Master Bedroom Update - Authentic, vintage blanket

LOVE that vintage

authentic blanket

that I picked up for a song.

Finally starting to fill the wall with

sail art.

Loving the blue, green, orange

vibe.

I didn't think they would all go either.

For me, I tend to throw frames on the wall

to get a feel for spacing.

Then, when I've got it all together

I paint them to "match"

and/or get pieces reframed that need it.

I just picked up some mini

navy blue lamp shades

For some little sassy brassy lamps.

I actually like them all as is

(GASP!)

but I might break out the spray paint

on those ladies.

Especially since I also have a pair of wicker shades

that I might try.

Maybe a great green

or blue color on the lamps.

We shall see.

Some faves still in this room

Still collect vintage alarm clocks.

Still loving the Italian wine bottles.

Enjoy!

Tapestry Love

One of my fave places
to head to
in any thrift shop
is the textiles/linen section.

In a post or two,
I'll show you the gorgeous
fabric
I got
and covered some dining room chairs with

I have enough to make a couple of pillows

I am really digging
black and white
in my gray and white
and beige
main level

We shall see

Anyhow

My most recent find
in the textile section
was this awesome tapestry

Handmade Tapestry

Got it on sale

50% off of course

Used a very

scientific/preservationist

method to mount it

Scientifically mounting the Handmade Tapestry

And hung it by the awesome powder room

New Home for the Handmade Tapestry

That you can read more about

right at this post about the bow and arrow

that completed that bathroom.

Right before I got this tapestry.

Found and Used | Bow and Arrow

Remember how I went to the Pac Gal Flea

And I found this stash of goodness

Pacific Gallery Auction House

Annual Flea Market | Seattle | 2010

I blogged about that trip of awesomeness

at b3HD [the original] in this

Pac Gal Annual Flea post

It was awesome.

But do you see that bow poking out of the stash?

Look closer...

okay, here's a better shot of it

If you didn't make the jump to read the original post

let me sum it up really quickly for you:

I. almost. cried.

When I saw this set.

I had been on the lookout for an authentic Native headdress

to go in this space

And even though I DO live in the PNW

after having come here from Upstate NY

by way of New Mexico

Somehow, I had managed to never come across one

I was so obsessed

that when I first passed by this very childish

not authentic get up

I was completely blind to it

Then, I was thinking of the basket (that I hung it in front of)

and how maybe I would fill it with something

When out of nowhere, this vision came to me

and I thought to myself

"self...didn't you just see a bow and arrow here somewhere?"

I roamed back over, and when I picked it up

and she told me the price

(you WILL have to make the jump for that story - CLASSIC!)

I think I might have actually shed a tear.

All together, that powder room is coming along nicely

Main Floor powder room

I just need to come to grips with whatever design vision

was in my builder's head

when he put up that mirror.

Or maybe, that was the doing of my neighbor's sister.

Maybe.
