My Latest Thrifting Finds

March 23, 2015

Hello there and welcome to spring!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and found time to indulge in something you love. It was pretty quiet around my parts with a good portion of the weekend rained out. One of the highlights of our weekend was purchasing a new vacuum. After some research and trying to decide between a Dyson and a Shark, we decided on the Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away. Let me tell you this vaccum is awesome! I can’t believe the amount of carpet fuzz and dust it picked up.

One of the other things I was able to do this weekend was to pop into one of my favorite thrift stores. I literally had about 10 minutes to look around but was able to find a few treasures in that short period of time (some for me and some for my Etsy shop) and happy that I spent less than $25.

Here’s what I scored…

This gold ice bucket is a vintage piece from designer George Briard. It was a deal at $8.00 and is signed by the artist on the bottom. I’ll be putting this piece in my Etsy shop.

I’ve been looking for a small accent table to place in our bathroom and came across this one for $5.00. The style is definitely not me so I’m going to paint it black or gold, or maybe a combination of the two.

I love vintage brass pieces and thought this brass damper hook was a great find. It’s going in my Etsy shop.

And the last thing I found were these metal wall bins. They were $1.50 each and I’m planning to stencil numbers on the front of each one and then hang them on a wall in our kitchen.

Pretty good scores right?!

Now that spring is here, I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of antique and thrift shopping.

Have you had any great thrifting finds lately?

A Lighting Company that’s so much more!

March 5, 2015

On a daily basis my mailbox is filled with catalogs. I try my best to flip through each one but often times they get laid to the side and then in a moment of de-cluttering they get thrown in the trash.

The other day I received the Rejuvenation Lighting & House Parts catalog in the mail and immediately stopped, dropped and looked at every page. The cover image is what caught my attention and I couldn’t wait to learn more about this lighting and home line.

Rejuvenation House Parts was founded in 1977, but the story really begins in 1975 – when Jim Kelly purchased a condemned saloon in a rough-hewn Portland, Oregon neighborhood for $1,000. During two years of extensive renovations, Kelly had a difficult time finding the lighting and house parts he needed to preserve the historic character and details of his small building.

Recognizing an opportunity, he decided to use his small storefront to serve the needs of like-minded old-house renovators. After borrowing $2,500, he opened what was essentially a specialized junk store selling architectural salvage – things like doors, windows, light fixtures, clawfoot tubs. Using antique fixtures as models, he hired his first “manufacturing” employee to start making basic reproduction Victorian and early 20th-century ceiling fixtures and wall brackets.

By 1982, strong demand encouraged Kelly to create a mail-order catalogue. In 2011, Rejuvenation joined the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. portfolio of brands. Today we offer a wide range of products, including furniture and home décor, and have four retail stores.

At first glance Rejuvenation is a lighting company but boy-oh-boy do they have so much more to offer.

Eclectic Spring Tablescape

April 19, 2014

Happy Saturday!

It’s kind of a lazy day around my parts. I’m still getting caught up on laundry from my trip and working on setting up new items in my Etsy shop. Yesterday I was going to share a simple and eclectic tablescape I pulled together to celebrate spring and Easter but the day was gloomy and getting a decent picture was not in the cards. The sky today is still dreary but I was able to capture a few shots of the table.

I love to style tabletops and during the spring and summer eclectic and colorful is my style of choice.

For this spring centerpiece I used a collection of vintage and new pieces I had around the house.

The tulips and round greenery sphere are placed in a vintage trophy urns and a two large mercury glass balls are displayed under a glass cloche I picked up at a sample sale.

For the place setting I used black and white striped placemats from Ikea and a mix of plates from Target and HomeGoods. I made the polka dot napkins.

To add a pop of color, I filled a twig birds nest with colorful felt balls. The brass bird-cage adds to the eclectic mix.

We’re not doing anything major for Easter brunch but I will be adding a special Easter touch to the table tomorrow. I’ll pop in tomorrow and share it with you.
