Painted Magazine/Side Table

August 5, 2013 By stylishrevamp 6 Comments

Remember this free find…

photo copy 3

Well, I finished painting it and have decided to use it as my night stand at the Island home.  Since I have no idea when I am going to be back at the house, I quickly style it and took a photo so I could show you.  What do you think?

I picked up the sample size paints at ACE in Honolulu Blue and cloud white. I used painters tape to mark off the stripes in random widths.  Once the paint was dry, I sanded with my sanding block so the lines weren’t so straight.  Then I mixed equal parts water with the cloud white paint and did a quick white wash over the entire piece. I can’t wait to take it to the Island Home.  I think it will look perfect in the master bedroom.

A few of my favorite things…

July 27, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Finally, back at the Island Home. I have been looking around at a few of my favorite things and thought I would share them with you.

Vintage Nautical Tin Tray

I found this lovely Nautical tray at a consignment shop.  I am going to use it as top for a small end table in the loft/attic room.  I have already attached it to a milk can. (Yes, another milk can!) When it’s completely revamped I will post a picture.

Vintage Wire Basket

I also found this metal basket at a consignment shop. I have it in the kitchen under the china cabinet.  I love it.

Vintage Wicker Club Chair

I bought this wicker chair a couple years ago at the same place I bought the desk and vanity that I showed you here. I bought two of them and they are so comfortable. Especially sitting on the screened in porch watching the sunset.  The porch pillow I bought at Coco & Co. in St. Michaels. You can find their website here. I love, love, love that shop.  If you are ever near St. Michaels you should definitely stop in and check it out!

Vintage Egg Basket

I found this basket/egg carrier on one of my day trips on the Island. It is just one of those I had to have. I keep it on top of my china cabinet that you can find here.

Vintage Canada Dry Bottle Opener     VIntage Canada Dry Bottle Opener

I found this vintage Canada Dry bottle opener when we were in Maine and I knew that I would put it in the the kitchen at the Island Home.  I want to make or find a small tin/metal box to place below it to catch the bottle caps.  It reminds me of drinking cherry cream soda with my brother when were were with my dad.

I am going for the easy breezy look. I am going to use the first item in the family room for a magazine holder. The mirror I am going to use here. I am going to the house this weekend and I will show you how everything looks in the room.

Loft Desk

photo-4 copy 8          photo-4 copy 9     I found this desk and chair set for $40 and thought it would look cute in the attic/loft area for the boys.  I repainted it with a high gloss white paint and then decoupaged some maps to the top of the desk.  After I painted the chair, I reupholstered the chair in the blue and beige stripe that I picked up at JoAnn Fabric. You can find the desk in one of my favorite rooms here.

Using Bargain Finds to Create Unique Spaces

July 23, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

 

This past weekend, I spent some time hanging out at our Island Home and I thought I would get some updated photos of the little office area I created. It is really no more than a corner in one of the bedrooms but my favorite thing about it is my $10 desk. I was going to sand it down and repaint it but that never happened.  All it really needed was a good old fashion scrubbing. I like that it is kind of shabby chic which fits in with the Island vibe of the house.  I love using my bargain finds to create unique spaces that our original to me.  I feel like when I decorate with my thrifted finds I am creating a look that most people will not have because you usually can’t go out and find the exact pieces at a store.

Creating an Office Space with a Ten Dollar Thrift Shop Find

How I am Using my Ten Dollar Thrift Shop Find to Create an Office Space

Using Bargain Finds to Create Unique Spaces

 

Everything in this space either came from a thrift store or was a clearance/sale item.  My favorite piece hands down is the ten-dollar desk.  It came from my favorite shop on the Eastern Shore.  It is the perfect size and I like the little center drawer. I also have to say that I like the chair which came from Target many years ago.  It makes for a nice and comfy office chair. I also like the old fashion bell on the desk.  When the Gman was about 3 he was with me on a thrift shopping trip and he loved the shop bell at the register so they gave it to him. I miss those days when he came with me everywhere!

As I am sitting here looking at the photo, I am noticing that all my sea glass is missing from the glass lamp. The same person that stuck that bird statue on my desk probably took the sea glass.  I am  wondering how I missed all of that! I was probably just focused on my $10 desk.

The wall decor came from a thrift shop and the wooden box with the chalkboard top came from TJ Maxx.  I like the driftwood look of it. It usually houses some of my books which are missing as well.  Apparently, I am not very observant when I am taking photos!

My $10 Dollar Thrifted Desk

I hope you have enjoyed my little office space at my home away from home.

Until Next Time,

Door Decor

July 23, 2013 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

Check out this cute idea.  When we were in Maine last summer we stopped at several antique/junk shops.  We found several old letters and numbers that I fell in love with and just had to have.  So we thought it would be fun to put them on all the doors.

Stereo Stand

Check out my fabulous find!  I found this little end table at Goodwill for $15.15. Yes, that’s right.  My boys thought I was crazy when I decided that I just had to have this lovely piece.  I wasn’t even sure where I was going to use it but for $15 I knew I would find the perfect spot. I think it turned out  beautiful and the stereo equipment fits in it perfectly.  We drilled a small hole in the back panel for the cords.  After a quick sanding, I used Rust-Oleum primer and painters touch in semi-gloss white. So for $15.15  (the spray paint I already had on hand) I have a new end table/mini entertainment center.  I will try to find a picture of the entire room so you can see how it turned out
