I'm in the Fall and Christmas mood, I've been shopping around Goodwill's and Salvation Army for Holiday decor and also this year I just got thru changing all the wall colors inside and outside my home as well as my furniture. Below I will show you what started this entire color change, the picture below I found at Goodwill and something about the colors and the water that pulled me in to change from Autumn warm colors to the grays and blues. see below: I also went to Kirkland/Hobby Lobby & Michaels clearance sections and found lots of good deals mostly 70% discounts lets get started below:
here is the picture that started the color change in my home , it's an Italian scenery with gondola's in the front of the homes and I loved the blues in the picture therefore I went for blues and grays and light aqua colors in the house.
BELOW ARE MY FINDS FOR THE WEEKEND AND WHAT I DID WITH THEM :
These are actual candle holders but I'm going to use them like on the mantle or on top of books. The one on the right is the golden color I found them and the one on the left is after I did a white wash on them
this is a long skinny wooden bowl sort of what is used for sushi, I painted it white and I want to use it to add acorns for Thanksgiving and maybe lil pine cones for Christmas
ok so this candle holder I picked up so I can use inside a box I got at Kirkland"s to do a floral arrangement around it (see the box at the end )
the horseshoe I also painted white and I'm not done with it I saw a picture on Pinterest where they decorate it with burlap flowers
this table my cousin Jules gave to me years ago and it has been raw wood for years and I felt horrible painting it any other color I loved the raw wood "BUT" this weekend I was in a white mood and here it is... I did a white wash and the wood was so raw you could not tell there was white was so it took 3 rounds of white wash with chalk paint I made myself, after it was dry I mixed in a paper plate the following colors:Gold/Brown/Brass and more of the white chalk paint and I did light stokes sort of a wash thru all the corners and on top and this was my end result.
this table I also got at Goodwill it's in my entrance I painted the bottom with chalk paint in white. I wanted a place for the boys to sit when the come home from school and put their shoes and book bags
I found this glass candle holder its from Home Goods at Goodwill and I also found the dome and the French glass Fleur De Lis and I'm going to use the dome for Christmas to place a small Christmas tree in it
on this table I found the trailer at Michael's for $5.00 the the rest of the stuff at Good will oh the flowers are picks from Michael's (see below for info on the candle inside the dome) |
found this small hand painted frame at Goodwill and it sits perfect in my entry way on a lil cottage chair I have on the wall |
Got this long distress box at Kirkland for $12.00 (this is where I want to do my Thanksgiving floral arrangement |
another Goodwill find |
I found this Apothecary Guild candle the scent is Cognac its a $30.00 candle for 1.00 at Salvation Army and it comes with a dome cover over it (candle was never used ) |
so this was a summer frame from Hobby Lobby retailed at $60.00 got it for $3.00 it said Lake House and I colored over it and added this Michael metal hanger that I also got on sale for $1.00 |
