I survived my first manic sample sale. It had to be on the hottest day of the year and crammed into the smallest room, but it was a success! I felt like I was on a game show as I fought over products with fellow shoppers as I tried to find things that I could picture in my house, or what I could repurpose!
The frames I love as is, they are beautifully worn, and the whitewashed one actually was attached to something else but broke in a scuffle, but it is beautiful as is.
The wall art in the back has a wonderful quote “live what you love” on a Proudly South African background of proteas and old stamps.
The clock, matches my kitchen decor of old French country kitchen, so that was a given.
Onto the bottles, yes bottles, my current obsession (see my post on decorating with Mason Jars) for these two as well as the host of other ones I have collected, I have a few ideas for, but I’m not set on one so I will post my final images of my bottles once they are looking beautiful!
Rule number one of going home shopping, always have an end use in mind and how you can repurpose objects rather than buying an item for their intended end use! It makes shopping more fun as you come up with ideas. For example, you come across a gorgeous wrought iron or galvanized iron wine rack, you don’t drink wine, but you could buy this gorgeous wine rack and use it as extra towel storage in your small guest bathroom.
Always think of an alternative ending!
