French Country Treasure


Ok, ok, I know it was just a few weeks ago, that I found a cute little $5.00 table, but I just could't pass up this French Country Table.  I was thinking the entryway needed a little sumthin sumthin....so with my mind made up, SOLD to Moi, for $70, and well worth it.  I'am so excited!
  



I know what he's thinking....What the H... is she gonna do with another table!


     
Dove tailed drawers, a sign of quality furniture.


The table was in very good condition.  I only used a little polish to make it shine.

      
Need some time to think how to dress the table.
For now my favorite little frog and a lamp will do..

 My thrift store treasure, purchased for $70

Please send me some ideas on what to put on my new found treasure!

Mirror Mirror.....

Having extremely wide walls in my home can be a pain to figure out how to decorate.  Since I'm a collector of gold framed mirrors,  I've configured them on the dinning room's very wide wall.
This collection of mirrors cost under $100 dollars..















This mirror had a price tag of $2.99 at the Goodwill thrift store.  On the back is written, handmade by Roscoe E, Ford 77 years old.  ( 1927)


Hope You've enjoyed this post and get some ideas on what to do with your wide walls!!!
