Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Some Nostalgia

Good afternoon!

I love the weekends for many reasons but one is.. Garage Sales!

I am helping a friend with their home and while we were out I came upon this that brought up so many memories of growing up.

I remember walking around with the phone and ahem..walking too far and getting yanked.  I remember my parents trying to listen in on my conversations. Oh, the memories.

Being at the sale and seeing this relic I knew I had to have it.  Now every time I walk by it brings a smile to my face.

Check out some garage sales this weekend it just might bring back good memories.

Dining Room Reveal

Good Afternoon!

 

I am so happy that I have finished giving our dining room a fresh update.

You can see what it looked like before here. 

 

 Changed the placement of the mirror and the space feels so much bigger.  Paint colors add to the space being able to breathe.

 

 The art is actually vintage tv trays.  I love the pattern and how it adds life (I don't have a green thumb at all)

 

These chairs I got for $10.  LOVE!  The fur is from Ikea.

 

 A Mexican blanket on table makes it feel inviting like you're on a picnic.

 

 

 

 

Changed curtains to simple and white.  

 

And our view to outside.

Little changes can make a big difference.  

What updates are you doing?  What changes have you done in your home to welcome in the summer season?

A New But Familiar Shop

Good Evening!

Today was a pretty awesome day..

I am so happy that our town got a brand new store and I know most of you know who she is..

 

Urban Farmgirl

Love her sense of style and the unique pieces she creates. 

 The shop immediately drew me in.  I felt right at home.  There is something about aged materials that says you can just be yourself .. relax.

Needing character in your home...this is definitely the place to shop.

 Dying over that sign!

A touch of whimsy..

 So many goodies that I wanted to buy..

but I did come home with 2 things.

This gorgeous piece..

 Will be repurposed into something awesome in the near future : )

and

 this hook will hang some pretty plants in my kitchen.

 Thank you, Urban Farmgirl!  You just made our town a whole lot cooler : )

Some Vintage Scores

Good Afternoon!

I love a good garage sale and I have now got my daughter hooked as well.  We were on our way to the grocery store and we saw a sale going on.  I was doing my best to look away but she said, "Let's just take a look. "  Well, if you insist.

So here are her finds..

She got this for a $1 (I still have to take the orange tag off).  The frame was in rough shape so we sprayed it down with a silver metallic paint.  

This picture will go great with this..

 The candle sconce from Zgallerie still had the original price tag on it $25.  Yep, and we scored it for $4.  I am proud of my girl.  She can't wait til we hang up her finds in her room.

This is what I walked away with..

The paint on the legs were brown and chipped pretty badly.  This little stool ($8) needed some love.  Gave it a fresh start with some red.  I love it.

Then for me my ultimate find..

This was my Hallelujah moment.  Angels were singing and I made it mine ($8).  So for the total of scores equals to $21.  Yep, a real good day.

Do you enjoy going garage sale hunting?  What have been your most recent finds?
