175 sales and newest knobs

Well I have hit over 175 sales in my Etsy shop

 in just a few short months,

you gals (and guys) are awesome!!

It was a dream

that I TOTALLY did not expect

 to become a reality,

that my knobs

would catch on

as a new trend.

Well, they have,

 and I am thrilled that you all love them

as much as I do!

So for those of you

 who have not seen them,

I invite you over to my shop,

Vintage Skye on Etsy,
to check them out

 and see if they can make your heart

go pitter patter!

Anthro Mirror

One of my previous posts had promised an Anthropologie Knock Off Distressed Mirror.

Weelll......

Here it is!

I had so much fun with this!

-AFTER the mirror finish was distressed!

I just used paint stripper and a scraper (outside of course)

to distress the back of the mirror.

The frame was a plasticky gold thingy that I primed and painted gray and finished with a whitewash that I wiped off of the raised edges.

Then came the fun part,

spray the back of the mirror with spray glue,

lay a pretty piece of floral fabric on it and smooth out bubbles,

Snap the mirror and the backing back onto the frame and

VOILA!!

Join Me In My Living Room Dreams Redo

The Restoration hardware Source Book 2011 came in the mail today!
 I sat myself right down with a cup of coffee and started dreaming.

There was so much loveliness that I decided to go window shopping
at Restoration Hardware and Anthropologie. It's been awhile since
I've done that so I figured today was a wonderful day for that!

I decided that I will just redo my living room (this is soo totally in
my dreams and not reality).

 So here is what it looks like in my dreams:

Some lovely pink drawer pulls,



Notched Glass Knob Anthropologie


Gotta have some black and white with typography thrown in!



Aleksey Knob Anthropologie

These clear ones are just the right touch.

For the smaller wall beside the door I will hang one of these,
(that way I can check to make sure my jacket is straight and
my hair is smooth before I head out the door.


White Narcissus Mirror Anthropologie


This sweet little puppy will sit beside my brown leather
 couch to keep me company,

Throw a few of these lovely frames on the bookshelves.
 (I will be putting my own photos in them though)

This lovely locker will go on the other side of the door from the mirror
, I will trust it to take good care of my much loved guests belongings.

I have to pause to swoon here for a minute!
Ok, I'm better, now I'll just throw one of these fabulous bowls on the coffee table,

With a few of these to put in the bowl for some wonderful texture.

Can't forget the bookcases! I'll need at least 3 of them so that
I can store all my books AND my decor, cuz you know I love both!
I will put these along the far wall behind and to the side of my
 angled couch.



Fluted Column Bookcase Restoration Hardware

And to complete it all, I will have these lovely drapes on my bay
window and my window on the north wall behind the recliner.
I also need to grab a few to hang on the side of each sidelite
on my front door.

I am sooo tired after redoing the whole living room.
Time for bed.
Gonna have sweet dreams about this lovely room!
