~BEFORE & AFTER~

 Hi there friends...

There's a lot of changes going on in our master bedroom that I will be showing you all soon...just waiting on two more things to arrive.

I wanted a bench for the foot of our bed and ordered this one from Plow & Hearth knowing it was going to get painted.

~~~

Are you ready for another before & after...

 Here's the before...a factory finished maple.

 And here's the after...a soft...worn...white finish...much better!

I borrowed this fern from our front stoop for the photo ;-)

 One more before...

 And After...

 Stay tuned for the master bedroom reveal!

~Botanical Plate~

 Hi there friends...hope your all having a great week!
~~~

Remember when I told you guys about the great antique store I found in Connecticut that's right near my hubby's back doctor...

 it's where I found the antique cabinet for our master bath.

~~~
Hubs had to go for another follow up last week... there is no way I can just drive by this shop without taking a quick peek!!

This time I only came home with one thing...

I thought this plate was so pretty I couldn't pass it up!

 The markings on the back said it came from England. I should have taken a picture before I put the plate holder on.

 It fits right in with the four botanical prints I have hanging in here.

  The best part is I only paid $5.00 for it!

Another great find!

Starting A New Collection!!

 Hi there friends...

Remember when I bought the ladder for my master bath I said I came home with a few more goodies...well these old canes and walking stick are them.

 I've been looking at these canes every time I go into an antique store and some of them are priced at $60 & $70 a piece!! 
~~~
It must have been my lucky day... I got all five for $50!!

When the seller said ten dollars a piece...I said I'll take them all!

The container I've had for a while...I bought it in Hobby Lobby. It's the perfect size and it leaves me room to add a few more ;-)

Just what I needed...another collection!! 
Have a great week!!
