White Wednesday " Goodwill = Love "

I love how the Dior home is filled

with such amazing treasures that

I find at the Goodwill...

So much that Mr. Dior asked for

a small change in scenery that would remind us

of the coastal vacation spot that we love...

I decided I still had to put my style into it

with my love for industrial.

Yes it's true I'm not a ruffles kind of girl...

The industrial table is an old

cobbler work station from  Chicago. I placed it

as a platform to start my vignette. I love all of the holes

and nubby crannies that it has. The age worn character

is my favorite part...

{it even had the drawer missing]

I scoured the Goodwill for nice books that

go well with the decor and make an

eye pleasing display...

Mr. Dior and I found these old benches at

the Goodwill that were such a steal.

We brought them home and recovered them

in remnant linen that I found there

in their curtain & bedding section.

These benches will be the perfect extra seating that

can be tucked away when not in use.

I love using natural elements which

I typically can find at the Goodwill

in the basket section ie old wood

crates that can be white washed...

I will be sharing more of the room next week

using all of our Goodwill finds...

My gratitude to Apartment Therapy for

featuring my Rubber Door Mat Wall Art

on their website yesterday...

Vintage Shutter Love

The Dior home has a love

for vintage shutters...

I love to hang them against burlap...

I use them on top of dressers & tables

I love to use them in displays

at Country Roads

add them to a bookcase...

 I love using natural elements...

Linking up to the lovely

Debra for her Vintage Inspiration Friday

Much love to all of you

Vintage Inspiration Friday " patina of old "

The years of worn have such

a beautiful patina...

Vintage bottles, worn hymnals and an old bucket

were my inspiration this week

for a table scape by my window.

I love how beautiful its looks when the

sunlight shines through...

I added this vintage ashtray to the table 

the patina sent my heart soaring...

I draped the table with old white gauze

and worn nubby burlap...

Added some old books and fragments to

this aged garden piece...

I am joining the lovely Debra today

at her Vintage Inspiration Friday.

Much love to all of you

XOXO

Perspective

"Intellect takes us along in the battle

of life to a certain limit, But at that crucial

moment it fails us.

FAITH transcends reason.

It is when the horizon is the darkest

human reason is beaten down to the ground

 that Faith shines bright and comes to our rescue"

Mahatma Gandhi

Love to each of you...
