Since we are still on the shelter in place order, I have been relooking at my home from different views. Even the outside has gotten a slight transformation. I painted a bistro set white the other day which will replace a vintage motel chair. I have been spending more time sitting outside for the enjoyment of it. A small table and chairs suits that space much better.
A few month ago, I bought a chippy white Victorian bassinet from Steeplechase Antiques in Barrington IL. I knew that it would look perfect in my garden but I didn't want to lose the aged patina on it so I am keeping it in my sun room.
At Christmastime I filled it with greens and a tree and now I'm filling it with springlike items.
As I was cleaning up in the garage, I came across the chippy, rusty floral toile tray that my father gave me a few years back. I didn't have the perfect spot for it until now! It was the basis for the color scheme.
The white chippy bird cage was hanging in a bush in my yard but since the bush needs to be cut down, this is where it will be for now. The sweet little purse is a just because piece.
The green bucket was an item that didn't sell at my space at the Carriage House. I can't figure out why since it is fabulous. I have always loved it so maybe it was just meant for me to keep it. Rounding out the display is the floral piece. I always keep a stash of floral stems for just this reason.
Another decor changing idea was to change the picture in "my" room. I had found this fabulous vintage floral painting at the Goodwill store years ago and wanted to hang it up year round. I had been using it only in the spring with the spring decor. It looks perfect in the vintage frame I have hanging on the wall even though it doesn't fit perfectly. The frame has a chippy green border that compliments the painting colors.
Since we will be sheltering at home for a few more weeks, I just may be finding more treasures in my stash.
Happy treasure hunting!
