I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Americana China Cupboard and Tree in the Den

Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

I am so happy you decided to stop by!!

Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....

I feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I was....

I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....

As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

In my last post, I shared more of my Den decorated in an English Country Cottage style with a touch a Americana....

Click HERE if you missed that post!!

And now for a few Personal Notes...

Since I will be celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow, Tuesday, with my family, I took advantage of a nice cool day yesterday and hauled all my Summer decor for both the front and back yards, porch and patio, up from my storage shed....

I think I made 10 trips up and down the steps from my parking lot to my front porch....

Good exercise...

I did manage to get my front porch and yard set up for Summer with the exception of the rug on the front porch as we are predicted to have rain showers for the next 5-6 days....

And I am almost done with the back patio too with the exception of the rugs...

I will be sharing those areas in future posts...

Today, I am finishing off the tour of my Den decorated in an English Country Cottage theme with w touch of Americana....

My china cupboard, Tree and the area around both of them is the touch of Americana!!

Americana is different from Patriotic decor as it is more of a style of decorating used year round....

Also the colors are different from Patriotic Holiday decor in which the red is not as bright and more of a burgundy red and the white is more of a light beige...

The top of the china cupboard....

I did use some of my red and blue transferware....

A floral arrangement in a burgundy drum that I kept out after Christmas.....

A red depression glass bell....

I love the cottage pattern on this plate....

A blue transferware dinner plate and tea cup....

Remember that bell......

"Let Freedom Ring".....

A bird cage with a bow I made from Americana ribbon on top of it....

I did do the inside of the china cupboard, and the area below it differently, this year from past years....

On the left side....

A reproduction chimney flute......

On a small table that I refinished to match the china cupboard.....

I bought this cutie at a church flea market......

A blue transferware tea cup and saucer....

On a mini plaid wing chair is a sweet Patriotic bear and a sign that I just bought in Dollar Tree....

This is how the china cupboard looks this year.....

Compared to how it looked last year.....

The inside of the china cupboard now......

And last year when I used all red and blue transferware dishes....

I decided to display the beach houses that I bought many years ago in Pier One inside the china cupboard....

Top shelf.....

I also decided to use some of my ruby red glassware....

Blue and white birds

The middle shelf....

The bottom shelf....

Hanging on the door on the right side.....

Is a flag that I made 2 years ago....

On the vintage suitcases.....

Another blue and white bird....

On a pedestal on the right....

A bowl and pitcher.....

Another new Dollar Tree sign.....

On the side of the china cupboard is the Tree I leave up year round.....

I also did this Tree a bit differently this year too.....

Last year......

I tucked some burgundy roses into the Tree this year.....

The Tree is decorated with mini blue and red transferware tea cups and tea pots......

And some toile patterned ornaments.....

I also added some small dark blue ornaments....

And a few star ornaments....

And I tucked tea stained mini flags into the sides of the Tree.....

And that finishes the tour of my Den decorated in an English Country Cottage theme with a touch of Americana for the summer and early Fall......

I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY for my next post....

Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
