Get To Big Lots!

Head to your Big Lots if you like industrial/farmhouse style decor. They have a whole isle full of vintage inspired things like metal locker baskets, old looking keys, numbered cabinet knobs, etc., (some of it is cheesy but its mostly really cute stuff).

I bought this wire basket...

which I could never have too many of.

And I also bought this bottle carrier. I have been looking for an antique one of these for awhile now but at $18 this one will due just fine. It actually looks old to me...

they even made the handle look aged and paint splattered.

I was so excited to find that old milk bottles fit perfectly inside the bottle carrier.

There were other things that I wanted to buy but I had to draw the line somewhere. I am trying to save every penny I can because the flea market will be starting soon! I am dying to go!

I am going through serious treasure hunting withdrawal, I have a whole mental list of things I am on the hunt for this year.

Speaking of treasure hunts, my family and I are having a huge indoor TAG SALE in Harmony, PA on May 11. There will be lots of old things...I will elaborate more in a future post.

Happy Friday....now go get to Big Lots!

Little White Cupboard

Lucky for me my mom didn't want this adorable white cupboard anymore.

I decided to put in our front room next to the door. I wanted to move the other little table out onto our porch come warm weather anyways.

I just love it's original white paint and it even has a little cutting board that slides out. I also found a "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval sticker inside.

I think it is the perfect addition to this room plus it provides us with more storage and you know how I feel about storage!

Thanks Mom :)

Happy Spring

It finally feels like Spring here! It is still a little chilly but I was able to accomplish some things outside and enjoy the sunshine while I was at it. And with all the sunshine streaming through the windows I just had to take some pictures.

Guest Bedroom Part 2

Don't you just love when you find a couple really great things that totally pull a room together? 

This is the other side of our guest bedroom and I recently found just the perfect things to add to it. 

The red magazine rack pictured above was a thrift store find and aside from great storage it helps carry that little bit of red that I have placed around the room. 

The sideboard/dresser was a thrift store find that I painted "Bone Folder" by Martha Stewart, one of my favorite go to whites.

I just bought this tool caddy at an Antique Co-op and it is perfect for holding the little things that a guest might need.

I also bought this amazing antique basket at the same co-op, I have extra linens and blankets in it. I was so excited to find these quilted throws at Target on clearance, they are just right for this room.

I was lucky enough to visit my favorite shop, Romantique Boutique, last week and this embroidered linen from the 1800's was one of the many wonderful things I purchased.

And some clearance Ralph Lauren pillow cases add just a little bit of farmhouse charm to the bedding.

The red striped vintage bucket was also a Romantique Boutique purchase and is the perfect size for my hydrangea. I know I have said it over and over but if there is any way for you to get to that store do it! They have the most amazing things and their displays are so inspiring.

And I just had to show you this beautiful sign that my sister made me for Easter because she knows that I am white obsessed!
