I love the rural style that happens when
you add a rustic element to your home.
When I found an old discarded wood gate
I decided to create a bit of rustic charm
by adding a few vintage pieces.
Vintage Chair
I gray washed the wood gate
and added a few grass plants wrapped in burlap
inside of a vintage tool box...
One of my adored vintage clocks
and my mother's gardening scissors
that we used every summer in the garden
since I was a little girl...
The old wood frame
and muted feel brings about the look
that I truly love...
The warmth it creates
feels so restful to my eyes...
I placed driftwood in my
favorite vintage bottles to change
up the look on top of my old trunk...
Nothing suits my taste
more than using nature in a display...
A few simple collected
items can make you feel so wonderful
when you look at them...
Thank you to my newest followers
and the sweet comments that you have left...
I am looking forward to
sharing this journey together as we
continue to encourage and inspire each other...
Joining in this week with
Jann's Share your cup Thursday
Much love to all of you
XOXO

You do rural, rustic, vintage charm very well! :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteKate, once again you turn just the simplest things into a thing of pure beauty. Love the rustic wooden gate. The scissors are a real treasure. I love things that have a connection with family and memories. I would never have thought to just stick driftwood in a jar and you just make it beautiful. Love, the tool box and clock. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with Share Your Cup.
