The bench and the chair are where they were meant to be. I think it helps with cottage decor. I look at it as found and put together of things we love and what makes it so comfortable.

I LOVE your videos. My 100+ year old house looks different from everything else’s, and I like it like that. I have lots of handiwork items; petit point, my friend’s grandmother’s needle point, and my own cross stitch. I love what I have and don’t intend to change it.

Your house is beautiful and exactly my taste. I also shop in thrift stores, antique stores and consignment shops. Like you, the amount I spend on a piece is where I find my delight. To prove it, I can tell you what I paid for each piece, years later. The less, the better. I do spend money on upholstered furniture because at 62, I need comfort. But I prefer vintage to new, and agree with you, I want my house to reflect who I am. Not the latest trends. Just me.

I did the same thing in my bedroom years ago. I purchased a rug from an antique store for $500 (what I really wanted would have been thousands). It had the design and colors I loved but I wanted that Aubusson look. Almost like a tapestry and the reverse side of the rug gave me that. I used it that way for years. When I wanted something different, I sold it in an antique store for the same price I had paid originally.

I found it at a thrift store and added the blue paint. Amazingly, I found a mate for it a few weeks ago at a different thrift store and will be painting them to match so I have a pair. You can see the new lamp on a more recent thrift video - "Thrift Haul and Decorating Challenge."

How did you connect your iron bed to the bed frame? My husband has an iron bed inherited from his great-grandmother. We are trying to for a queen mattress on the frame . Thanks
@stonecottageadventures304 Жыл бұрын
Good question! Sadly, the answer is that the bed frame is not connected to the iron headboard. It is just propped between the wall and the mattress. Because the mattress and box springs are so tall, it is very stable. That is part of the reason we don't use the footboard. I have contemplated using a block of wood and attaching the frame to one side and the headboard to the other. Just never had a pressing need.

Definitely. The little sofa has a toile de jouy, a French style fabric traditionally with pastoral scenes. Other common colors for toiles include: green, black, dark red, magenta, and brown. But contemporary fabric artists are using a variety of colors and scenes. Like the New York skyline or UFO's!

I am a subscriber because I love your decor and decorating tips, but I was very disappointed to hear you mock other youtubers for their "Hauls". Not everyone has access to beautiful antiques handed down to them. Successful tubers cooperate with each other, but you seem to be just competing.
