for five bucks...

This was yet another fun project our two crafty minds construed together!  I had been searching around for old windows here n there but couldn't seem to find one for a dirt cheap price.  I found one about an hour away that was LITERALLY falling to pieces and he wanted 24$ bucks. yeah right.
While i was looking around at the antique show i found a pair of windows leaning against a table and just as i walked by.. gazed like a deer in headlights with my eye on the prize an older man from a distance shouts "FIVE BUCKS FOR THOSE" ... immediately SOLD! I was so happy! I just love the look of an old dirty window hanging on a bare wall.  It's such a chic french farm look! When i was just about to hang it on the wall, gram was holding it up so i could see what was wrong... it was too bare. So check it out, its one of my favorite ideas yet . if you would like to order one let me know!






*of course the picture of the chandelier crystals is my favorite part; so glam!

the magical outcomes. a weekend with gramma kay

hi everyone!
sorry it has been so long since i have been able to update you all!  The past five days i have been put to work hard by the one and only gramma kay!  First we traveled around six hours to hagerstown, Maryland to meet halfway with gram and gramp!  Brielle was excellent to say the least!




We stayed the night and hitched the trailer packed full of vintage finds to the back of the truck!  I could not wait to unlock the treasure chest dragging behind us , so when we got home after who knows how long of driving (and sean's procrastinations) sean was ready to hit the hay, but gram and i? we wanted to get started... so we did.  Don't ever underestimate a woman! We pulled as much out as we could at a time until sean decided to pitch in!  My heart immediately was full of joy!  These are only a few pictures of some of the projects we started on.  I can't wait for everything to be finished so i can take a final picture of the rooms finished!  But come on, lets be realistic!  Thanks for stopping in!



i found this sign on the drive home at a gas station tag sale!


a little sneak peek for everyone of the bed ! its stunning to say the least



wait until you see this finished



we are packed full!



working away.



more to follow. sorry if i overloaded you with pictures!

a little update .

hi everyone!
Sorry i have been slacking lately on my posting! I have been struggling on trying to make it possible for people who do not have a personal blog to be able to post comments and follow my blog! My decision was to make a new blog but it has not worked out quite how i like it! So, if anyone has any idea's please let me know! if you would like to enter for the give away just click sign up on the top right of the screen and create an account. It does not cost money nor do you have to make a blog. it's just for identification, after you create your blog follow me!

 For my post today, i wanted to show you all my newest find! I have been searching for quite some time to find a vintage iron bed. Preferably a canopy! But let me tell you , finding a king size is close to impossible ! After my weeks of searching i finally stumped upon a beautiful bed!! To all of you who do not have the most creative mind i will show you a picture idea on what i plan on having the bed look like! Keep in mind the bed will be painted and have a complete white dreamy look ! enjoy!


the awesome find...





it's hard for me to find an exact replication for what my room will look like! but close enough with the whites!





also i would like to finish the look of with a love seat at the end of the bed ,  here is one i like!


this is from ballard designs for around $300, i think ill find a better deal ;)
