One of my fave pastimes when I have free time is flea market shopping! I love to see what others have "breathed into" an old piece of furniture.
Here are a few of my finds...
I needed a book cabinet for a certain space at our lake house and found this old pie safe painted green. I painted it white and then sanded the edges to let the green show through a bit. 
iron pieces I found, all with a touch of rust for character!
all flea market finds for a bedroom wall grouping
this hand painted chest was quite a find, by an artist named "Kemp" in 2000I didn't have to do anything to it except fill it with board games!
Here are a few recent pieces I've found, but didn't buy,
no place to put them, but I love their look!

I've seen them paint light fixtures on all the home shows, just rough up with sandpaper and spray paint, voila!
I do want to add a stencil like this to something I already haveor maybe paint it as a wall treatment.
I love these colors
Are you a shabby chic kinda gal?
just shabby ol' me!
Love the things you have found!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that vanity! I would love to have that in my room, but all my big furniture would dwarf it.
ReplyDeleteYou've just inspired me to get back into flea market shopping, stenciling and refinishing... all things I used to love to do but just haven't done in a while. Now I remember why I liked it so much.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finds. I love that stencil on the last photos and that chandelier. I love shabby chic, but only in moderation or hubby would go crazy. I just added some shabby chic to our bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI have adored shabby chic forever and if we ever sell our house & get moved, I'm going to get rid of everything & start from scratch... all shabby chic for a very comfortable lifestyle!!! No more formal anything, since it's just not the way we live anymore.
