STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD

I'm defining my new style by making some inspiration boards. This is the first board I've made but didn't work out as expected because I ended up having two of the same photos. Oh well, you get the idea. I'll try again but wanted to share this for now. Some of the elements of my style are: blue/white colors, stoneware, rustic metal, pillow ticking fabric, warm natural woods, grain sack, small pops of yellow ( notice the flowers in the foyer), natural, and a casual country-feel. I'm getting there.

This weekend my husband Les and I  went to an antique auction. It was going to be an all day affair so we took our canvas chairs and our coffee and headed out. They had some wonderful items there and I bought MUCH MORE than I had anticipated I would!  Our car was packed to the brim with items we had bought but we STILL had to pick up some big pieces the next day that wouldn't fit in the car. The next day Les went to pick up the rest of the furniture and came home with two extra FREE pieces that nobody wanted! So our garage is FULL! Most of the furniture needs some TLC so I've got some work to do!

I don't attend too many auctions because they tend to be all day affairs. You have to wait until the item you want is up for bidding on and I'm too impatient to sit and wait! I want to go in, find what I want and run out. But I just might go to a few more as I found such great stuff and most at good prices. And we had lots of fun also! I wish I had thought to take my camera! Have to get into the habit of taking that thing! But then I would have forgotten to take the photos! I'll start working on that!
