What rose "things" do you have in your house?
Hi Everybody,
I'm excited about all of us sharing our inside pictures of rosy things we have! I'll start.
Wait a minute...is this a peony??? I've always thought the above was a rose...but??
Clay rose (below) made by my daughter many years ago.
Painting by my daughter in junior high school.

Below is a box

Now, I'm aware that many of you will have waaay more inside rose things than I do...so share as much or as little as you want. :)

Can you show me your rose beds (or, where do you plant your roses
Comments (34)CI, TZ, SdlM all growing nicely now. I think this will be a good fragrance bed. I put Lion's rose in the back to add beauty and a good leafy background even though it isn't much on scent. I think if the base gets shaded by the others, it won't get disease. There's room to the right of Abe Darby for one more big rose. I think it's going to be Evelyn. Hopefully, it will work some magic for me. This is a good morning sun spot and gets shade in the hottest times of the day. My summer is a little hotter than Hoovb's but maybe it's close enough. I'm going to hope for the best. The only downside to this location is that it will take the full force of the Santa Ana wind from across the street. We are along the Santa Ana river channel and the wind blows strongly through the gap. It seems to be shifting later than Halloween now. I used to call it the Halloween Wind....See MoreWhat Pet Accent Decor do you have In your Home
Comments (11)What BIG dogs! I have four and the largest is a Lab. Smallest weighs less than 7lbs at 7 months. I don't usually throw so much of the same in one room, but when we built this house, DS said he "did not want dead things in his (guest) bedroom." Like we ever had dead things around the house when he was growing up! lol Since we live in the woods, I didn't want to go that direction, so I went with dogs. Corner to left of bed. These are new prints and one of the last things I bought. Tired of searching for older prints with dogs that would work with the room: I went a tad overboard. Have two pictures in a drawer. :-/ I bought the material for long pillow on bed from ebay and had a friend sew the pillow. It features a hunting scene with dogs and horses. We live in a horse community, so i like the horses thrown in. The room is quite large (16x12) so things are fairly spread out. Doesn't scream DOGS when you walk in. lol Corner to right of bed. Dog TV lamp from the 50s is one of the first things I bought for the room. I had it made into a table lamp: Better photo of vintage picture: Dogs items on/above highboy: Vintage etchings over desk. We have a wheat Cairn Terrier that looks just like the bottom etching: There is a vintage dog bookend for a doorstop in the room, but no photos. I have two Boston Terrier doorstops in the house (one black/white, one brown/white). Cat lamp in sunroom. Was mine when I was a baby. Vintage etchings in kitchen on either side of range/hood. One features deer, the other dogs:...See MoreWhat flooring do you have in your kitchen-and rest of house?
Comments (29)We have moisture issues so couldn't do wood (plus, we live on a ranch and hubby works around heavy machinery ALOT...our floors take a real beating!)...so, we went with travertine in most of the downstairs (we put *super* cushy carpet in the side tv room). I LOVE MY TRAVERTINE! It never looks dirty. We laid it in a three size versailles pattern which gives an "old world" style feel to the house. It's indestructible and everything cleans up perfectly...even spilled paint. We carried the travertine up the stairs...only on the riser part of the stairs..used the ultra cushy carpet on the step part. Kitchen was done in a dark porcelain tile with texture...also love it..never looks dirty, isn't slippery, cleans up so easily! Yes, the floors are hard. I just wear good shoes/slippers and no worries....See MoreJust for fun, what do you love but would never have in your own home?
Comments (78)In my new home, I have a housekeeper come every other week. I like clean homes. I do NOT like the actual job of cleaning them. I'd rather work in the garden, or do some cooking, or deal with the chickens, or keep up with physical maintenance and house painting/staining, or do graphic arts or anything else. I'm fine with doing laundry, too. I clean up after myself in the kitchen, but the housekeeper does floors, bathrooms and general dusting/windows and such. And I now have a robot vacuum who is pretty decent at what he does. He even has a name: Sharkey. I'm not crazy about cleaning his filter, but it comes with the territory and lasts five minutes... I didn't have a housekeeper back at my old CT home. One reason my getting out of there and getting the place on the market is taking so long... especially since I then had a full time job that lasted well over the standard 40 hour work week. THIS one will be clean! But it doesn't need to be anally-House Beautiful clean. Simply lived in and tidy. My reasons for not wanting a fully white kitchen or other rooms are not about appearing clean, but about my just only wanting white as an accent. Aesthetically. That's what works for my sense of eye appeal....See Morerosecanadian

A beautiful picture of my BEWITCHED Rose taken by my brother-in-law. Later on my sister Elaine had it framed and presented it to me.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI bought these shoes 30 years ago at Nordstrom's in Anchorage. I wore them to my son's wedding in 2017.
My SIL Olga knitted or perled this rose necklace for me.
I'm not sure why she chose beige for the color.

Carol, I ordered those from Touch of Class about twelve years ago.
I bought a collection of these teacups and saucers around the same time, each set has a beautiful floral design. I have them displayed in a curio cabinet.

3 years agoChristmas preparations are done, so I finally snapped some photos to share a few of my rosy things and had a hard time finding this thread again. The hand painted pictures and gifts made by children and family shown above are the most special. None of mine have that kind of sentimental value.
Sheila, your shoes are as fashionable today as they were 30 years ago. So chic!Subk, your daughter does impressive metal work.
As I looked around the house, these are the ones that popped out at me......
A rug that was under my desk until I switched it out for an Oriental.
I didn't realize how crooked these plates are until I saw the pic.
Sheet music.
A favorite print.
Another rose rug and my Daisy girl.
Diane and I both collect rose brooches from the 1800's and Haviland Limoges and Bavarian rose tea cups. Diane, we would love for you to share some of yours.
If anyone gets rose inspired items for Christmas, this is where you should show them off.
