Guest Bedroom Makeover~ RL & Burlap

Today I thought I would share a bedroom makeover I did this week....Using what I already have....Just bought a new Ralph Lauren comforter set from T.J Maxx...I thought this particular set would look great with my burlap pillow slips...Some recent finds...vintage beaded light bulb covers...these are very hard to find! I found them at an estate sale for only 5.00 each! Right now they are nesting in this 3 tier wire display with other vintage treasures until I find some pretty lamps to use them on!

A close-up of some vintage silver brushes, mirrors, antique lace, millinery flowers, tiaras, etc..
A vintage dress form dressed all in cream, from head to toe...
One of my favorites, Hanging on the closet door, Is the antique dress slip covered in vintage lace around the bottom!! So pretty!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day! Be sure to check back, I will be posting about some more recent finds....

IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH SINCE MY LAST POST....THE WEATHER HERE IN GEORGIA IS SO WARM, IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS...I WANT SNOW ON CHRISTMAS! JUST A LITTLE, NO BLIZZARD....

A RECENT FIND IS THIS INDUSTRIAL CART WITH REMOVABLE PORCELAIN SHELVES, I JUST LOVE THE IRON LEGS. ANOTHER FIND IS THE HUGE TROPHY SITTING ON TOP, BOTH WERE FOUND AT SCOTT'S IN ATLANTA....I LOVE GOING EVERY MONTH THAT I CAN MAKE IT THERE. AS MUCH AS I LOVE A BARGAIN AT ESTATE SALES, THERE ISN'T A LOT GOING ON LATELY...JUST PLAIN OLD JUNK, NOT EVEN GOOD JUNK!
