Okay, friends...here goes! It's that time again and this time it's a doozy of a giveaway!

 

I just love these framed chalkboards custom made by Jennifer from Décor Createur.

 

This is a pretty amazing set and when I met Jenn on Instagram and saw these I knew I had to give you guys a chance to own them!

 

They would look amazing in just about any home and of course, with the holidays coming up, would make a great gift!

 

Aren't they just the cutest?

Well, it's Monday folks! How was your weekend? Hoping you were able to spend much needed time with family, friends and alone if that was your desire!

 

Our weekend was pretty full but oh so relaxing and rich at the same time.

 

Today is Main Monday, where I share some of my favorite finds from sales on Joss & Main over the past week. If you're not family with Joss, you can read more about the company and what they offer here.

Here we go...some fun finds this week! Just click on the pics below if you'd like more info about any of the items! Happy shopping!

 

 

 

 

 

XO,

After three days of stormy weather we all have cabin fever.  The kids woke up before 6am, my rhubarb jelly is not a success, its been a grumpy old day.  I need the serenity and space of these  living spaces. Lots of white, a little bit of rustic, mid century vignettes, no clutter.  Feel the serenity! 

The pendant!  I want something with that feel for my entrance.   And isn't that courtyard perfect for a quiet cup of coffee.   Images above and below via South Shore Decorating

 The image below is one I keep coming back to at the moment.  Perhaps because I envy the displays on the low tables, so not possible with a 1 year old!!  Perhaps because I have kelim envy.  Would love to see the rest of the house but I have never been able to find it.

And then I want to wake up, on the right side of the bed, with the summer sun shining and go and swim in this pool.  (both images via Blood & Champagne)

Well I can dream, and I feel a little less grumpy.  Time to go and hug my poor grumped at family.

Loving the soft gray fireplace wall, and the beads hanging off the horns.  I want something similar for my black bathroom wall.  I did want a skull but perhaps horns are less confronting.

The tree trunk coffee table on casters is genius!  I will be keeping my eyes peeled for a tree that has been blown over or is being taken down.   It will be a great excuse for The Voice of Reason to get out his chainsaw.

I wish I had a rustic attic bedroom like this, a place to dream and play.

I can just imagine my girls sleeping here and jumping up at sunrise to go exploring.

This is an image I have loved for years.  Do you have favourite inspirations that you never get tired of?

I am heading for my bed, the warmest place in our house by far!!   Do you have a fire to cosy up too?  Wish we could have been sitting beside a fire tonight, and no ethanol would not have done.

What I really want is that amazing lamp!!!  Where can I find one?!

"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours forever." -UNKNOWN

This seems to be true in the case of my love for all things JUNK and my passion for all things chippy and lovely. 

If you've followed my blog for some time (thank you, BTW), then you've read about my love for old things. Shabby. Chic. French. Distressed. I LOVE it all...

After months of traveling and moving we are finally settled here in our new home in Seattle,WA. After being in HI (which was a great place to be and not because of the weather) being here is like a breath of fresh air.

"Why is that?", you say. Well, it's like a junker's heaven here. From Ruffles and Rust to Snohomish antique shoppes. From Haystack to The Classic Farmhouse to Haley's Cottage. 

I am LITERALLY in heaven!!! And while I am still learning the junking ropes and hoping for some junkin' mentors along the way, I am enjoying the ride. 

Along the way, thanks to "the bug" I've picked up a few yummy pieces. 

Like this...

BEFORE
An old pine dresser...

                       Oh, this one was just screamin' for a rescue! And, boy, did I answer the call!                                                       

DURING
The process...

BEFORE
Cedar Chest...worn and lots of  love marks

AFTER
Restoration House delivers...(disregard the bad pics and books!)

AFTER
The first of many pieces in my living room...

BEFORE

Yucky Dresser Top with Cup Rings

AFTER

Okay, so did anyone notice in the above pic that the dresser looks a little two-toned? Ummmm....well, a confession...IT'S NOT FINISHED! I know, I know...I just couldn't wait to take the pics and post it. This piece kinda scared me in the middle of the process. 


I really didn't think I was going to like it. BUT...I. LOVE. IT. That is...I will once it's complete! 


You may also notice that some of those pics are a little out of order. Well, that's because my blogger skills are quite a bit rusty after not blogging enough for such along time. Go ahead...you can laugh. I won't be offended. :)
