Still Decorating the Lake House

Last fall my family purchased a vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks. Fun, fun, fun. It still does not seem real yet but I have so many country antiques throughout that is is starting to get comfortable. I live with antiques.

Early painted furniture and original country store collectibles are some of my favorite purchases. I stopped on I70 near Colombia Mo at Artichoke Annie’s Antique Mall and found a wonderful 1800’s trade sign. It read Perkins Horse and Carriage Dealer on a 18″ wide 7′ board all hand painted with green paint over cream. Did I over describe this? Well maybe but I just love antiques and you could say I decorate with unique home decor.
