NEW CHINA NEW BOOK SHELF AND THE WAY WE LIKE TO LIVE

Senin, 11 April 2016

 
 
For several weeks we have been searching for some new bowls on our Saturday morning outings.
 Some of our soup bowls have broken and we found ourselves constantly frustrated without
 the same amount of dishes as we were use to. Im happy to say that last Saturday we finally found
some new bowls we really really liked.
Our new English China bowls
 
Our every day dishes are mostly second hand finds that we fall in love with.
We have 6 of this and 4 of that and we prefer it that way.
We once bought a box of country yellow mugs with matching salad plates and for good measure 
two additional plates with the same pattern but in green.
 
 
 We have also found some unusually shaped pieces, including this ginkgo plate and cabbage bowl.
 
 
But most of all we like purchasing fun patterned pieces that we have learned
not to be afraid of and to enjoy using them every day.
 
 
We ended up paying $2 each at a yard sale for our new bowls,
we simple couldnt resist the pink thistle design.??

The weather here in BC has been great for yard sales and for painting furniture

UPDATING A BEDROOM what we did on labour day

Jumat, 18 Maret 2016


During our Labour Day weekend George and I changed our bedroom area.
 
 
Above is how it looked before we started and below is us starting to move things around. 
 
 
Oh the dust bunnies!!!
 
 
3 days later and all the furniture is in place but there is plenty still to do before I can show you it all.
 
 
Yes I painted the loveseat, and what an amazing difference it has made to the space.
 
 
Im also going back and forth fiinishing up the buffet and hutch from last week.
 
 
A table has come my way that I have grand plans for.
Anyone have some wonderfully beaten up, weathered lumber (2 x 6 or larger) that you want rid of?
 
 
A set of 4 chairs found their way into the back of Georges Van.
Im feeling a tad bit overwhelmed and I havent mentioned the other 3 projects on my plate.
 
 
There has been some great hardware added to the on-line shop that I found over the weekend
