GOODWILL & Reclaimed Bliss...

I fell in love with this old bleached wood at a yard sale

{so in love}

I got it for free!!! So I put Mr. Dior to work and married it with two

vintage egg crates that I scored from Goodwill  for 5.00





my oldest son loves to cook

so I had to have his favorite bread book

for my table


I purchased a sampler can of Charcoal

from Restoration Hardware to use

on a few accent pieces...


old cast iron urn from the Goodwill

5.99

love how it looks with the Charcoal paint



I also used it on the top of this old school desk

from the Goodwill as well



I also found some great frames ranging from

3.99 to 5.99

to frame my favorite drawings from

an old anatomy book and sea fan coral

{swoon Goodwill}




I added some dark colored old books

and other accessories 

from an Estate sale inside my white hutch for

a pop of color blend...




filled the urn with my touch

of sea sponge and albalone shells


Have a beautiful week

my darlings...



This is for Sue

Gracie stealing the show at Country Roads

Burlap Luxe said...

Oooo! kate I wanted to mention I am a big lover of bleached woods, I have some in my one home, I strip off the paint and let it speak to me in the "natural!"

I would love to strip down my kitchen cabinets and then wash them a bit with watered down paint leaving it a very very soft spoken bleach wood look to the grain of the wood, I must make time for this :)

There are a quite a few things about this post I absolutely love! The focal point of the table with crates, is well way cool but then the fact that you have an in home cook/bread baker, love the picture of your mother with you son! love the urns your style is amazing and I love the fact that you pull together a very hip expensive look from goodwill and yard sales. I am always excited when I see you have a new post as I know I am in for a treat, content and music!!

Hi Kate,

I can't seem to comment here using my blogger acct... so weird. And it ate my last comment. Well I just wanted to tell you, you've done it again!! I'm speechless! This is why I love your blog. You seamlessly marry the rustic with the elegant and do it on a dime! There are a couple of other blogs I *love* but I always leave feeling a little discouraged because I don't have a Restoration Hardware furniture budget, but when I come here I am so inspired! I love that you share the price and where you got the items, it's so encouraging. Thank you! And I swear your So Cal Goodwill's are so much better than the ones in the bay area, unbelievable what you find down there!! Now I just want to see more of your house! You know, dining room, kitchen, etc. Hint hint! Lol! Have a great day,
xo

Dear Kate,

I love the pops of black, the grays and the different metallics. Makes me want to take a seat and have a glass of wine! ...and girl, only you would score vintage egg crates for $5!! I'm loving your table.

Blessings,
Pat Allen

Hi Kate, Goodwill never looked so good. I love how you can take such simple, inexpensive pieces and turn them into something showhouse worthy. Your living room is beautiful. Hope your day is great. Tammy
