It’s apparent when you walk in the front door that I am a collector. If it’s old & thrown out by someone else, chances are this girl digs it.
One of my favorite things – color! I don’t do neutral well. I like bold, bright, color. It makes me happy. It’s not for everyone, but it’s for me.
Chippy paint – if it’s old original paint I swoon. See this pink dresser – killer right – $40 score! You can’t afford not to buy at that price. Ah-mazing!
Industrial items – if some old man used it on a farm or in a shop – I dig on it. Rusty metal oooo la la baby!
*Oh and see those little glass boxes - perfect to hold keepsakes of your kids - Ev's old pacifier, Aubrie's first pair of glasses, and Ollie's medical bracelet & Lasix syringe.
When I find things I love, I collect them. I can’t just have one – no I need an odd number – and at least 5. Hoarder – kind of.
Metallic paint - well any kind of bling I'm a humming bird - We call this dresser the tin man. This is my bedroom dresser. One coat of spray paint – and trust me it’s fabulous. $85 at an auction – sturdy, old, solid – piece of American sweetness right here baby.
Original artwork by my sister Abbie. Yes - my family as googly heads - Love!
A funny man - he's in our bedroom and he's giant - like 3' tall.
A giant framed plunger for the shitter room - pardon my french - I had to do it.
Matching paintings for above the toilet plus an old teeny tiny sink plunger - yep baby! That's how we roll & no it's not a used plunger!
So if you run into a pile of junk and you are local - I'm the girl to call - between my sisters & my Mom we will most likely find a way to turn that trash into treasure!
