My Vintage Shelves

April 4, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

After Easter was over, I decided to change my shelves.  I like to use them a focal point.  They are one of the first things you see as you walk in in our home.  So it is fun to change them up and move things around.  This time was no exception.  I am calling these my vintage shelves because the items look vintage.  They may not really be vintage.  But, it works for me. (hehe)

Actually a lot of these things are either from Hobby Lobby or the thrift store.  Score!!

Would you like to tour my vintage shelves??  Alrighty then, let’s get going!!

 

Vintage ShelvesThey are filled with things I love.

Vintage ShelvesOn the top you will find a finial that I purchased at HL.  Gotta love HL!!  I just love the colors and the aged, vintage look.  The candlesticks are both thrift finds that I painted with a flat white paint.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe large frame is usually hanging in the TV Room (which is now an office, a reveal on that coming soon!!)  The stenciled  fleur de lis is a project I hung in the guest bathroom for awhile. For now they look happy on my vintage shelves.

Vintage ShelvesThe bottom shelf holds another fur elise frame, along with an apothecary jar, family subway art (sorry, I don’t know where I got it-I found it long before I had a blog), and a silver candlestick that is a thrift find.  The door knob plate is also a HL find.  Love the color and detail.

Vintage ShelvesI love the feel of vintage with whites, blues, greens, and a little silver.  That must be why I like these shelves so much!!

Vintage ShelvesThis apothecary jar is a thrift find.  I like it filled with dried hydrangeas.

Do you have shelves or a mantel you like to decorate??

Vintage ShelvesThese shelves just make me smile!!  They have the colors, feel, and style I like.

I hope my shelves have inspired you to decorate your shelves, mantel or bookshelves this week!!

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique Finds

May 14, 2013 By Meegan 1 Comment

Good Morning!  Today I am going to share a few of my antiques and thrift finds.

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique Finds

I love glass.  I love blue glass.  I love antiques.  I love to go antiquing.  I love thrifting.  I love what I find when I go thrifting.  Hence I love sharing with you some of my antique finds and thrifting gems.  Some of these are gifts and others I bought my self.

Here are just a few of my antiques and thrifted items that I have put together in our living room recently.   The colors say “Spring is here and Summer is coming soon…”

 

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsRight off the bat I have black and white family pictures.  They really are all our family.  I didn’t purchase these.  The frosted blue insulator is one of my favorite antique finds.  I love the waves in the glass.

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsAll of these pieces were found at our local thrift store.  Yep, even the blue Mason jar was found there for a buck!!  Yes!!  The 2 vases are from my friend Barbara. I found the candle stand when it was a yucky,dirty brown-of course, I painted it shades of blue.

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsWhile I was taking pictures for this post, a package came from my daughter.  Guess what was in it??   Two more insulators!!  One almost clear, and the other a deep turquoise.  My kids know me well.  They were both found at an antique mall near my daughter’s home.

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsOn my bookshelf, I placed my galvanized watering can.  Hubby bought it for me years ago while antiquing in California.  The watering can blends well with the black and white pictures, don’t you think?

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsThe galvanized pot with the blue ribbon is what I used for Easter.  The blue bottle is from another antiquing trip in Morro Bay, CA.

The small urn was not found thrifting or antiquing, but at Big Lots for $2.  I brought it home,painted it white, and filled it with green moss.  (Can you tell I like paint?)

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsI really like all of these elements placed together.

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique FindsThe tray was a thrift find for $1, as was the turquoise vase.  The other 2 vases were also from Barbara.

Bring Spring & Summer In with Thrifted & Antique Finds The marbles and sea glass were purchased at Target on sale.  Lucky me!  Using different levels and vessels I can bring Spring and Summer into our home with very little cost or effort.

Those are just a few of my antiques and thrift finds.  I am still working on a thrifted dining table and chairs that I will share very soon.  I can’t wait till you see it!

Until then..
