followers who came down to shop. I was asked to post how I use salvaged pieces
in my own home?
I use salvaged shutters and doors to create
the look or feel for my home that gives
my personal touch and is a true reflection
of what I love...
depending on the piece sometimes its turn key ready
or I will distress or add a paint finish to them
the beauty lies in how interchangeable they are
and can move from room to table top or walls
This is a very old cabinet door that came from a salvage yard
that Mr Dior really loved so I created a headboard
in our loft with it...
we have extreme amounts of light through windows
of our home so I have to do angle shots to avoid
the strong sunlight
When I have such bad days with my Lupus I need
to be in a place that creates a calm and soothing affect
this vintage French nightstand always
makes me feel good inside...
her lines are my "Jimmy Choo" of nightstands..
fresh flowers always adds charm
these shutters made my heart pitter patter...
so I thought " oh why not "
the men in my house fell in love with this mid century chair
and asked for me to change up our living room
with a more rustic feel for the summer
I have my work cut out for me to
complete this makeover...
Have a beautiful week ladies!!!
I am on my way to revamp
much love from me..
Love your style! Sooo pretty. Looking forward to catching up on some of your other posts. Come say hello at A Shabby Moment in Time. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

ReplyDeleteyou've got it goin' on girl in a way none can compare.
ReplyDeletessshhhh
don't tell anyone, but I can redesign "normal" nightstands to look just that.
I did not know that you have lupus. My sister and my neice both have lupus. It is such a difficult disease. Is it pretty manageable for you?

Kate that was such a lovely post! I adore that mercury glass bottle! Your bed looks SO inviting and soothing. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful design style. I adore it, everything looks so charming, relaxing and tranquil. I have started an eight to five job, so not much time for crafting and blogging on this end. I am not complaining just having to prioritize and manage my time better, to include at least selling at the fleas. Hope to see you soon. You are always in my thoughts, so I am really happy to see a post from you :)
Take care,
Jeanette
Kate ~ your posts are always so very pretty and creative and thought-provoking! I love that headboard on your bed! The chippiness, the textures, and the soft colors you use in your home are just beautiful!

I love the use of shutters in your home. I was at an architectural salvage place over the weekend and they had many many shutters. I couldn't think what I would need them for...but looks like I might indeed need them. Great post. I like that chair too.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDanielle
Your bedroom looks very soothing and calm to me. Hope you are doing well. You'll be the first to know if I make a trip down to Cali girl. Not sure when that will be though.....hopefully sooner than later. I really want to get to Rose Bowl.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Kathleen
Your house is so beautiful! I am in love with that "headboard." Just over the moon in love!
