HOW WAS EVERYONE'S JUNKIN' WEEKEND.??...WELL I WAS HOPING FOR BETTER, BUT IT WAS JUST ALRIGHT. THE BEST THING I FOUND FOR MYSELF WAS THIS AWESOME SILVER OVER COPPER HUMONGOUS TRAY....ONLY 3.OO! THE SELLER DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!! SCORE!! I LOVE IT DISPLAYED ON MY DRESSER WITH A LARGE TROPHY AND OTHER VINTAGE TREASURES.... THE FLORAL DETAIL AROUND THE EDGES ARE SO DIFFERENT FROM THE TRAYS I NORMALLY FIND, SO I DECIDED THAT THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY A KEEPER!!

I FOUND THIS TROPHY ON EBAY TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION.........

THIS ADORABLE VINTAGE DRESS THAT I RECEIVED FROM A SWEET FRIEND, I JUST LOVE THE FLORAL DETAIL ACROSS THE BOTTOM PORTION...PRETTY-PRETTY! I JUST HAVEN'T FOUND A PERMANENT PLACE TO DISPLAY IT YET....AT THE MOMENT IT IS HANGING UP IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM....

JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, HUBBY FOUND THIS SWEET LITTLE ENGLISH CUPBOARD FOR ME AT AN ESTATE SALE, INCLUDED WAS THE ORIGINAL KEY TO IT....I LOVE IT DISPLAYED IN MY LAUNDRY ROOM WITH OLD DOLLS, JARS, ETC...

FOUND A FEW MORE OLD DOOR KNOBS, BUTTONS, LACE, AND VINTAGE ALARM CLOCKS TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM....SOME THINGS YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF, RIGHT?

WISHING EVERYONE HAPPY TRAILS THIS WEEKEND....I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PICS, REMEMBER YOU CAN CLICK ON EACH PICTURE TO ENLARGE!! LOOKS LIKE A 200 FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY IS NEAR....BECOME A FOLLOWER TODAY...IT WILL BE AN AWESOME GIVEAWAY..I PROMISE!!

Simple Before & After Photos

HI EVERYONE...I HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY SO FAR... I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A SIMPLE MAKEOVER....WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IN A ROOM, SIMPLY BY JUST CHANGING THE BEDDING AND A FEW ACCESSORIES........THIS IS HOW THIS GUEST BEDROOM LOOKED BEFORE....AND BELOW ARE THE PICTURES OF AFTER...........
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS RALPH LAUREN COMFORTER SET....THE BEIGE BACKGROUND MATCHES GREAT WITH THE FURNITURE IN THIS ROOM....THE ROSES AND COLORS ARE NOT TO PINK, MORE OF A RASPBERRY COLOR. I DON'T THINK I COULD OF FOUND A MORE PERFECT BEDSPREAD FOR THIS ROOM...ISN'T IT PRETTY?

I WAS AMAZED AT HOW MUCH THE COLORS AND PATTERN MATCH SO WELL WITH MY BOX PILLOWS, THAT I GOT FROM CAROLYN WESTBROOK A FEW YEARS BACK....

A SOFTER MORE ROMANTIC FEEL TO THIS ROOM NOW...I THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE SOLID COLORS AND LESS PATTERN, BUT AFTER A WHILE YOU DO GET BORED WITH IT! I JUST LOVE COLOR AND PRETTY ROSES!!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS MINI MAKEOVER...I WOULD SO LOVE TO HEAR WHAT ELSE YOU WOULD CHANGE OR NOT CHANGE...HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL DAY!!

I Love Being A Grandma!

MY OLDEST DAUGHTER BRITTANY TOOK THESE PICTURES OF ME AND MY ONLY GRANDCHILD COLIN...ISN'T HE PRECIOUS! I AM NANA! I LOVE SPENDING AS MUCH

TIME AS POSSIBLE WITH HIM! COLIN JUST TURNED 2 YEARS OLD JUNE 15TH. HE IS VERY SMART, SWEET, AND LOVES HIS NANA!! I LOVE SPOILING HIM AS MOST NANA'S DO!!
SITTING ON THE SWING WITH HIS NANA....I WONDER WHAT HE IS THINKING...

SUCH A SWEET SWEET SMILE....ENOUGH SWEETNESS TO GET OUT OF ANY TROUBLE!

I HOPE HE KNOWS HOW MUCH HE IS LOVED!! I WONDER SOMETIMES IF THIS WILL BE MY ONLY GRANDCHILD...I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A COUPLE MORE, BUT NOT TOO SOON THOUGH....

OFF TO SEE WHAT MORE THINGS TO GET INTO AT NANA'S HOUSE.....HE LOVES TO PLAY WITH THE COMPUTER AND THE PHONES! HIS DADDY REPAIRS COMPUTERS, SO MAYBE HE WILL FOLLOW IN HIS FOOT STEPS, AND BE A COMPUTER GENIUS....WE COULD ALL USE ONE OF THOSE IN EVERY FAMILY, HUH? I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND WITH YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS...ENJOY SPOILING YOUR GRANDCHILDREN!!

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!!

   I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST POST...I HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY REDECORATING & DOWNSIZING!! TAKING LOTS OF AWESOME THINGS TO MY BOOTH!

THIS PICTURE ABOVE IS THE BEFORE PICTURE OF ONE SIDE OF MY LIVINGROOM. I WAS FEELING QUITE BORED AND NOT SO HAPPY WITH IT. I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO BRING MORE OF THE DARKER COLORS INTO PLACE! ADDING WARMTH, TEXTURE AND LOTS MORE INTERESTING TREASURES.....

IN THE CENTER OF MY MANTEL DISPLAY IS THIS "OUR MOTHER" MEMORIAL FRAMED AND DATED 1905! THIS WAS A WONDERFUL ESTATE FIND FROM A FEW YEARS BACK! DISPLAYED WITH IT ARE SOME VINTAGE TROPHIES, SILVER TREASURES, MY FAV OLD CLOCK, WITH OLD BOOKS! MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN BEFORE, DON'T YOU THINK??

OLD COLUMN LAMPS, ANTIQUE LIGHTNING RODS, STATUES, AND ARCHITECTURAL ITEMS ADD A LOT MORE INTEREST THAN JUST A BUNCH OF OLD CHIPPY WHITE TREASURES, LOL..
