Lots to do.....

This is where I hide my stash of Hershey Kisses

And I'd better start in the dining room. Since deciding that we will play host to about 15 this Thanksgiving and Im pretty sure we're going to need the table and chairs, I should really try and clear a path. Like many of you, my dining room serves a multitude of purposes for me. Its mostly my packaging area for getting my orders out. On a good day, when the table is clear, it can seat 10. Therefore, its very enticing to bring in any new found treasure, lay them out, clean or repair them and photograph them right there. And yes, sometimes items manage to hang out there for a few days (much to the dislike of Mr. Grumpy Vintage:)

So tonight I started clearing out the room and putting items in their proper place ~ when low and behold ~ lots of white stuff to clean in here. The obvious choice for a White Wednesday post as long as Im cleaning it anyway, right.

I bought this cute little desk at a fundraising tag sale 2 months ago for $20. It has been shoved in the front foyer because I couldn't figure out where to put it. I didn't want it in the formal living room - but I did anyway, and love it. It really breaks up all the shiny dark mahogany. I was actually going to sand and re-paint. Nope - love it just the way it is now (or maybe Im just lazy)

My dining room hutch is filled with lots of lovely white ironstone platters, pitchers and bowls ~ that all needed a thorough cleaning ~ why do I not lean towards the "less is more" style? Well, its done now and looks decent, except for the burn ring under my favorite Paris tea set (which I will just move the teapot on top of).

I feel better now. The dining room is spotless, my items are all put away in the storage room, and Mr. Grumpy Vintage has his table back.
