Gracie's Post " Mama's Reclaimed Style "

Fall is here and mom and I are busy scouring the Goodwills and

yard sales for some reclaimed home decor on a budget...

Mom cannot pass up old bottles so she filled

this old box that she painted gray

and added a vintage knob...

centerpiece perfection filled with wild flowers

or left as is...

All her event planning years have her

hard wired to create

cost effective centerpieces...

Here an old wood box she filled with rusted curtain brackets

and a piece of scrap burlap

great for the fall...

you could add leaves or flowers or even

veggies for a pop of color...

One of our favorites is a vintage cash register

drawer than she got for a few dollars and filled

it with our family photos...

{family is love}

Old stoppers, vintage books

and of course a piece of coral

I don't think we have a room without

coral in it somewhere...

She loves twigs they are

the staple in her decor closet...

Mom uses a lot of reclaimed wood

that she finds for free...

Mom married these old shutters

with a wood bookcase earlier

at Country Roads...

Old door headboards

We have spent many years cuddling

in the loft...

Nothing makes it more beautiful than

pillows from Mom's friend Rose

at The Tarnished Crown

A woman can never have enough shoes

I mean Shutters...

Mom picks up old jewel boxes at the Goodwill

for a few dollars and fills them with

her small scrap pieces of coral...

And for the finale my outfit...

Now I shop with mom weekly for my outfits

at the Goodwill "Whew" I have a lot to learn...

Skirt Gap  3.99

Sweater Banana Republic  2.99

Old Navy leggings   1.99

Old Navy Top  1.99

and Mom scored me these Arizona boots there for 4.99

fit for a Princess...

Much love from me

Peace Out

White Wednesday

Much love to all of you

XOXO

Where the road leads...

to my friend Kari, this one's for you...

the travels of one's heart

is the most precious journey

of them all...

the love of a friend

is the greatest treasure

and God's sweetest blessing...

know that you are loved...

the one that holds your hand

holds your heart as well...

time is a gift

that sometimes we fail to use...

sending you love from

the miles between us...

simply some inspiration from

me to you...

XOXO

GOODWILL & Reclaimed Bliss...

I fell in love with this old bleached wood at a yard sale

{so in love}

I got it for free!!! So I put Mr. Dior to work and married it with two

vintage egg crates that I scored from Goodwill  for 5.00

my oldest son loves to cook

so I had to have his favorite bread book

for my table

I purchased a sampler can of Charcoal

from Restoration Hardware to use

on a few accent pieces...

old cast iron urn from the Goodwill

5.99

love how it looks with the Charcoal paint

I also used it on the top of this old school desk

from the Goodwill as well

I also found some great frames ranging from

3.99 to 5.99

to frame my favorite drawings from

an old anatomy book and sea fan coral

{swoon Goodwill}

I added some dark colored old books

and other accessories 

from an Estate sale inside my white hutch for

a pop of color blend...

filled the urn with my touch

of sea sponge and albalone shells

Have a beautiful week

my darlings...

This is for Sue
