Vintage Inspiration Friday



When I think about what

I love most about the use of

vintage pieces is how

they add wonderful

touches throughout your home...





I salvaged this old door from

a torn down home and knew

it would be a perfect back drop...





I decided to marry it

in a corner of the room

with a treasured vintage suitcase

and an old piano bench

to hold extra bed pillows




Later I dry brushed

the piano bench with white

so that I could use it

with one of the vintage ladders

I found at a yard sale...





My heart skips a beat when I

find an old ladder

{swoon}





The arched vintage window

is still among my favorite

finds...




I added baskets to this

vintage ladder that I took

to my space at Country Roads...




I am linking up to

the lovely Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday #85

Wishing all of you

a blessed weekend...

XOXO

Hi Kate! Just found you through Debra at Common Ground and must say I am so glad! What a wonderful blog to find!

I have just started a blog and have added your button to my sidebar and also added you to my blog list. And I am a new follower!

Also know you are in my prayers. I have a couple of friends that also suffer from Lupus and I know how horribly that affects their life. But just like you, they try to make the best of it and live life as fully possible.

Blessings,

Hi Kate, Oh girl you have my #. I have a fetish for old doors, ladders, windows, and pillars. So much so that hubby will even say (when I leave to go thrifting or vaca with the girls) Just don't bring home any old windows or doors. Never stopped me yet. lol! I love your corner display. Everything looks so fresh and lovely. Hope you are feeling better.
hugs,
Jann

Oh such lovelyness... Love it all.
I found you at Amber's blog and you invited me in your circle on Etsy.
Such serendipity to found your blog! I love it.
And... you are close by! I should visit country roads.

I have a love for ladders too.
Just found a huge wood ladder dumped outside somewhere. Hubby told me that pear pickers used them against trees.
I hope some day soon to use it to have roses climb against it.

Or maybe... I should just use it for display in my bedroom. We have high ceilings there.

Will become your newest follower!
