I have already added "industrial" to my treasure hunting list for my nest and my booth and recently found this old drawer with metal dividers...
Change does not come easy for me, nor do I make quick decisions. I intended this piece for my booth as I did not think it would fit in my home. My nest is shabbily feathered, with a few french touches here and there. I love dreamy, vintage whites and I am wandering toward the farmhouse look (have you seen Anne's new home!) where I know any industrial piece would fit perfectly. I sometimes wonder if all the styles I love will blend together. As a fan of Kim's I remind myself to fill my home with things I love that make me happy. Isn't that what it's all about?! So I figured I would start slipping industrial in small with this drawer...
I have a wonderful collection of old flower frogs ~ the drawer provides a perfect display for some of them...
My flower frog display and I are party hopping today from Common Ground where Debra is hosting Vintage Inspiration Friday to Margo's Junkin Journal where she is hosting her Industrial Chic party!

it looks great! I want some flower frogs. ;)
I love your new addition!
I love so many different styles...I've never been able to pin myself down to one thing...my house is definitely a jumble of every style I love...and I really think that's okay! You're friend is right--fill your home with the things that make YOU happy! This piece would definitely make me happy!
Hope you have a beautiful day!

What a great old drawer. I think when you find something you love it will fit in with your "style" no matter what it is! How perfect for your froggies! What a fun find! Hugs- Diana

I definitely think you can mix all kinds of styles with success. I LOVE that drawer cubby. That is a piece I would buy in a heartbeat....and flower frogs....I have a small collection and am always on the lookout for more.
Have a great weekend.

Love your flower frog collection. I have a few that I love as well. Always on the lookout for a different design. Cute drawer too!

Fabulous that you are using that lovely old drawer as a display shelf. I think when you buy what you love, no matter what era it is from, it will always fit into your surroundings. I love an eclectic look to anything matchy-frou-frou. Your thoughtful spot is so pretty. And your giveaway fabulous! I told you our anniversary is on the 20th, but I'll be spending the evening at the first meeting of the Yarn and Fiber group that I am joining. My husband said he is a-o-k with that. Yea! Have a great weekend. :) Tammy
i'd say this is a pretty great piece to start industrial with! Terrific way to use it!
You are a party animal today!!!!
That is one awesome old drawer. I'd be hard pressed to part with it if it were mine!
It looks wonderful and fits right in! Love that flower frog collection too!!
So glad you linked up today,

I love both the drawer and the frogs! I would love to find more frogs. They are good for so much more then flowers. The drawer would be great for me my shells.
I ADORE flower frogs...it can become an obsession to just find A FEW more!!! & your drawer suits them perfectly!
What a lovely little corner you've created...

Hi-I'm a new follower, and I love this drawer. I am a big fan of boxes, drawers, cubbies, etc. and think they fit into any decor. I'm also a collector of flower frogs. I showed my latest ones a couple of posts ago.

I love your flower frogs!! I hope this doesn't post twice, blogger was having issues when I first commented. Lovely display.
I have found that if you love something, you can make it fit, blend in and tell a story about who you are.
The drawer looks great and besides flower frogs, you can put in little things that reflect the seasons.
Just have fun!

Hello! I think if you love it, it can mix! The drawer is way cool if worse comes to worse it would be really neat painted white, I know I am still stuck there.
Hugs,

I love those kind of drawers..the metal dividers just give it a little extra oomph. I love you style - even as it changes a bit and allows new things in - it still remains "your" style.

That is really a wonderful drawer! I wonder what it was used for...now it works perfectly for your fun collection of flower frogs! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
LOVE the look....I have finally decided, at the age of 54, go with what makes you smile/happy.....Linda
It looks wonderful:))
Hugs, Biljana
Love the drawer, yum! I know exactly what you mean about mixing styles, but I think we find our own style within it dont you think?

Great find, Sandi! I, too, am leaning toward the "industrial" lately, too. Ever so slowly, treasures like your drawer are creeping into my "wanna-be-French-farmhouse". LUV all of your flower frogs, girlie! I've displayed some b/w photos in the ones I've picked up at flea markets, and am obsessed with how French they now look. :) Nice job!!!!

You're going to rename your craft room? That sounds intriguing. I like the way that you are slowly adding things that you enjoy to your home. What a great find that drawer was and the perfect way for you to display your collection of flower frogs.
I love all your beautiful things. Have a great weekend.
I think they go swell together and love your flower frogs. Lezlee
Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments! I would sure love to find some of those flower frogs ... they look so cute in the drawer, too!
I love this piece - it's so functional. I always like to organize and have little spots to put special things. I love flower frogs, too, especially cuz my friends don't know what they are and it makes me sound very knowledgeable about antiques (which I'm not!) Great find!
