" Uncovered Beauty "



When I think back to my courtship with

Mr. Dior he certainly pulled from my soul

a part of my heart waiting to be unchained.

He loved that my eyes see through a very

different perspective...






I have a deep love for items that

others no longer find value in.

The trash dumpster found gate door that we

 turned into his handsome rustic coffee table...





The vintage wood crate in the back ground

was another curbside rescue found by

my bestie Kathern.  It's beautiful that my girlfriends

know that I will love these castaways.



This next one stole my heart

a few weeks ago at an Estate sale.

Laying in a thick of tall weeds was 

this old tile cutting saw table.

It was dirty covered with rust and of course no one

could be bothered with it.






I was leaping for joy when I knew

it was coming home with me after I asked.

I could see a beautiful console table in my mind.








We married it with a piece of glass

to achieve a match made in heaven with

its gorgeous turquoise blue legs.








A lovely landing place for me to

display the treasures of my heart...







We are blessed by our home being filled

with items that are cherished and loved.

Blessed by the uncovered beauty...






This week I will be joining and linking up

 with my favorite ladies in blog land.

I truly adore them!

Much love to all of you

    Oh Kate, such a treasure - you have such an eye!

    I love you are saving the landfills, one find at a time.

    And I love your Mr. Dior (and your friends) for understanding you and loving you because of it!

    That table looks so perfect there, it is a match made in heaven for sure. WELL DONE, indeed!!!

    What an eye you have Kate - and that artwork in the background over the couch - is that from the graphic fairy ( because I did one very similar!!! )
    Much love,

    You, sweet girl, are one of the treasures of our hearts and it's such a pleasure when you share your heart with us.
    You gotta be a little happy that others fail to see what you do. After all, if they did you might not have scored that wonderful table...which btw is fabulous.

    Gorgeous Kate! Only you could put them in your home and make it so beautiful. If I did the same over here, people would think I was crazy. If it's not new, mass produced and expensive, they don't want to have anything to do with it. I just love that you rescue these castoffs and turn them into something useful. Hugs and blessings, Tammy

    Beautiful work, and I hope your doing well. I am still going to make you a card, I am sick right now and waiting for spring so I can get back to my crafting space in the basement. It is so cold in the winter, I can't get down there, so I work from a small table upstairs. Not easy, so I am limited. Sending a hug.

    Incredible!! Only you could've seen the potential in this piece as it lay abandoned. It wasn't even a "piece" until you touched it and gave it style and purpose. You really are such an artist, Kate!! Just love it!

    Hello Dear Kate, I love the mix you always have of the new & the industrial salvaged look, my daughter Nikki was over yesterday and she was showing me some new (Old, Salvaged) things she likes, it was quite surprising, since Nikki has always been the one to shy away from my Old, Worn pieces ~ I think she is coming around.... I have to share this post with her. I have been busy filling my newest Etsy shop with small glittery things, so happy to be able to type for a visiting purpose!
