Bedroom Makeover & Recent Vintage Finds!

TODAY I'D LOVE TO SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO LATELY...PARING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, TO ME ANYWAY, TAKING A LOT OF THINGS TO MY BOOTH, THAT I DON'T NECESSARILY NEED AND WOULD MUCH RATHER SELL. IN DOING SO, IT MAKES EVERY SPACE FEEL MUCH MORE OPEN AND CLUTTER FREE!! HERE IS THE BEDROOM MAKEOVER....IF YOU FOLLOW MY BLOG, YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS THE GUEST ROOM. NOT THAT WE EVER HAVE GUESTS, BUT IT IS ALWAYS READY, IF WE SHOULD EVER HAVE ANY! I TEND TO KEEP MOST LARGE PIECES OF FURNITURE, THEN WORK AROUND THAT...IN THIS ROOM, I DID TAKE OUT A LARGE VINTAGE CORNER CABINET, AND A TALL STACK OF SUITCASES, A SECOND DRESS FORM, ETC... IN THE FIRST PHOTO, YOU WILL SEE A NEW RUG I HAVE ADDED, I LOVE THE COLORS AND THE SIZE, ETC..HARDLY EVER THOUGH DO I MIX MODERN WITH VINTAGE, BUT IT IS STARTING TO GROW ON ME!!

A LITTLE DRESSER RE-DO WITH SOME OLD FAVORITES FROM AROUND THE HOUSE!


SOME NEW LAMPS I FOUND AT T.J. MAXX I JUST LOVE THE SHADES ON THESE!

THEY BLEND VERY WELL WITH THESE BURLAP PILLOW SLIPS I FOUND ON ETSY.COM

I JUST LOVE SEARCHING FOR TREASURES ON ETSY!!

A RECENT FIND...THIS ANTIQUE MIRROR ON THE RIGHT. A STEAL FOR ONLY 20.00! I HAVE A LOVE FOR ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MIRRORS!!


THIS ARCHITECTURAL CHUNKY FRAMED MIRROR WAS A BARN SALE FIND FROM A FEW MONTHS BACK.... A STEAL FOR ONLY 10.00 I WAS GOING TO SELL IT, AND DECIDED IT LOOKED GREAT IN THIS BEDROOM...DON'T YOU AGREE?


I KNOW THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A LONG POST, BUT I DO HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO! A FAVORITE FIND FROM AN ANTIQUE SHOW, IS THIS VINTAGE DRESS FORM, IT IS MARKED ON THE BOTTOM, MADE IN FRANCE! I THOUGHT THE LEGS/BASE ON THIS ONE WAS UNUSUAL AND REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE, SO I JUST HAD TO HAVE HER FOR MY LIVING ROOM!


MORE FINDS....OLD APOTHECARY/MEDICINE BOTTLES FOUND FOR 20.00 EACH, WHICH I LOVE HOW THEY LOOK ON THIS VINTAGE MEDICAL CART FOUND AT THE SAME ANTIQUE SHOW!!


JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST, I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO FIND SOMETHING BESIDES PICTURES AND MIRRORS TO HANG ABOVE MY DRESSER IN THE MASTER BEDROOM! I HAVE GROWN TIRED OF STUFF WITH BUSY PATTERNS, BRIGHT COLORS, TOO MANY ROSES, ETC.. SO WHEN I SAW THIS BLACK & WHITE OLD GALVANIZED METAL OFFICE SIGN, I KNEW EXACTLY WHERE I WAS GOING TO HANG IT! I THINK IT LOOKS AWESOME WITH THESE OLD TROPHY'S, DON'T YOU?


WELL, I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK. AS ALWAYS, YOUR COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A 200 FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!
