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 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?

Bathroom Makeover....Finally Finished!

For the past two weeks we have been super busy remodeling/painting/redecorating our master bathroom! A few minor things left to do, but pretty much finished! I could not be happier with the results!

I decided with a very light grayish color, forgive me, I misplaced the paint swatch, or I would share the paint color with you...I have wanted to downsize for the longest time, so I have taken out any large pieces of furniture for this bathroom! I have been downsizing a lot throughout my house, and let me just tell you, that less is definitely more!! Keeping just what I absolutely love and selling everything else! If you recall, I did have a huge white wall cabinet hanging in this corner, no more! I love the simplicity of just mirrors, especially my fav, these beveled frameless ones with old chains!


The last thing left to do is to put all the doorknobs back on, and maybe one more coat of paint on two of the doors, that's all. Since the one door on the right opens against the wall with this door header, I am left wondering if I should hang a picture or mirror above it, what do you think? I am liking the simpleness.....

I have had this chippy white/grey mantel mirror for a long time now, I truly love it, but let me just say that finding a better spot for it, makes me love it that much more! All silver accessories displayed on it, looks wonderful! Don't you agree??

Until next time... I hope you all have enjoyed this makeover! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hot Days & Cool Finds!!

Let's just say the weather here in Georgia is down right scorching HOT! No relief in sight! The only thing to take your mind off the heat is finding some cool stuff! The estate sales and yard sales have picked up tremendously!! Why couldn't they be better in the fall and winter?? One of my finds is this great antique silver tray, displayed behind some seltzer bottles... I have more than enough trays, but for 5.00 I love it!

A few small trophy's added to my collection displayed across the mantel. I have a passion for antique silver trophy's. I don't think I will ever get tired of them!

Most things I have found lately has been going to my booth. I try not to keep a lot of stuff, like I have in the past! I have been meaning to open an Etsy shop too, maybe soon, we shall see.

One of my favorite finds is this awesome antique frame found for only 2.00 I added the old wedding photo. Isn't the detail on the frame just wonderful? It has urns with flowers on each side! I have never seen another one like it! I love collecting antique frames! How about you?

For the past 2 weekends I decided not to go to any yard sales. We have been doing a lot of remodeling, painting, downsizing, etc..but on the way home from taking things to my booth, I thought why not stop at this one estate sale and see what is left! I am so glad I did! I bought this victorian mesh little purse for 35.00 She was asking 65.00! I have started a collection of antique purses and these are my favorites! I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Have a wonderful weekend!
