An Overall View Of This Newly Redecorated Bedroom...

Believe It Or Not, It Is My 17 Year Old Daughter's Room!

She Likes Things Simple And Organized...(Just Like Her Mom)
I Love Using All White Linens...So Serene And Easy To Care For!

I Am Trying To Get Motivated To Sell More Stuff And Stop

Buying So Much! So I Keep Taking Things To My Booth, Send

Things To Friends, Have Yard Sales, Etc..I Want To Keep Things

Simplified! It's So Hard To Do Sometimes, So Many Pretty Things!!
It Has Been Quite Hot And Humid Here In The South!!

I Can Hardly Wait For The Fall Weather To Get Here!!

I Hope You All Have A Wonderful Week....And Stay Cool!!

Won't You Come In?.....

Won't you come in...Today I thought I would show you my

living room....Above is an old stepback cupboard that is made

of antique railroad wood. The lady we purchased it from said

the previous owner had made it for his wife many, many years

ago. I love antique pieces with history and stories to tell....It

is an awesome piece to showcase your favorite treasures..

Inside is a collection of antique jars, old dolls, Apothecary

Bottles, and my favorite porcelain busts!
An iron bench that I painted white.. with some pillows that I

tea-stained and embellished with lace and rhinestone pins...
One of my favorite little corners to sit and read..

Shades of vintage white, so calming and relaxing...
Becoming a favorite, Is this vintage dress form that I

dressed in a vintage blouse with pearls, pins, & old keys, etc..

Charming display of white McCoy pottery, old bibles, lace,

and my favorite antique metal photo frame!
Upon entering, This is the first display that you will see...

Creamy whites, old statues, clocks, flower frogs, antique framed

prints, cake toppers under cloches, lots of jars filled with

Christmas ornaments, old lace, old string, white buttons, etc..

As you may notice, I love to keep small collections together.

In my opinion, If you keep collections together, it makes more

of a statement, and things do not get lost, mixed in with the larger

pieces..and the best part, if you keep smalls in glass fronted

cabinets, you don't have to dust every little thing!!
Could you tell by now that this so called livingroom..has no couch!

I decided about 2 years ago to make my livingroom more of a

sitting room. Using just my old wicker chairs, an iron bench,

and a couple of bistro chairs for seating....
Lastly, Is my new obsession, I guess you can call it..I love the

hunt for old silver, plated, tarnished whatever the condition..

Especially pieces with old flower designs. Such character and

history behind these old pieces...Well I hope you have enjoyed

your visit...do stop in again real soon....Happy Junkin!!

Fun In The Sun! Coca-Cola Style!

For the past few days I have been rearranging, cleaning,

organizing, taking junk to my booth, trying to downsize!

One thing is for sure, these things I will never tire of!

Hubby has been collecting Vintage advertising for the past

15 or more years! You could say that this is his obsession!

I have always loved to collect vintage garden treasures,

metal 50's furniture, and old tin toys! The combination

surely brings some fun to a room..my sunroom that is!

Vintage cowboy collectibles, old metal toy trucks,

some circus themed treasures mixed with shabby

chippy furniture, mostly found on ebay, antique

shows, and very few at estate sales....
The best estate sale find was the huge cupboard found

a year ago for only 45.00 you heard me right! Scored big time

on that one! It is absolutely perfect for my sand toy collection!
Vintage Coke machine with Coke coolers & vintage advertising tins!

My tin toy sand pails, shovels, seashells on an old chippy blue shelf!

I hope you all have enjoyed the pics, as much as I have enjoyed sharing

them with you! I hope you all have a wonderful time this summer!!
