Goodwill = Love Day 2



Today I am showing more of our home 

filled with Goodwill finds...


Everything here is a Goodwill find

All of the picture frames are PB or

Restoration Hardware found at the GW

none of them were over 7.99



The chrome lamp and linen shade

were picked up at two separate GWs



I buy what I love, What speaks to me...

{Not much of a rule follower}

I mix metals and different textures...



The beveled mirror print is something that

Mr. Dior and I just love.  A vintage floral print

framed in beveled mirror.

I was hooked the second I saw it.

When I turned it over it came from an

art gallery in NYC {swoon}

Not a bad find for 7.99



We have lots of natural light in this room

so at times it is a challenge for me

to take the right shot...



I was excited to find a faceted crystal finial for

1.99 to finish off this linen lamp...



I fell in love with the color on this little statue!

He came home with me

for 2.99



The coral is from my friend Loretta

of Full Bloom Cottage


I placed the coral on top of an old vintage ashtray...

{love the patina}




Much love to all of you
XOXO

    So beautiful Kate. It makes me want to be more of a minimalist. It would really help calm my mind. Can you stop by and purge my house of all this stuff I collect? I think I'm ready to let go now. No wait! Okay, I'm ready. No, hold on! Oh, who am I kidding. I'm not there yet. lol

    Un fuerte abrazo,
    Irma

    Kate,
    Your style is amazing....I love it all!! Don't you just LOVE getting good deals like that??? One of my favorite pieces in my home is a huge mirror w/ a fantastic ornate frame....it was $24 at goodwill! I felt like I was stealing it....could barely carry it ~ it was so heavy!
    Especially love the pic of your hubby holding your little girl...priceless!
    xoxo,

    Hi Kate, I love all of your good will finds! When it comes to decorating I say break any rule you want. That's what reflects your personality. Hey who knows, you might even start a new fad.
    Hugs,
