Little Things

I should be having some exciting things to share soon because - WE GOT OUR PIANO!!  and I finished some bigger pieces of furniture.  But in the meantime, I wanted to show you some little things I've finished.  The first is something that's been finished and hanging in our house for a long time, but I thought I might share anyways.  I had seen on pinterest a photo frame out of a window like this:

So when I was at the flea market back in November I picked up a window frame.  It was a little different because it was more narrow and divided.  I used twine instead of wire to hang my photos off of.  Here is what I made...

It hangs in our front hallway.

A quoteable card I like and a picture of my Papa :).

My mom and dad in college!

My beautiful bridesmaids and a vintage postcard of the park that we were married in.

Next to this spot where this hangs I am working on wall of plates, frames, and other things.  It is a work in progress, but here is some of what hangs there.

(Shoutout to Miss Abby Bachman for the fun Francis photo - great wedding gift!)

In my thrifting searches lately I've found a lot of candle wall sconces.  No before pictures, but I can assure you they look much better than before :). The first is on the brown wall.  It is in Annie Sloan Old White.

The next I found I painted in Greek Blue.  They had a mirror in the background, but I wanted to try something different.  I decided to try antiquing the mirror.  It was my first go at this and in the end I think I took off a bit too much of the original mirror.  To remedy this problem I found what I think was a neat solution!  I mod podged pages from an old book onto the back of the mirror to peak through where there was no longer any mirror showing.  It may be a tad hard to tell in the pictures, but here are the results...

Kinda fun right?  These along with some smaller old white sconces will hopefully be available on Etsy soon!
