Hi friends, welcome! I've been having some fun decorating with some red ,white and blues. Somehow I always relate summer to those colors. It's been dangerously hot outside! I run from the house to the vehicle lol.
I incorporated some colorful glassware to stream the beams of sight throughout. Cabin style stars fill a metal bowl on the coffee table along with other patriotic treasures. Thanks so much for dropping in today, stay hydrated friends!

Welcome, I've been having fun putting a bit of life back into some tired. Finds.
First up: 2 sturdy wooden candle holders. Slim and full of interesting cut outs. So I simply gave them a bit of white paint, this brought the carving to life. A bit of greenery, a bow and a candle on top.
Next up is the wire basket, not sure what the basket is actually for , so I simply painted it a bit with some Elmer's glue and sprinkled some cinnamon powder and let it dry. This is a great way to add a rusty look, just added a bow and some lemons.
The corbels I decided not paint, thier present look is to lovely. I simply hung on each side of the doorway into the dining room, added a slat of wood for a shelf over the door. A cute place to display some glassware.
The blue glass soap dish is holding a lovely lemon scented soap. The 2 brass dish holders are on display with 2 green dishes that I found at target.
The black pop over pan I have decided to stow away and try my hand at some homemade pop overs .
It has been fun on this stormy day giving new life to some thrift store finds. How about you? Love to hear from you in the comments! Share with us your thrift store treasures!
Happy Thrifting!

Happy day to you! Welcome! I recently took a trip to our local Goodwill . I love to hunt for treasures! I always have a vision of what I'd like to find and many times I do.
Although many finds will be painted and transformed into farmhouse beauties. This haul included some beautiful heavy metal corbels. Two wooden candle sticks, an egg basket, dish hangers, a new Edison bulb, a heavy blue glass soap dish and a very heavy pop over pan.
My next post will show you how I transform some of these items and how I use them in my farmhouse decor! Some will get a lick of paint, some will be hung.
Tune in to my next post as I show you how I have transformed these items and added them to my decor.
Did I mention thrifting is very good for your sole, a type of self therapy if you will.
Until next time,
Happy Thrifting
