hey...
guess what i did yesterday?
i tackled my very own re-do project instead of lurking around
BLOGLAND, peeking at everyone else's.
my favorite little store in Naples,
VINTAGE CHARM
(love that name)
carries Taylor's Tutus and a few other goodies we make,
like glittered shells, teacup candles, sweater pumpkins...
her shop is little so when i kept eyeing this sweet little bench,
the owner finally took pity on me and said
"take it...it's just getting in the way".
hmmm...tutu's for a bench,
not bud, huh?
it was a gold color that would have probably worked
but i'm big into the cream and whites so...
but i'm big into the cream and whites so...
i ripped it up, recovered it and
paris pillows, cute signs, my most FAVORITE vintage find...
a gumball machine...
and my AWESOME...GORGEOUS
vintage luggage.
two of the pieces were done but I had to paint one more to complete the look.
got old luggage around the house?
got old luggage around the house?
grab some spray paint and be prepared to go CRAZY:)
and don't ever pass them by at the fleas.
they make great storage...
ours hold Miss T's MANY worn and tattered
POINTE SHOES.
this little nook cost me about $20 because I had everything
except the fabric, spray paint and one pillow for $7 at Joann's.
use what you have, right?
even worn out shoes:)
and last but not least, my "subway art".

and because they were at Home Goods...you KNOW the price was right!!!

love that store:)
next project...MERMAIDS!
yep...found these cuties at Tj Maxx.
i'm just deciding whether i want to embellish them with pearly vintage BUTTONS
or vintage jewels.
i'm thinking tiny JEWELS...
you know, mermaids...treasures...
we'll see!
oh gosh...one more thing i LOVE today...
this COOL frame i found in Sarasota, Fl
while shopping at St. Armand's Circle with my Mum, Sis and
my two SHABBY CHICKS.
that's it...short and SWEET today!

I am drooling over that bench my friend, you did a beautiful job! Love everything you have here, including the luggage...what a great idea to paint it!
ReplyDeletePraying that all is well with you.
God's blessings,

Your bench is so dreamy! I really want a gumball machine just like that. And the point shoes-heaven!!

The bench turned out great and your little corner looks amazing! I am going to have to do that with some suitcases some day. I can never get white spray paint to cover very well for me. Maybe I need to do more coats. I am loving subway art too and want to make some but I am thinking it might take a while to do the lettering! It will be a labor of love!
ReplyDeleteL*O*V*E your bench!!! It's fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy I stopped by...I love your blog and all your wonderful whites!
ReplyDeletePretty pictures. Love that bench. That's alot of shoes.
