salvage union jack for the living room

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!
