Sometimes I figure being that this is a split bulit in 1975, I can relax on some things, but now, you inspire me to hide even more. I will indeed play hide and seek next week! In the mean time, I have to hide some more things now. I am really liking the toilet paper hidden like that. Gotta find me something to hide mine now. <BR/><BR/>I love seeing pics of your cabin. More more!! :-) <BR/><BR/>hugs, LindaLinda - Behind My Red Doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440663909785788611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893089342864126901.post-74250067148749956972009-02-06T13:44:00.000-05:002009-02-06T13:44:00.000-05:00Hi Connie!....it's so good to know that the thermo...Hi Connie!....it's so good to know that the thermostat cover works normally being covered up, I've always wanted to ask someone who has one!....your pictures are absolutely wonderful!

Your home is wonderful~so warm, cozy and inviting! I want to come and sit by your fire and chat. :) I myself complain about outlets and electrical cords on a daily basis. I am thankful for them but at the same time I think they are so ugly! But unfortunately a necessity and thank you for all the wonderful ideas to make them "go away"!

Wow!<BR/>You reminded me of Cathy...she's always trying to hide modernity as well. I haven't gotten very far in that regard but my new bread box holds and hides a lot of things that usually end up on our counters. I'm currently looking for a way to hide or paint the switchplate covers that are along the counters. I have my Buttery sign leaning there now, but it's not quite high enough to cover them. However, I like it there so I'm thinking of painting the covers to match the beadboard backsplash. We'll see.<BR/> Take care. I really look forward to what you do each time you post.<BR/> JoanneAprons Gone Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620449566168721820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893089342864126901.post-33508921801235038152009-02-06T12:14:00.000-05:002009-02-06T12:14:00.000-05:00Connie,I love how you have hidden all of the moder...Connie,<BR/>I love how you have hidden all of the modern conveniences.

I love it and your home, it looks so peaceful and like stepping back in time, but done with style and a great eye, I like you do not have a lot of "clutter", each piece stands out and makes a statement, it is lovely. I do not know my style of decorating, mostly hand-me-down, found on the road, bargin, had for years style! Things I love and things that once belonged to other family members. I think I will call it Junk-Yard Chic! I tried once to hid the things in the kitchen, my family made more of a mess trying to find what they were looking for so I stopped playing the hiding game. The only appliance I leave it is the coffee maker, I would put it away after using it and then one day just stopped. <BR/>Your home is great. I enjoyed reading your post and seeing the photos!<BR/>MarthaMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060218757692910528noreply@blogger.com
