Across from the windows on one side of the dining area of our kitchen is this (false) fireplace. We found it trashed and brought it home where my husband repaired and painted it. EVERYTHING you see in this photo was purchased at thrift stores or garage sales except the "PEACE" sign hanging on the mirror. It was an after-Christmas clearance item.
My clothes, too, were all thrift store purchases...
This picture was in the background when I posed in our library/music room. It's large and in an attractive frame. I found it at an auction (it's not a painting - just a copy). If anyone knows its title or the painter of the original, I'd like to know!
At the time I bought it, I was giving piano lessons to two sisters. The girls in the painting reminded me of them SO much! Don't you like how the light of the candle seems to LIVE on the painting?
Hi Rebecca...Love your little white pitchers. So nice to see all your thrifted purchases in lovely room settings. Much of our home is thrifted, too, but you'd never know it by they way it looks. We are so blessed to have good eyes for decorating, don't you think? Susan
ReplyDeleteSuch a stylish abode, I love it. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely as always....i love that painting I noticed it in another picture....that painting has a Baroque feel to it but I do not think that would be the time frame for it...What are they holding exactly? The artist was probably just influeneced by baroque but that might help you as you try to figure out who the artist is. I tried to google around for you I have thrifted pictures before and found the artists on google but I did not have any luck with your picture sorry....But I would keep trying to look it up on google you may be able to find it ~Blessings Heather
ReplyDeleteIt's a lamp with a flame in it. I, too, tried to google two girls with a lamp/candle. I didn't find it either! Thanks for trying :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I'm so enjoying your home tour. Your house looks so comfortable but still well organized. I love the pattern of your rug and the china shelf in the corner.
ReplyDeleteAlso, YOU are looking great in that cropped vest! What a great piece to pull your layers together.
Thank you for your comment! I'm very much enjoying fall colors - it's such a pretty color palette this year.
Proof positive that you don't have to spend a fortune on good taste!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to see your home of thrifted treasures. Your house must be fairly large, at least it appears so from the photo's so far.
