Inspirations at RoundTop

A favorite display at Leftovers near RoundTop Antiques Faire in Brenham, Texas

I know, I know.. I’m a little s-l-o-w in getting back to you , We have had company- Large and Small- the smaller of which made for some crazy sleeping.. I felt much like the Jack-In-the-Box Nana for several nights  : )

We have been enjoying the company of family,  deer in the yard every day,  & cooling days as of late. Every sign is pointing straight to my favorite season. 

Pumpkin Spice Latte at our friendly coffee house lately and of course- RoundTop Antiques Faire ( that just officially ended recently ) were the real  signals around this house that Fall had indeed decided to make it’s appearance. 

We braved several hours of travel, found a little hotel that allowed us to take little furry friends along and even fought the rain a little. Overall it was a nice break from routine. Like a energy bar of creativity for the brain....

Beautiful old bottles, large & small caught our eye..

A stop during the rain at Leftovers provided some beautiful displays to savor..

Yes, after hours of walking a much needed soak with Lavender Epsom did the trick !

Exceptional Corbels. . .  Beautiful, right ?

Here is a little sample of the fun. Although we were hoping for some exciting new things and were a little disappointed in that, there were some beautiful displays and creative people everywhere !

Very Fun Vintage "No glair" glasses in display case.

A colorful display at the New Junk Gypsy..

Well.... we just need to Top it off !

A very clever use of floral plates at the New Junk Gypsy
 

We gained some reflective time- made a decision to change our website

to New Home Decor/ Accessories, and reserve a section dedicated entirely

to the Vintage Decor that we love so much.  Still contemplating a new name

for the Store and all the little details but it's in the works for now.

Till next time- Enjoy this lovely season. Back soon with new plans &

ideas for a new name.

The Naked Fireplace...

Well folks, many a moon has shone on this new home in the country we had longed for- many days and nights of unpacking, rearranging, having family & friends over... But NO FURNITURE , NO ACCESSORIES, & NO lamps... in the family room or Den.  Get the picture?

Lots to do... here's a good start ! This fireplace is daunting or should I say keeping me up at night ?

Until a few weeks ago, Aubrie & I were over industrious and decided to have my Dad come out ( don’t ya just love Dads ? ) and bring the last load of things from the warehouse.. an overflow of things for the website- odds & ends, things remaining from shows and the move out here.

As we were unpacking I ran across an old print on board that I had used as a fireplace screen in a house before I married my Darling, an old window screen that Aubrie had in her office ... and away we went ! 

I literally had the idea, grabbed her by the hand and practically pulled her into the house. It only took a few seconds to show her what I had in mind....

I wanted a fairly neutral pallet, weathered type furniture and pops of green. And honey , did it work out well.  A few weeks earlier my Darling asked me once again- “ Are you SURE ” ?  before cutting the legs off of my favorite farmhouse table to create the PERFECT COFFEE TABLE for me. 

A great job.. thanks honey !

Loved it as a table, but couldn't cross my legs,  so it makes a much better coffee table, don't you think ?

Along with the large arrangements I had made the month before, the few things we put together looked pretty good & we accomplished what we intended to do.  Just “scrounging” through things I already owned proved to be the best shopping and FREE ...  Gotta LOVE IT ! 

Much better..... but will have to edit.... you know how it is.....

Next I have my sights on being very creative, painting on some old bottles and making some lovely artwork for our bedroom with some botanicals that I found on Etsy...   Another story... another time.

Till next time-   Write & tell us what you can repurpose.

Diana & Aubrie
