Late post. Blame it on the little one who just turned two and thinks naps are obsolete…
Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the room to share today. After finally completing the painting, I turned my attention to looking/shopping/thrifting for “stuff” to use for styling. I recently bought that phone(above) from a thrift store because
I’ve always wanted to style with an orange phone. I spray painted it orange, but almost regretted it. It took forever to spray the cord and I still have touch ups to do. We’ll see how it fares in the bedroom…
I thrifted this bird and brass container. I paid less than $3 for both, and I intend to use them in some way in the room. I wished there was a pair of the birds as pairs are great feng shui…However,
i do have these pair of beautiful birds! I have been searching for frames for them and haven’t been successful in finding frames that I love, so I will have to cough up the dollars to get them professionally framed…
thrifted too. loving the texture and the gold rim detail and it’s already white, so no diy necessary.
More thrifted loot. I couldn’t resist these at all! I may not actually use it all in the bedroom, but they’re going somewhere in the house!
I bought this rug at my local Tuesday Mornings last week. Great texture and colour! Great price too. I foresee lots of sleepless nights since I’ll be working my butt off to get the room styled and ready for shooting. It’s a challenge when you have to do all that other Mommy stuff too. Nonetheless, I am excited to see how it all comes together. Blessings and happy Wednesday everyone! xx
Well, maybe my fellow participants have much more for you to see, so let’s go and check them out!
Love all your finds and I can only imagine how long that cord took to spray! So excited to see your space!!
ReplyDeleteLove your loot Stacey! You know I'm a huge sucker for anything brass! Lucky!The phone looks cool - wow, you win for most unique-item-spray-painted for the ORC!!! LOL!

Oh gosh. Hang in there. I think we're all feeling the pressure right now. On the plus side, you have some wonderful things to work with!
ReplyDeleteThat rug is the bomb. Lots of loot to play with too. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteso many great finds. I hope the phone holds up because it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLoving the phone. The rug is perfect, too. My daughter gave up napping super early. Life was hard back then. Good luck this week.
ReplyDeletePerfect....I am all about the thrifted pieces...you know that! And the rug is pretty cool also. I know you will manage to pull it together....no worries!
ReplyDeleteLove those bird prints. I'm liking the phone orange but I can imagine it was a pain to spray. Looking forward to the reveal.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great regrets of my life is not buying an orange rotary phone I saw in a vintage shop last summer. I love yours!
ReplyDeleteSooooo awesome, Stacey!
ReplyDeleteI love that orange phone! :-)
I love all of your finds, but I'm DYING over that rug!!! The colors -- just incredible! I'm feeling the pressure, too, Stacey!
ReplyDeleteStacey ~ what awesome finds! That orange phone is worth every bit of trouble, so cool! Fingers crossed for good long naps this week! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the thrift store finds! I also love finding brass accessories! Painting the phone orange was a brilliant idea. :)
ReplyDeleteThe thrifting was a success cant wait to see it all next week! love the phone!
ReplyDeleteI love that rug you found! and love that you've spray painted the phone orange! it will all come together, i'm freaking out about my reveal too! (so misery loves company. i'll think bout you this week!)
ReplyDeleteGOOD MORNING! Oh dear, I am so behind my blog visits - Stacey, I don't know if you've ever taught the secondary level, but it's fabulous, but TIME CONSUMING! I am bushed.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting a good start on your make-over, and getting just right for photos takes time. We are here to watch, though I'm late!
Thank you for visiting, as always, it's great to see you! Anita

I'd love to know the secret of spray painting a phone...Did that require primer and what kind of spray paint did you use? Love the old analog phone and SO handy if there is an extended power outage! -Caitlin
ReplyDeleteLove your finds and am sooo looking forward ro ser it all put together!!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on the sleepless nights! We are almost there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic rug! All your accessories are great, but I especially love the duck.
ReplyDeleteStacey - From a feng shui perspective and to strengthen the love between you and your husband, make sure to hang those beautiful bird images so the birds FACE EACH OTHER. Right now, they are looking away and it's important that they are connecting like you and your husband want to continue doing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pieces you're pulling together for this--that vintage orange phone is fabulous! And I've been looking for brass birds, don't know why everyone else seems to find them but me :) Can't wait to see more!
