Museum Trees For All Your Decorating Needs

My husband says that sometimes I am too picky about what I want in our home. I'll admit, he's a little right. Okay, he's a lot right. I really do want specific things and style in our home. I also want quality products, so finding a company that carries a wonderful variety of things to choose from is a big deal for me.


One company that has amazing products is Museum Trees. They offer a huge variety of Custom Artificial Trees for your home or business. I enjoyed browsing their site and seeing all the artificial trees and plants that looked so real!

 

They also have a second site, Silk Plants Direct that has even more to choose from. Both sites have an enormous inventory to pick from.  I found myself amazed at the various choices and style, everything from contemporary to rustic, and seasonal items for decorating your home or business. Just in the Home Decor section they have over 6000 products.

The site is very easy to search and to browse, making shopping a breeze. Although, it is tough to chose just one or two things! Placing your order is simple as well. and the packaging for your product is some of the best I have ever seen. What I ordered from the company came fast and very well protected. I was impressed!


I was thrilled when I received my Silk Plants Direct Tray Stand in Gray Rust. It is gorgeous! It fits my style and I can think of a lot of different places in my home to use it.


The stand is approximately 25" tall and 17" wide at the base. It's very good sized and will hold a lot! After some debate as to where to use it, in the kitchen to hold fruit, on the kitchen table to hold napkins, salt & pepper, on the desk to hold bills and supplies, I decided to place it in my craft room. It is now going to hold all my paint brushes, colored pencils, drawing pencils, watercolor pencils, specialty tools and brushes, and more. It's perfect. Small containers are now corralled into one space and it is saving me a lot of room!


The stand is really well made. The two trays are made from steel and the legs and handle are made from iron. It has a great rustic look, yet it could fit in a more classic style home as well. I love it on my crafting desk, but I can also see it in my kitchen, or even outside with plants in it. The possibilities are only limited to my imagination. (You can purchase it right here!)


We are enjoying the stand and will continue to for many years to come.


You can take a look for yourself at all that Museum Trees and Silk Plants Direct offer. I'm sure you will find lovely things for your home and for gifts on both sites!

A Small Glimpse Into My World!

I've had a few readers ask me what my new home looks like inside. They know I have a thing about antiques and colonial things, so I thought I would show you a few shots from in my house just to give all of you an idea!
 This is one small wall in my kitchen. The little white hutch was made by my Great Grandfather for my Mom in 1927! The things hanging on the little rack on the right with the towels are called Betty Lamps. The one on the right bottom is a reproduction. The one on the left is a double tin one from the 1700's. The pewter "mugs" on the small hutch are English and intended for measuring (mid 1800's).
 This is one small wall section in our dining room. The rope winder (little square thing at the bottom) was used on our old farm by my Grandfather and Great Grandfather.
 My utensil crocks in the kitchen. I have a thing about old kitchen gadgets!! Oh and crocks! The funky metal thing hanging over the cracks is a tin cookie mold.
 My favorite antique, my spinning wheel. This has been in our family since the 1750's! It is very precious to me and was given to me by my Grandmother on my 16th birthday. I blame it for my love of antiques and decorating style. LOL!! The printer's tray is full of tiny treasures I have collected over the years. This is in our living room.
 My favorite crock and an old photo album full of daguerreotypes of family members (tin type photos). This is in my living room on the cupboard that holds our television. I made the little angel hanging from the iron candlestick.
A couple of my trunks. The top one is a doll trunk, intended to hold doll clothes. It's from the late 1800's, so is the other trunk. This is on top of one of the big bookcases in our living room.
My globes in my living room on the other bookcase. I have a thing for globes. My husband said I couldn't have any more though. ***sigh*** They remind me how important it is to get the Gospel out to the world!

So there you have a small glimpse of my home. I know it doesn't show the whole place, that will come in time and as I share more of my life. At least you have an idea of what my small little piece of the world looks like every day.

Thanks for stopping by!
