Fall and Finds

Hello my friends!

Hope your enjoying your cooler days and evenings. Fall is certainly in the air.

I have been busy working on several projects for an upcoming Barn Sale that I will be participating in. If you would like any info and your in the Texas area please check out my side bar.

I have also had a little time to decorate for the fall. I promised I would show you a few things I picked up while in Canton with my sis in law so I thought I would show you how I used them in my fall decor.

The wood tool caddy was found in my sis in laws barn and she gave it to me!

I can see many uses for this in the future!

Greenery and white pumpkins were found at LaurieAnnas.

This is by far my favorite thing I brought back!! An old meat market scale. 

This was in my sisters attic when they moved in..I know its crazy what people will leave behind!

She had it sitting in her garage and said it was too big for her table and asked if I wanted to bring it home..ugh YES!!

Thank you sis, I love you!

Just a few fall pics...

Mercury glass from PB outlet for $4.99

PB pine cones found at GW for $1.99 

That tin was also found at LaurieAnnas and hangs from a goodwill lamp I found. I just removed the glass and added candles.

I love fall, its my favorite time of year!

Have you started decorating for fall yet? Is it cool where you live? I'm so jealous!

Have a blessed week!

Thank you so much to all my new friends for leaving a comment. I read everyone and it makes my day!

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

A Simple White Guest Room

Happy Friday!!

I wish we had four day weeks every week don't you??

I so enjoyed that extra day.

In my last post I eluded to the fact that I did a little guest room makeover when I visited my sis in law last weekend. I have been working on her home in pieces every time I visit and we are close to finishing up. It has been so much fun to shop and decorate her new home and I am humbled that she lets me do it. 

I do not have any before pics of this room but just imagine bare walls and nothing in it....a blank canvas! Just the way I like it.

After...

This chippy table was found in Georgia when they lived in Tennessee. 

Tool caddy and old window was in her barn, we just cleaned them up and brought them in. 

All the small pieces she had in a closet just waiting to be used.

Chest was found locally for $15 and the mirror we found at a small shop for $5!

Horse was found at LaurieAnnas.

Dug the box out of a closet and added accessories (also from LaurieAnnas)

The bed and bedding was all found at IKEA.

     Horse pics were also hers.

 They live on twenty acres and her hubby ropes so I tried to mix a little bit feminine with a little bit rustic. I think they marry well don't you??

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!

A Quick Getaway (Canton)

Happy Labor Day!

I hope you are enjoying your day off with family and friends or getting some things done around your home.

Last Thursday I took a quick trip to see my sis in law close to Canton. It was very short notice, my husband was home, nothing on the calendar and the stars aligned so I through caution to the wind, jumped in the car and hit the road...alone! I was looking forward to some girl time with my sis. Yes, it was Canton weekend but we decided to hit some antique stores, garage sales and an occasional roadside taco stand for some of the best street tacos I have ever tasted!! I know, we live on the wild side..

One shop I can never pass up while in Canton is a trip to LaurieAnnas.  Have you been there?? This place truly takes my breath away! It is one of the most beautiful shops I have ever seen. Laurie and her staff always make us feel like family. Well, that might have something to do with the fact that we spent 3 hours there but seriously, some of the sweetest people ever! If you haven't been or been lately, they have now expanded their shop by another 4,000 sq ft. OH MY GOODNESS!!

Take a look..

Sigh....Truly stunning!!

I did purchase a few things from her shop and several chippy vintage goodies I will share in another post.

I also did a makeover in her guestroom while I was there and will share that also. 

Have a wonderful day my friends.
