Since we movd into this house four weeks ago I have been changing things around on a daily basis. My previous two houses had lots of florals everywhere but this time I am being very good and only introducing the odd floral here and there. Really loving the white on white look. After reading many of your lovely blogs I see that many people are opting for this look. That way you can introduce florals, beachy accents and mix it around. I really love how modern is introduced with vintage finds as well. Not that I can ever see myself going modern.
I love the thrill of a good find and my heart really does skip a beat when i find that awesome pieces of furniture. I will never forget the day I was on my way to a church car boot sale. I was standing there behind this car that had just arrived and the lady gracefully got out of the car and opened her boot. There sitting there were four vintage chandeliers. When I asked her the price and she said $10 each I knew my day was done. It did not matter what ever else I found at the church market I knew that my day was going to be a great one. After i chatted to the stall holder she mentioned that she was renovating her home on the canal and it was full of chandeliers. I found myself at her place the very next week removing them all for her and adding to my collection. I must say that it was the chandelier that always started it all for me those many years ago. I have collected them ever since and ust say that I find them very hard to part with. I have installed one chandelier in this rental home we are currently in and the remainder of them are all stored for my dream home. Wherever I go I must say that I do not find the chandelier the chandelier finds me.
