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!

Continued Bedroom Makeover





Well....There were a lot of yard sales and a few estate sales today. It was a full day of

adventure, digging through junk, and well, let's just say it was definitely slim-pickins!!

I found some things for my booth, but only a couple of things I kept for myself. Not much

to share, but I did want to show you the rest of this guest bedroom makeover!

I really love this front bedroom that no one uses, it is just a guest bedroom, my getaway!

It has been painted this same green for years, and have grown to love it. Why I ever

decorated with vintage pink stuff with this color green, is beyond me! I love the cream color, with tans and black mixed in. There isn't too much in this room that I would change now. I do believe I am happy with it....for now! The things I love for this room are old black and white framed pictures, vintage suitcases, silver trophy's, antique crochet, and mostly old alarm clocks!

I hope you have enjoyed this little makeover. If you should have any ideas you would like to share, fell free! I would love to hear from you! Have a wonderful weekend!
