White Wednesday " Goodwill = Love "



I love how the Dior home is filled

with such amazing treasures that

I find at the Goodwill...

So much that Mr. Dior asked for

a small change in scenery that would remind us

of the coastal vacation spot that we love...




I decided I still had to put my style into it

with my love for industrial.

Yes it's true I'm not a ruffles kind of girl...








The industrial table is an old

cobbler work station from  Chicago. I placed it

as a platform to start my vignette. I love all of the holes

and nubby crannies that it has. The age worn character

is my favorite part...

{it even had the drawer missing]



I scoured the Goodwill for nice books that

go well with the decor and make an

eye pleasing display...



Mr. Dior and I found these old benches at

the Goodwill that were such a steal.

We brought them home and recovered them

in remnant linen that I found there

in their curtain & bedding section.



These benches will be the perfect extra seating that

can be tucked away when not in use.



I love using natural elements which

I typically can find at the Goodwill

in the basket section ie old wood

crates that can be white washed...



I will be sharing more of the room next week

using all of our Goodwill finds...



My gratitude to Apartment Therapy for


on their website yesterday...

I am linking up to Kathleen's




Have a beautiful week ladies
XOXO

  6. LOVE your display, Lady Kate! The Willie Willie is one of my favorite places to go for home accessories too. I keep telling Mr. CB that I've saved him a fortune, he keeps telling me "look around, no you haven't". LOL He says I nickel and dime him to death. I think he's right :(
    Oh if I could only STOP loving chotchkies and starting "collections". Ni modo!

    Happy White Wednesday, Princess!
