makeover sneak peek...

I thought I would pop in today and share a little sneak peek of the makeover in my son's room that I have been working on.

I am blending a little industrial...

Cool vintage gas station number from the shop

With some wonderful reclaimed wood that my husband found curbside...

I shopped around my house and found a night stand...

yard sale find for $5

Then I shopped my booth and found a mirror...

thrifting find for $8

I am trying to keep the budget very low for this makeover.

I did pick up a few things at Ikea and Walmart.

I also used the rest of a gift certificate to Pottery Barn that I won in a giveaway for this sign...

I painted the walls gray, although they look on the blue side in the photos.  They do have a blue~ish tint during the day, but at night they are the dark gray I was going for.

I am hoping to finish up the last few projects like a headboard out of the old wood Jim brought home.

(Ok, I am waiting for Jim to finish that project.)

I need to find the perfect curtain rod and get some closet doors up too.

I am also waiting for Jake to come home on Thanksgiving break from school before I put anything up on the walls.

I like that he wants some input!

I am sharing with Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday and Kristen at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for Tuesday's Treasures.

Thank you ladies for hosting!

Thank you all for stopping by today, have a great day!

lilacs for tuesdays treasures...

I am joining Kristin over at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia today for her Tuesday's Treasures party for the first time!

Did you know she just opened up a beautiful Etsy shop called Uncommon Linens?!

Also, Kristin and her husband Ray were recently featured in Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen and Bath issue showcasing their beautiful kitchen makeover!

Congratulations!!

I picked up some lilacs the other day for my kitchen table...

Aren't they pretty...

I actually had enough to make two arrangements...

And put one by my Mom's portrait...

Thanks for stopping in today which marks my 200th post!

I never got around to celebrating having 400 followers so I guess I will have to put my thinking cap on and put together a double celebration giveaway!

Stay tuned...

feathering my booth for the fall...

Hello everyone ~ I hope your week is off to a great start! I had a nice start to my week as I spent most of yesterday morning at the shop, tidying up my booth as well as rearranging it a bit. I brought in a fabulous new piece as well as adding some items for the fall and Halloween. I was in bright and early and while the lighting was not the best (heck, the photographer is not the best) I thought I would share with you some new vignettes. I have been seeing items for Halloween out since August so I thought it was time to feather my booth for the fall...I have been trying to warm up my space for the fall by keeping some furniture as found and not painting it white. I also have been hunting for some old rusting and industrial looking treasures to add as well. I actually found one yesterday on my way home but I think it is a keeper! Since my booth is totally shabby I thought I should stay pretty neutral when it came to adding in Halloween. Let's take a closer look... I knew I could use these wonderful old books I found yard saleing to give my display some height and the colors are just perfect... How fabulous are these old candle holders... I am loving the vintage flinch card packages too ~ the numbers go to 15 but I display unlucky 13! I also added tags which I found on Etsy to just about every item. I filled a little apothecary jar with black, cream and orange buttons and added a tag... I also filled some old canning jars and tagged them too...

I found the cute Halloween Bingo cards on Etsy and the champagne corks...well...let's just say I totally enjoyed my summer (thanks girls)!! Moving on ~ I filled a garden pot left over from the shop porch (which has a wonderful new look for the fall) with some vintage spoons and thought they might be good spell stirrers...I mixed in some vintage mushroom Pyrex bowls with some old metal and silver trays and made some more letter packets... I made another small display ~ I picked up those sweet vintage inspired postcards on Etsy too... I love the color of the silent butler ~ I found this at one of my favorite thrift shops for a song... Of course this old black clock fits in perfectly... I had fun thrifting for pieces for these displays so I am linking up with Linda over at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. I took a few shabby pieces home to make room for all this and thought I would put them in my Etsy Shop and link up with Stefanie over at Rose Petals and Rust for her Tuesday Treasures...

I am happy to say the sweet little heart dish sold already! Well, thanks for stopping by today,

I know I mentioned that I put a fabulous new piece in my booth too but I am saving that for tomorrow. Stay tuned...

tuesday's treasures with rose petals and rust...

On Tuesdays over at Rose Petals and Rust, the lovely Stefanie blogs about her Tuesday's Treasures, showing what new items she lists in her Etsy shop. I am joining her today to show you what is new in my Etsy shop ~ a wonderful old 4H Club first place rosette ribbon... Sweet little baby buggy planter... As well as a vintage baby rattle... Stefanie is one busy lady ~ not only does she have a lovely Etsy Shop, she has her own online shop as well as booth space in a local shop. While you are peeking at what she has in her shops, and looking at the inspiring booth photos make sure you check out her Pink Craft Cottage too ~ it is so wonderful!!!

Have fun browsing!!
