Do you all love the show, Fixer Upper on HGTV? The one with Chip and Joanna Gaines? I do, it’s one of my faves. Anyhow, Jamie from Anderson + Grant had a post the other day on a Dutch tulip crate that is currently on The Magnolia Market’s online shop. I realized that I had picked one up last year on the side of the road! It turns out I found quite the bargain, as free is the best way to go 🙂
I collect a lot of knick knacks to stage my furniture with and finding places for them all in my home is difficult. I have a bunch in my workroom and garage and have scattered others throughout my rooms. Some may find it busy, but I have to try and incorporate them as well as my furniture pieces that are listed for sale.
Here are a few pics of my home on this Saturday. It’s full of my “finds” such as my crate, as I am sure your home is. I especially love to incorporate old family photographs. As you scroll down, you will see a large framed photograph of a family in front of a car. This is my grandmother as a child. She is the one with the dark hair on the right. The old box on my buffet belonged to my other grandmother.
Enjoy and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful rooms! Do you have any tips for mixing multiple painted furniture pieces into aroom??
Hi Suzanne – great name :), I mix many painted pieces as long as the colors don’t fight each other and they are spaced properly. A good tip is to always have unpainted pieces as well in your room to give it a good balance and add warmth. Mix it up to give your room a more eclectic look. Thanks!
wow i would love to have my house look like yours i think you are lucky to be able to keep all of the furniture in your house even for a little while it is all so dang gorgeous doesn’t look busy to me xx
Thank you so much, Chris! I do think I’m lucky that I kind of get to rotate my furniture all the time (except my son wouldn’t agree as he is the one always moving it lol)!
You incorporated the furniture and accessories very well into your home.
Thank you so very much!
The photo of your Grandmother’s family in front of their car is priceless!
So jealous that you got one at the side of the road. Why can’t I find freebies like that? Thanks for the shout out to my post, by the way!
You are welcome! It was my lucky day btw and a guy stopped and was staring at me as I grabbed a bunch of old crates and a great old iron firewood container for our backyard!
I just came across your blog today and I noticed that we have the same exact dining room hutch! And, dining table — chairs are different! It’s so nice to see in a photo! I love my set! And, I am enjoying reading your blog!
Hi Genny – we must both have excellent taste lol! I bought my set about 15 years ago and still love it. I’m in the process of painting my chairs white and have two down and four to go. Started this about two years ago so it may take awhile to get finished 🙂 So glad you are enjoying the blog and thanks!
Hi Suzanne! I clicked over from Karensuponthehill link party because I saw the picture of my matching DR set and got so excited to see what someone else did with theirs! All your pieces are so pretty and I look forward to receiving your posts! I am a slightly past beginner AS painter-mostly kitchen/laundry cabinets, but a few pieces of furniture! I am hoping to pick up some tips from you!
