Around The Hood


We had a beautiful weekend...it was 78 degrees out, perfect California sunshine!




Most of  you who follow my blog know I love vintage finds...I found this bowl at an estate sale and put it on my coffee table in the living room.



I want to share some of the things that I brought back from Round Top. This rug is one of my favorite things. You can see in the background that I had new curtains made.

 I can thank my dog, Sway aka FeFe, for peeing on the last ones....the little stinker!

I had a band of fabric put on the edges...






My new rug has a tad of blue in it.

This rug is a vintage rug that was washed and sanded...Yes, I said sanded down with sand paper!

 This style is actually really pretty...I wish I would of bought a couple of them.





I also found these prints and the ones below.











I have always loved pictures of birds and I had to buy two of these for each side of my window in the dining room.









This is an antique French Grape Pod. I loved the color, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.

A lot of people hang them on the wall and put flowers in them.

I was trying to think of something different.

Any ideas?




My roses were so pretty I had to take a picture of them and show you...


A little up-date..

I was on the mend from pneumonia, but I got a cold from my daughter! I can't quite believe it! Cross your fingers and for those who are religious, please pray this cold doesn't go into my lungs!

 I have to many things to do to be sick!


Thanks,
Julie

  1. You're taste is amazing. I love the new drapes, and the rug is to die for. The house looks great. I found a collection from the Audubond 16 bird prints in all, at a estate sale. It was a good one!
    Take care of yourself,

  3. Julie,
    What great finds. I love the blue and white bowl along with the Round Top treasures. :-)
    I will hold good thoughts that the cold passes without lingering issues. Take care until you're well.
    xo,

  5. Love your find from Round top. I think I would put the grape pot on the bathroom wall and store rolled towel or extra toilet paper in it! Hope you don't get sicker, you need a break, that is for sure! Take care!

  9. I was going to suggest toilet paper or towels for the Grape Pod, but Kathysue beat me to it. I can't tell if this is a small grape pod or one of the larger ones that I have seen. But if size allows, how about using it for umbrellas or other gear in the mud room. What about using it for magazines? Or, use it in a boy's room for sports gear (tennis rackets, lacrosse sticks, bats, etc.)? Please give an update once you decide. Thanks!

  16. Taylor your round top finds are fabulous. I have one of those grape harvesters. They look great on a wall filled with something simple like Curly Willow. That rug is gorgeous...wasn't Round Top fun?
