Hi friends! If you haven’t seen already on my facebook page, the Sweet Clover Vintage Market is open today – Sunday, 10am – 5pm!
I really love all the pieces in my space right now, even though I know that they don’t necessarily all quite fit together. That’s OK…they’re all representative of my personal style, which I’ll tell you a bit more about next week.
I LOVE coming across dressers like this because they always look amazing painted. I try to be very careful not to put the paint on too thick in the details so that they stand out. I painted this one ASCP Paris Grey, which looks especially cool since this piece comes with a mirror and it amplifies the silver mirrored effect beautifully.
My little herringbone table has gone completely retro. I have refrigerator boxes, vintage Nestle promotional gift boxes, and a junior marksman handbook. I’m not really much into guns and none of my immediate family hunts, but I have an appreciation for this little book that teaches children how to use their guns safely, namely by not pointing and shooting your gun at other people. Let’s just say that if Ralphie had this little book, his mom might not have been so worried that he’d shoot his eye out.
This little book stand has come in handy for displaying my architectural prints and other knick-knacks. I have no clue where it came from, but I imagine it in a Sunday school classroom for some reason.
I bought this chair a while ago with the intention of keeping it for myself, but I just don’t have a place for it. When you lift the seat off you can see that it originally had a hand-caned, which leads me to believe that it’s pretty old. It also makes me miss my dear Grandpa quite a bit (explanation here). I thought about reupholstering it, but I think I like the needlepoint seat for now. It would add a hand-made, aged look to an eclectic living room.
This pretty gold mirror would also make a great tray for greenery and mercury glass in the center of your Thanksgiving table!
Vintage Christmas bulbs, 3 large or 4 small for $2. I love all the colors. I also have a few strands of vintage lights that work and are so fun and colorful. Just be careful, those bulbs get hot!
Can you believe I found this cool, painted pallet on the side of the road near my house? It was perfect for an ornament Christmas tree.
The bottom table is a vintage Lane table with two felt-lined drawers. I am such a sucker for brass hardware. And you can see my grey and gold love in both my paper pinwheels which can be used as ornaments or gift tags, and my French Linen table with gold accents.
