Ok.
I know my salvage window frame isn't a Union Jack.
But when I first spotted it in another vendor's booth at Aunt Bee's House, that is exactly what came to my mind.
A shabby, wood, Union Jack.
I barely squeezed it into the back of my little car to bring home.
I briefly considered painting it in the pastel version of the flag, but I loved the patina on it too much to entertain that idea for very long.
I was a teeny bit sad to take down my DIY art, but I was ready for a change, and I've been wanting to add more character to this room.
I love the graphic punch it adds to the large wall behind the Beautiful Beast.
I did keep two of my very favorite prints to flank the sides.
Today, while I was out picking, I came across two 1970's metal leaf art.
Bingo!
I kinda liked the shiny gold initially, but the prints were needing some more company in the pink department.
So I broke out the spray paint, and painted them a vintage-y shade of pink!
Loving the change.
I've also switched a few other little things around the living room.
Also from another vendor at Aunt Bee's House-
this little glass box.
I saw it and thought it would be so interesting to put my vintage Madonna inside.
A couple weeks ago, I was able to find a gorgeous black rosary.
My plan was to put it in my Etsy shop, but I have fallen in love with it too much to part with it yet.
There's also a neat story behind the little pocket New Testament on the right.
I will share more on that soon.
The vintage white and pink grapes was something I got at Junk Salvation from my friend Diane.
There are even sparkles on the grapes too!
Most everything else has stayed the same.
I did finally get all the winter / Christmas out of here.
Just in time for Easter.
;)
The cloche was still sporting mica snow and pinecones until this weekend.
Now the collection of shells is back, and I kept out the Easter egg for a few more days.
The apothecary jar also had mica snow and pinecones up until a few days ago.
I added in some lemons and a tassel to the lid.
My goal for this room is to have an eclectic, vintage, boho chic vibe going on.
As I find more pieces to fit that bill, I'm sure it will evolve even more.
That's it for now.
Thanks so much for your well wishes on my back.
I'm feeling a lot better today. Hoping I won't have to do any more follow ups at the chiropractor, but I may need to go back in tomorrow.
It's been good to slow down and rest- just need to do it more often I think!
{that's so hard to do!!!}
Have a great day!

I thought the same thing when I first glanced at it! I love it, and it looks wonderful above the sofa. Your touches of spring are so delightful. You have a such a great talent for arranging displays.

ReplyDeleteHi Denise!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you have a great weekend?
I love what you did with the gold leaves!! Painting them pink is a great idea!! It just adds that extra color that the wall needed and it's not over powerful.
Looks great!!!!

Great new additions to your cozy little space. I adore that window frame - maybe someday you can paint in the flag colours, but for now it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteDenise .. I love it all.. YOU have a knack for fabulous sister.. Just beautiful. I think you made it all work together just perfect. I love the pink painted décor you hung above the picture too. Couch looks just beautiful wanted to say beauty(muss) and as always you don't disappoint sister...

ReplyDeleteYour livingroom is so pretty. I really like the union jack looking window. Glad you are feeling better...so am I. It is so frustrating when you can't get everything done you want too. I used to have those gold leaves a million years ago :)--nice idea to paint them.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at salvage! It's close enough for me, I would have grabbed that up too :)
