A LOVE FOR JADEITE

I HAVE BEEN A HUGE COLLECTOR OF JADEITE FOR YEARS I JUST LOVE THE COLOR !
I HAVE A PIECE OR TWO IN ALMOST EVERY ROOM IN OUR HOME ! SOME ARE VINTAGE AND A LOT ARE REPRODUCTIONS CRACKER BARREL HAD A WHOLE LINE A FEW YEARS AGO SO I SNATCHED UP MANY PIECES FROM THERE ! ONCE IN AWHILE I RUN ACROSS A PIECE AT HOMEGOODS ! MOST PIECES AT ANTIQUE SHOPS ARE OUT OF MY BUDGET BUT SOMETIMES I GET LUCKY AND FIND A TREASURE .

THE ART OF JUNK

I WENT TO AN ESTATE SALE A WHILE BACK AT A DARLING LITTLE HOUSE THOUGH I FOUND SOME TREASURES INSIDE IT WAS IN THE OLD DETACHED GARAGE I FOUND THE BEST THINGS ! I SAW THESE OLD PAINT BRUSHES ALL HANGING ON A WALL LIKE A PIECE OF WONDERFUL ART ! I LOVE THE WOODEN HANDLES AND THE MIX OF TEXTURES THEY WOULD BE WONDERFUL IN SOME OLD CARVED FRAMES ! I MAY KEEP ONE OR TWO BUT THE REST WILL BE HEADED OFF FOR SALE AT MY SPACE AT HERITAGE !

FIRST I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING MAGAZINES AND BLOGS FOR IDEAS ! I LIKE TO LOOK AT POTTERY BARN AND RESTORATION HARDWARE FOR IDEAS TO THOUGH MY BUDGET DOES NOT FIT IN TO DO MUCH SHOPPING AT THESE WONDERFUL STORES THEY STILL OFFER GREAT VISUALS !
I KNEW I WANTED TO LIGHTEN THINGS UP SO FIRST PURCHASE WAS A VANITY AT A STEAL FOR $180 IT WAS A KNOCK DOWN VANITY ( COMES IN A BOX A YOU HAVE TO PUT IT TOGETHER ) AND BELIEVE ME IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN !! IT IS WHITE WITH VERY NICE DETAILS AND HAS BRUSHED NICKLE HARDWARE WHICH IT CAME WITH !! THEN WE PURCHASED A TOP IT HAS A WONDERFUL LOOK THE COLOR OF IT WAS PERFECT WITH GRAYS , CREAM , AND SOME WHITE THOUGH I LOVE THE FREE STANDING BOWLS ON WHITE MARBLE IT JUST WAS NOT IN THE BUDGET OUR TOP WAS $120 AND THEN ANOTHER 20% OFF BECAUSE IT WAS THE LAST ONE ! YEAH !! THE FAUCET WAS ALSO DISCOUNTED IT WAS THE DISPLAY MODEL IT WAS REG. $109 AND WE GOT IT FOR $42 !! THE TOP STARTED OFF THE COLOR PALLET SOFT SILVER GRAY FOR THE WALLS (PAINT VALSPAR SILVER LINING ) HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE !
WILL POST PICTURES AS WE GET IT DONE ! I HOPE YOU ENJOY AND WILL BE ENCOURAGED IF YOU HAVE A LIMITED BUDGET YOU CAN STILL GET A WONDERFUL LOOK !!
