Trash to Treasure

 Hi Everyone

 Happy Wednesday 

♥

On our early morning walk

 Handsome husband and I found 

 a broken piano stool

It was sitting in our neighbors trash bin
we knocked on her door and asked if we could have it, she said
 yes but you know its broken right
pretty sure I said yes or maybe just nodded my head   
with a smile

The seat was completely gone

but the top still worked moving up and down

 {Love} 

the  white cast iron base and rusty charm

It just so happens that I was hosting

a small afternoon get together for friends

 I simply added a pretty vintage metal cake plate

 and we had a pretty trash to treasure

centerpiece for the table

I am always looking for ways to add height to our table centerpiece

it adds elegance and charm

 Beautiful red ripe strawberries

 A few individual shortcakes

  Home made whipping cream 

Helped to made a pretty and delicious 

afternoon treat

 Sterling silver filigree

 forks for each guest

♥

 This trash to treasure piano stool was a hit 

 and the topic of conversation all afternoon

So fun to reuse and re~ purpose
grateful this vintage beauty was saved from the landfill
and ended up at our Home

Trash to Treasure

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday

We have a new addition 

A beautiful  vintage corner china cabinet

I was not looking for one, I wasn't even shopping 

This little china cabinet made its way to our home

via a friend who did not want it anymore 

She and her Husband were on their way to the dump

she called me to see if we might want it

telling me it was in bad shape 

 This is funny because lately I have been in a

less is more mood {don't worry I don't think it's contagious} so I was hesitant

I almost said no thank you before I even got a chance to see it

but they came by the house and

  I fell in {Love} 

 so petite 

just look at the adorable detailing 

♥

  Fit like a glove in the corner of the dining room

yes that is blue painters tape I am going to paint the cabinet

but gratefully  I remembered to take a few pic's 

to show you how it looks before...

I can't wait to start painting

stay tuned for the after pictures

This truly is one persons trash is another's treasure!
