Shadow Shot Sunday...

Between things to be done....

and projects already tackled...

it's were we all usually spend our week...
Make sure you take time to enjoy your weekend!!

For a very relaxing and inspiring time visit
Hey Harriet! and all the talented Shadow Shot Sunday participants!

How do we do it?...

We take a busy mantle, full of trinkets and non-related items....

and transform it into a cleaner, more polished display with a mirror much more in scale with the rest of the fireplace...

We pay attention to an awkward shape wall under the stairs and by the front door and take it from forgettable...

to a "Welcome Home" wall...

We change the vibrant green walls and Tommy Bahamas furniture...

for a much calmer palette, suited for a room where the family spends a lot of time...

We choose taupe and chocolate walls as the perfect background for some white furniture...

and rich gold chenille....

Before....

and after....

We add new surfaces where to keep a drink or a book...

and we use a mix of vintage, new...

and personal touches...

That's how we completely change the feel of a room...in a budget!

Our Customer's Family Room makeover is finally done...
and we are so glad we have these pictures to share it with all of you.

Junkin' Monday #10

Good morning Sunshine!
It's time to tackle this week and what better way to do it than showing our new treasures?

It was a rather quiet hunting week, but enough to get our imagination going...
We were surprised of how much Christmas stuff there is out there!...to be honest we are not in "the spirit" yet...it seems early to us and since this year we don't have a store to decorate, we will stretch the Thanksgiving Season and hold on to our pumpkins a little bit longer.

But, with that said, we couldn't pass on this box of 12 ornaments for only $2.00!

We also brought home a silver plated "Bride's Basket"...

It's in pretty good condition and we love monograms so this was an easy decision.

We love vintage wicker trays, and this one is not exemption...

It's fairly large but I couldn't get a nice picture, sorry!

We just have to decide if we will add something pretty underneath the glass or leave it as it is.

Of course we had to buy a frame...we seem to always find a nice frame to adopt!..

Nice oldie, great patina...it was calling us!

And we couldn't finish our hunting without buying a project...
This old, wooden, (boring), box also made it home...

We know, nothing special, not even cute, but at $4.00 is perfect to try a new painting technique.
Later this week we will show what we make with it and let you decide:
boring box or keeper box?

Well, that's all for today's show and tell...

Now it's your turn...what have you adopted this week?
