Room Makeover-layering

This is a story about a room....

That started as a blank slate....

Nailhead Corkboard project

Memo-boards...

Can you have enough of them?

I love using them for tucking in all the photos and 

special things that happen throughout a year...

The Flea Affaire 2014

I am so excited!

I get to be a 

"shabby-chic-vintage-country-cottage-junk-lady" 

this weekend!

After going to The Flea Affaire last year, 

I decided to support the cause with a booth I am sharing with two other women.  

Check out my blog post from last year (here).

Can't wait to show you what it will look like 

and looking forward to a fun day tomorrow selling my "wares".

You know what they say...one woman's "junk" is another one's treasure! 

Have a great weekend!

Post-card Friday--San Fran/Oakland Bay Bridge

Vintage Postcards are like works of art.

This one from the early 1900's is

of the Bay Bridge--

 Beautiful paper quality and artistic rendering...the

view today is remarkably similar...

RH Acanthus Lamp "copy-cat"

Sometimes you just know how it will look...

You see the "after" 

even before you buy the "before" version.

Restoration Hardware is my holy grail of accent items.

Their catalog is full of exquisite architectural finds turned decor.

One of my favorites is the Acanthus lamp (below.)

Vintage Postcard

Happy May Day!

Traditionally celebrated with flowers...

I thought this vintage postcard was appropo...

I just love vintage postcards and have a growing collection...

I plan on sharing some each month.

From a time gone by...

-- more than 100 years ago this one was sent --

before addresses were needed...

just a note to say "hi" and "how are you now days." 

How are you now days?
