Meet Bella

This little gal found me at the antique store the other day!  I'm not kidding.  I looked over across the room and she was staring back at me.  So I had to give her a good home.  I gave her the name Bella because that means beautiful in french.  I think she's just beautiful.  Don't you agree?


I placed her on the wall above my fireplace where I could see her all day.  I just hope that my little Boston isn't too jealous though.  Afterall, I have been bringing alot of doggies home lately.  This one is my favorite though. 

Here she is looking all proud in her new home.


And since you're already in here, I thought I'd just show you around a bit.

















I hope you enjoyed meeting Bella and seeing her new surroundings.  Have a wonderful weekend!

    Kelly, I really like Bella. She reminds me of a favorite pet from my childhood, my Dad's hunting dog. Thank you for linking it up with Home Sweet Home!

    Kelly oh wow! Is that your living room? I don't think I had seen a full shot of like that before. It is simply stunning. Your new Bella is perfection on the mantle. It's a truly amazing room.

    Come and join Pinterest! I really think you would enjoy it. :)

    I love Bella! Love the name, too. My daughter named our cat Bella...it was that or ribbons or diamonds lol. Bella was definately the most 'beautiful' name of those 3 =) Your room is very pretty!

    YOur living room looks so inviting, just like an English country home would. The dog is the crowning touch~I also love the way you have all the different textures in there. So much to look at, and it all blends together in such a nice way. Now about those huge feathers!! I ordered some for myself and they are just puny compared to those long ones you have. One of my favorite things is the fern in the urn! I enjoyed poking around your room Kelly!

    I love Bella. That is what my youngest granddaughter calls me. My name is Linda which means beautiful in Spanish......and in French. LD is called Chief since he is a Native American.

    Bella is very cute, Kelly. I love your room and I'm especially noticing the lovely plants. Our home could use a few and I'm wondering if your greenery is real or faux? It certainly looks real.

    Beautiful Bella, indeed. She looks right at home there, too, and I hope you have your alarm system on 'cause Kim may sneak in in the middle of the night and you would have a bare spot there. :)))

    Kelly, I found your blog through SavvySouthernStyle sidebar-Well I am slowly trying to collect dog pictures too-I want to put them above/around our front door -- But my question is your front window -where did you get the white cafe curtains? and do you just have them hung with tension rods? Thanks I'm off to browse your blog -your sense of style is very classic and beautiful.
