Flea Market Finds

Hi there friends...I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! 

~~~

My mom and I went out early yesterday morning and our first stop was to the indoor flea market.

I came home with lots of goodies!!

There was a vendor right outside the main entrance...he had all these pretty oil paintings lined up against the building. My mom and I both headed straight to this beauty! 

I'm heading to Hobby Lobby tomorrow to have it framed.

Yes another demijohn came home with me...this one stands almost 20in high. The lady was asking $8.00 for it but I got it for $6.00!! 

I still can't believe I paid $100 for my first two!!

My mom bought this cute little brass tray for me...

and another glass insulator...it's the darker one on the right.

She also bought me this small red transferware platter...it will be added to the wall in my dining room.

I want to add a few more pieces around the mirror.

Last but not least... I spotted these chippy green shutters and knew they had to come home with me!!

I plan on using them in my living room...still playing around with the best placement...but I LOVE the look!!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a super week!!

~Antique Lamp in the Living Room~

Hi there friends...Happy Wednesday!

I have to tell ya... my absolute favorite antique store is the one I found in Connecticut near the hubbies back doctor. I never leave there empty handed... their prices are great too!!

They never disappoint...they always have great furniture and salvage pieces along with other goodies.

~~~

On this last trip I came home with this pretty antique lamp.

I thought the small shell shades looked so pretty on it.

I had the owner check the lamp to make sure it worked before I brought it home.

  I did a happy dance (in my head of course) when I saw the light come on!

The lamp was not the only change here...I pulled the red urn I ordered from Luckett's last year out of storage and added an ivy plant to it. 
I love the new look on this chest!

A before and after...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm having company today for lunch so I better go get myself ready!

The Master Bedroom

Hi there friends...

Can you believe I gave you guys a little peek at some of the changes being made in our master bedroom way back in March and I'm just finally getting around to show you the room now!!

That's what happens when you have to many projects going on at once!

~~~

Let's have a look...
I replaced our old bed with a new linen 
upholstered headboard that I ordered from 

Home Decorators I LOVE the soft look it gave the room.

The next photo is a reminder of what our old bed looked like. 
I still love the look of this bed but I was ready for a little change. 

See much softer...

The bench I made over way back when...was placed at the foot of the bed.

 

I added white ironstone plates above the pictures. The white coverlet I had for years...the buffalo check duvet and shams I ordered from Ikea when I ordered the blue ticking set for my son's room... and the burlap bedskirt came from Ballards.

That pretty pillow was made for me by Linda...she's Kristen from the blog Sophia's mom.

 Linda made the pillows in my family room here too...she does beautiful work!

 She also made me a pretty topper for my skirted bedside table.

 I added the other glass lamp to my dresser...I love the way the two look on there.

 A shot with the lights off...

 The antique basket I found at the Country Living Fair was added to the top of my husbands highboy along with the other pillow Linda made for me.

Look at that pretty detail...

A vignette on top of my husbands other dresser...

and our wedding photo from 17 years ago:-)

 So happy with the changes that were made in here!

Thanks so much for visiting!!

DIY demijohn lamp...

 Hi there friends...

Hope you all had a great weekend!
~~~

My collection of 

demijohns has grown rapidly and I just picked up two more for a steal! This was another $10 find that I found at a flea market last week and decided to turn it into a lamp.

Yes that's a new sofa table it's sitting on but your only getting a peek today...that's a whole other post ;-)

I simply bought one of those lamps kits at Home Depot and had the hubby put it together for me.

 The cord hanging behind the lamp drove him CRAZY!! So he went out and bought a drill bit that goes through glass and sent the cord up the inside of the bottle. 

Gotta love him! 

I love it so much better this way too and for a change I didn't have to ask him to do it lol!

I had the burlap shade on hand and just added the striped trim to it...I think I still might order a new burlap shade from PB. 

 Light on...  

One last look from the other side.

  Here's a little peek at what I just worked on for our youngest's room. She was ready for some changes in her room so stay tuned! 

She thinks she's a decorating DIVA now lol!!

Have a great week!!
