learning


i learned something new about my husband this weekend. and it made me SOOO happy and excited. are you ready for it???

HE LIKES FLEA MARKETS!!!!!

had to show him a few things i wanted to get for the house before buying them and was bracing for an in and out trip to my favorite flea market, but was pleasantly surprised to see him enjoying all the old stuff! i can't even tell you excited i was. i was beaming all day dreaming of a lifetime of antiquing together. i told him garage sales can be just as fun, but i don't have him sold on that one yet...

our trip to the flea market was quite fruitful...



i wanted little stools for beside our bed because there isn't much room for bedside tables and i hate how they tend to accumulate stuff. i thought these were cute and rustic. our other bedroom stuff is kind of stuffy so i like that this helps break it up. my rule is that nothing stays on them during the day... you can see that i don't follow it very well....


do you love this chair? probably only if you are into old stuff, but we LOVE it. because of his back G has a thing about nice chairs and i knew he would love this one. as we were leaving the market i pulled him over to see 'one last thing.' we left with it. i LOVE how unique it is. and it is way comfy to sit in... makes me wonder why more chairs aren't made so you sit at the diagonal...


we also got a desk for me for only $20! its old and sturdy and i love it... my little room sort of came together this weekend so i'll show you that update soon.

** the pic at the top is just one i like of our bed. i've been meaning to show you that we hung our lights a few weeks ago. i LOVE them so much (an antique find from a few years ago...), but we need something on the wall... any suggestions? **

This might sound funny but I was watching TV the other day and someone used an old table top for there head board. Maybe you could do something like that. Just a thought!!
