Hello Wednesday! I don't usually get to say that, because I don't usually post on Wednesdays. At any rate, I have been busying myself with reorganizing my dining room...because...well...that's what I do...I organize, reorganize, redo, and redecorate! I have a constant need to change and rearrange, but fortunately for me, I now have a place to come to where other like minded obsessive compulsive decorators leave me encouraging comments for my efforts :)
So today's post features the reclaimed wood cabinet in the corner of my dining room (it has a large old window as the door, so it makes for a good place to display things)...I moved all of the white dishes I had sitting out on the open shelving into this cabinet...and changed things up a bit, of course. I used the opportunity to practive my photography a little, so there are lots of pictures for you today...
I don't quite know what's going on here with the salt thing, but that's how my mind works when I'm decorating...quirky ideas just kind of pop up...and I usually just roll with them!
BTW, I have gotten a lot of mileage out of the clock faces that I photo copied...I made wine charms for a little get together the other day by using my tag punch on all of the numbers...makes for a fun look...what is this craze I have for numbers lately??!!
The winner of the giveaway is Debbie from Talking Trash!!! I'm so honored and so thrilled to be a part of this blog community where people rally around those in need like all of you have done!! You girls rock...and you hold a special place in my heart!
Hmmm, what shall I redo today...
:) Tracey

Rearranging is good for the soul! I love the salt theme, it's very earthy...as in "salt of the earth!" and that scale and antique soda syphon...be still my heart!
Congrats to the winner of your wonderful giveaway!
Kat :)

my five year old now 24 ..used to call it e-ranging ...

What a beautiful start to my day! And the "salt" thing? Random perfection.
Your images always delight me...so creative. Just what I need this fine morning as I head off to school! xoxoo
Hello Tracey! Thanks for posting these incredible images!
Hugs
Federica
everything looks so great....and you are the one who's photographic skills are getting better!
I would love to see a big picture of that cabinet in the corner!
I have my eye on this cabinet for $100 for the corner of my dining room - but the door doesn't totally close....hhhmmm....but painted white it would look great!
and YOU rock little lady - YOU give US the inspiration....with all your numbers/white/greys/and creativeness.....
...vintage silver and white ironstone is simplistic beauty at it's finest! Your pictures are lovely! And I love the fragmented "clock face" tags!! xo
I adore your way of practising with photocamera!!! You're a so clever photographer and what you show is faboulous and charming!
Big hugs Tracey!

Tracey... you are welcome to come to my home and help me add all the little punches I am trying so hard to add to my home with a tight budget.... You so all the little details and I am a detail person so I am loving it all.... I think I will try to use your clock face idea if it doesn't offend you.... I always feel pleasure if I help someone come up with a idea they can use ..... ps... I love those buttons....
oh so lovely! {swoon} i especially love the little spoon tag! cute.
i adore white so this post just pulls me in...
thanks for sharing...happy decorating!
cheers

Congrats to my pal Deb! Love all the pics but those number tags are to die for!
Blessings,
Shelley
Congratulations to Debbie!!! Okay - Tracey. I LOVE the salt vignette!!! That is gorgeous! And - if that's the way your mind works when your decorating I say... run with it. LOL And the number fetish? If you figure out the formula for the cure - will you let me know? heehee
ALL of it is just gorgeous as always!!!
;-) Robelyn
Wonderful photos Tracey, I'm especially crazy for those little hammered silver S&Ps. I always love everything you do. So clean and fresh!
Blessings,
Debra
oh tracey girl you are amazing!! why doesn't anything i reorganize turn out to look like that?!?! well...in truth i know why...shameful to say the i move on to another project before i've finished...sigh...
anyways...i can't get enough of numbers either...they are appearing all over my house...i think my hubby has strained an eyeball from all the rolling he has been giving me!! ;0)
Your photos are lovely ~ as always! I too love to reorganize. Whenever my husband goes out to sea or on travel I rearrange at least one room of furniture ~ he comments that he always comes back to a new home :)
Jo
COME REDO MY HOUSE! I dare ya! In fact I double dog dare ya! Love the pics! Of course with subjects like those.... My fav is the scale. I seem to have a "thing" for scales lately.
Hi Sweet Friend, I just love your style and your photos are always so spectacular! Practice? Pfffft...I could click until next century and my skills would pale in comparison.
Your vignettes are beyond beautiful and your posts are always a feast for my eyes. Thank you for sharing your loveliness with us.
I L-O-V-E the buttons so pretty!
Love and hugs,
Karyn
Just beautiful Tracey...and your photography is marvelous!
Ok, when you are done with your home please come over and help me. I buy what I love but I have trouble displaying them. I will say I have gotten great ideas from you and other favorite bloggers.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Happy Wednesday
Those shots of your reorg are so creative. Now I'm inspired.

Hi, Tracey!
Everything looks so SUPER! I especially like your pic with the fork tines "up close and personal". Makes me want to stay home and reorganize ... EVERYTHING ... today. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love it all, but the "spoons" and the "salt" sing to me! Looks fantastic!
Michelle
My dear...you are the one that rocks...in fact...you are the SALT of the earth!
Thanks so much for having this giveaway and for your big ol' heart.
Debbie
It's a Sickness I tell you! I am the same way, I can never stop re organizing or re doing or doing. Beautiful Inspiration, Wow.. Love it all.

erin
OCD. Yup, I've got a bad case of it.
I love all the changes you made and all the great shots you took. Your talent is so clear, in front of the lens, behind it - I'm so blessed to have you in my midst!
Hugs to you sweet T ~

Congratulations to the winner of your Giveaway!
Hi Tracey,
Just beautiful, gorgeous, amazing photos. I can see right now that I need a better camera. Mine used to do that *blur the background* thing, but not anymore. Unless I don't want it to! I can take 100 pictures and not get one blurred background, but then if I take ONE that I don't want blurred...yep you guessed it. Oh well. I have fun trying!
Hugs~
Could we be related...I can't stop moving things around either.
Bonjour Tracey,
Your photos are so inviting and creative; I especially love your salty vignette atop the scale - so creative.
Happy organizing!
G O R G E O U S!!! But...everything you touch Tracey, is fabulous!! My goodness you are such a talented lady!
LOVE that scale...yummy yum yum...
Shellagh
Hi Tracey,
Oh how I love the way you put things together.... and your photographs are so good. I really love the luggage tags with spoon and cups.
You really do give me some great ideas. XXXX
Congrats to Deb! another one of my fav blogs.
Your photos get me wanting to get organized around here....at least that was the plan for January:)) haha!
xo,
Carole
Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one who likes to organize, redo, & redecorate! I drive my husband crazy because it usually means another "Honey-Do" list for him:) Love all your photos!
gorgeous photos!!!!
Cute, Tracy! I hope you are having a sweet day.
Happy decorating!

I love all your things and that you have OCD when it comes to arranging and rearranging. :) That made me smile - I'm pretty much the same way, although my things aren't nearly as gorgeous as yours, dear. Just beautiful.

Great idea with the photocopies...how do you come up with this stuff? So talented are you! I am loving your pictures....
Yes...I totally get the salt thing. This little click goes off in the brain when you get inspired...by what seems a random idea. That is why when I need inspiration I blog and look at pictures and then, CLICK...inspiration hits and I am off and running. Great blog...I will be back for more! ( your white theme...looks like my beach house.)
love love love love love.....

It is fun to change it up. It gives us a fresh start.
Got to get me one of those tag punchers, but the ones in the store never seem big enough.
Blogging is a great way to get that extra affirmation on your efforts.
