New Treasures

Tell me to put on grubbies

and boots and I'm there!

 

I went treasure hunting yesterday, in the dirt,

and came home with just a "few" pieces.

 

 

 

I'm becoming a bit concerned though...

 

I pick things that I love, knowing they need to

be for Black Rooster Cottage (the boutique),

but I find that I question whether they leave the

threshold of our home.

 

But then...

I've been known to "shop" the house and pick things

of Vintage age, that I've fallen out of love with, to

take to Black Rooster Cottage.

 

The beautiful thing about that is,

those items have found new loves and new homes.

 

I guess that's not such a bad problem to have, huh?

 

 

 

Now for the *Keepers*...

 

"New" chairs for the formal dining room ($5 each!!!!)

I got a full set of 6. Nothing wood glue, paint, stain

and new cushions can't fix!

{These will be a future post, for sure!}

 



A heavy solid wood door with the original key hole

still intact. The narrow-ness and chippy

paint caught my eye. Unfortunately,

most of the paint is chipping badly

so I'll have to strip it.

I was thinking a

long table for the wall beneath

the staircase,

BUT....

Unbelievably, it is the EXACT

size of our pantry door

SOOOO... I will paint, rough sand

and stain the frame of it

then chalkboard paint the center.

I already have a crystal knob

 set I've been hoarding

so she'll go on there too.

The original pantry door will go

in the the storage cubby

till we move so we can put it back.

{Yes, this will be another blog post. ;) }

 

 



 

I have caught a breath of fresh air this weekend.

I was very hesitant to make this transitional house

our "home" but the Mr. and I have made a

plan that we are so very happy with

 and will work towards our new found goal.

This means... I'll be painting a little and re-doing

some of our own furniture pieces.

 

I'll share some more next visit.

 

Till then, I wish you a peaceful week...
