Mix of Vintage and Modern

It's no secret that I simply adore mixing vintage with modern.

And... well.... oops I did it again!


I found this vintage sofa table at Lost...antiques from a vendor just a few spaces down from me. 

SCORE!

I simply LOVE it! 

And it works quite well with my vintage lucite and brass coffee table discussed here.


It has a beveled mirror top that is just divine.

The previous stools I had were too big and bulky for this piece. So, I thought I would mix in some sleek modern with a mix of metal to balance out the vintage brass sofa table.


I just LOVE the effect.

And can you spy the vintage Dorothy Draper Chest in the pic below?
That is about to get a major overhaul, too!

I will have it lacquered in a high gloss white.... can't wait!
I'll share pics when it's completed, cured and back home with me.


Have a FABULOUS Friday and weekend, friends!

New Pretty Added to my Foyer

I picked up this antique mirror a few weeks ago at the awesome Thrift Studio I had written about here.

It is such an AMAZING piece! 
Original wood and paint. I don't think the mirror is original, but it still has an antiqued patina to it.

The frame was in solid condition, so I thought I would give it a shot for my space in the foyer.


It has worked out SO BEAUTIFULLY!


And it is wonderful to get to see my artwork from different angles.
You can always check out more of my pieces here.

I love what antique pieces can do to a space.... especially with a mix of vintage, glam and modern!

What do ya think?

Manic Monday

This is a week where I will be kicking it in high gear.

I operate well in "high gear" mode.... are there others out there like me?

Kiddo's birthday is this week and there are a lot of festivities for said birthday going on.... as well as, a very full load of weekly functions. But, again... I operate well in "high gear" mode!


Even though I am doing a lot of running around... there is always time for a good piece of jewelery!

LOVE this type of snake...

It's so beautiful. The band is braided metallic silver leather with crystals embellishing the head and tip of the snake.

L-O-V-E!

Have a FABULOUS week, my friends --
whether you are operating in "high gear" or "chillaxin mode".

And on another note:
Thanks to all the VETERANS | PAST PRESENT and FUTURE!
