So excited to share my antique French barometer today. There is a wall in the mudroom that had nothing on it.  Until recently. When we found this.

Isn’t the antique French barometer beautiful?! I don’t know anything about it. Other than it’s French and it’s old. Oh and it doesn’t work. Who cares! I love it.  This reminds me since it has mercury in it – do you remember the old mercury thermometers?  I remember as a child when one would break, we would play with the mercury. It was so interesting to play with.  They’d never allow that these days, now would they?

I actually have dreams of a beautiful French settee to go under it… but for now my outdoor garden bench will do.  It is a mudroom after all. Seems so silly to call it a mudroom – don’t be flinging mud on my barometer! Eventually I am going to add more to the wall – probably some little plates above the pictures and barometer.

This bench has turned into the catch all when you walk into the garage. I had to clear it off to take a picture.  Yes, it’s back to being messy as I write. I’d take more pictures of the house… but that requires me to clean! On these hot Summer days I’m anything but motivated, preferring to lounge around instead.

Blog land pictures make life seem always so perfect… I assure you, life is far from perfect!
