This is a really cute shelf unit from Brocade Home. The store is located in SoHo in NYC and has a lot of really cute things. But then I got to thinking that it would be easy to get the look. I found a nice vintage wall shelf unit that has a similar frameat the Royal Oak Flea Market this morning that is from the 40's, I think (I will post a pic as soon as I get it out of my car). By painting it with a high gloss white paint.....it will have the same look....AND I only paid $7 for it! Add $4 for the paint....well you get the idea.

Welcome

I have been planning on starting a blog for some time and I decided that I will just have to learn as I go. This blog is going to be a work in progress for some time, but I hope to make it one that you will enjoy following. I will be posting photos of my projects (refurbishing some of my found treasures), my antiques, and some really great places to hunt for your own treasures! I love to mix the old with the new in decor as well as mix variousperiods. I am not a purest when it comes to antiques....I don't collect any one style or period and it doesn't even have to be super old.....or valuable. In fact most of the fun I have is finding things at flea markets that catch my eye....sometimes for no apparent reason! So, come visit here again soon and I will do my best to make it fun and beautiful.
