Pink Shutters on Display

Some of the last of the wedding decor making its way into my home decor. For now a set of the pink shutters is resting as a back drop on top of my bedroom entertainment stand.

Tucked in with dried roses, glass, candles and beads, it makes a romantic soft eye catching display.

I then moved the other white suitcase I had previously on that shelf over with another on top the armoir.

Softly dancing sunlight adds to the charm, I am always refreshed in this room, I do think it is my favorite.

Be sure and check out my giveaway while you are here!!!

Curbside Blue Crate

It may not be a crate per say....but it is kind of like 3 crates hooked together. Not sure of it's original use, it was laying by the roadside during our annual clean up week. A few oil stains lead me to believe it had been left in the garage for sometime, and...I had to have it!

I have to say, I was glad my husband was helping my son with his find, an entertainment center, if he had been with me, he could have talked me out of getting this, or tried to shame my junk habit.
But he wasn't.....and it is mine!

It goes perfectly with some other recent garage sale finds, like "new" old wheels, horseshoes and a rusty lantern.

I love the display, it has the perfect rustic charm.

I also came across a wonderful chippy pump at a sale for $10. Can't wait to find the perfect place for her!

I have a few more curb side finds to share and some amazing garage sale finds! Stay tuned, curb side shoppin' is still in progess the rest of the week.

Shutters

Incorporating wedding decor made for a fun change to my mantel. After collecting shutters and painting them pink for the wedding, I am now searching for fun ways to use them.
