You ... Hugs
ReplyDeleteBernideen!! So lovely. I finally have a quiet moment to catch up on some of my favorite blogs...what a joy to find your home opened up to me this morning. I want to get a comfy afghan and snuggle up on your lovely $35 couch with one of your pretty teacups and have a visit with you! What fun to have things you had from your early marriage years!! I don't think I have a lot of those items...but of course, I didn't select classic things either...so that's probably why I don't have them still! I do happen to own a lovely chair that was one of my parent's first home making items...it's very special to me....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely home!! Donna
Your home is beautiful, Bernideen! Love the dining room; the table and tablecloth are lovely. I really love the magnolia plates in your china cabinet! Thanks for the tour!
