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!

wow, love it Kate! I love that you can still some graphics on it and those pale turquoise legs are just divine! GREAT find, once again!!
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,
Suzan
It is all pulled together so beautifully. I love your decorating style.

What a great table! It's fantastic in the room.
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
I saw it on fb...it is great !!!...lovely weekend!!...much love Ria...xxx...
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.
Kate,
Thank you for teaching us to see things in a different light...what joy it brings.

Kate, that is one incredible find. Thank God for those like you who see beauty where others don't!
Jeanette
What a score Kate. What a great eye you have! It is beautiful in your living room. I am so, so glad you saved it!
hugs from here...
KATE . . . LOVE, LOVE, LOVE It !
You Are Our CURIOUS GIRL !!
BIG HUGS,
JOE & GLENN
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!
lovely post! Thanks for sharing your finds with us!
Love your "new" table Kate!
Big thanks to you and the mister from me...I show Jim your creations and it's been inspiring him! With a show coming up for me, I'm excited!
Hello Miss Kate, You do have an eye for fabulous recycled items. I always enjoy what you have done just wish you were closer so I could come a shoppin, xoxo
What a great piece!! I love all of its rusty goodness! You always have such a great eye Kate!

Kate, these things are as precious as you are. They just scream 'KATE'! Love, love your new find. And of course, you found the perfect spot for it. Thanks for sharing your salvaged treasures with SYC. Always love seeing what you have rescued!
hugs,

Kate~
THE TABLE IS TO-DIE-FOR!
You have an amazing eye, my friend...
How is my favorite honorary Jersey Girl~friend ??
I miss our longggggg talks. We're long overdue.
Hope you're feeling well.
Huge hugs to you.
Love u... xo
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!

The room is so pretty but I just love the table!
