Aren't these wonderful pictures??? I bought them both at garage sales. How could anyone sell them? I don't remember how much I paid for Jesus, but I know I paid 15 dollars for the bottom one. I've had it for many years and would NEVER get rid of it. It was missing the glass so the picture is a bit scratched up, but I don't care. I love it anyway.
Wonderful old suitcases............GREAT storage.
This is the room I bought the plaid silk fabrics for.......I also found a silk duvet cover to use for the daybed cover at Tuesday Morning........quite a bargain too! It's king size and came with two king size pillow shams for 100 dollars. Not bad for silk.........I'm going to remake it into the daybed cover and bolster pillows.
I bought the pine cupboard many years ago. It's always been one of my favorite things......yeah, I know, I do have a zillion favorite things! :-) That's the new chair on the left side, barely in the photo. It's
microsuede and really not my usual style.......my DD HATES it, but I think it's going to be just fine when it all comes together. I don't have very much white ironstone, but I do have these three platters. I love them. I love those old suitcases too.........I've looked for more for quite some time and just can't seem to find any great ones. The center one was my Mum's. She stored old pictures in it. I love having it. The curtain is made from an old damask tablecloth. Old fabrics have a look to them you just can't get with new fabric.
I collect old postcards and some find their way into this old planter. Isn't it sweet?
I love and collect heart shaped rocks.
Ok.........this is my collection. Isn't it pitiful? I do have a couple of big ones outside, but I think I'd better get busy looking for more small ones. My little grandson found the one on the bottom left for me.........not a good angle to show their heart shape......
I bought this little white chest at a garage sale for five dollars. It was painted with shiny black spray paint, had about ten inch legs that were pointy and the UGLIEST modern chrome handles. I added the little bun feet, new knobs and the little braided edge. A nice coat of paint and now it's a cute little piece. I like it because it's small so I can fit it in SOMEWHERE. I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed at what a few coats of paint can do for something.
The walls will be a cocoa color, the fabric is blue/brown plaid silk........the duvet from Tuesday Morning is ivory..........It's
soooooooooo not my usual look, but it's a den........and the room that my Darling Hubby uses to read, and I think he'll like it. I do try to please him once in awhile.......poor guy lives in a VERY girlie, pink house. (I didn't notice the tassel was crooked when I took this shot..............ooooooooooops!!!)
Thank you so very much for your visit.
God bless you.
