purchased...

two new-to-me pairs of vintage eyeglasses.

I am terrible at making important purchasing decisions like this. I hum and haw and hum some more. It takes me forever. And ever. But I finally narrowed down the dozen open tabs in my browser to these two beauties.

 

I can't wait till they get here! I really needed a change.

Found in this shop.

Dining Room Re-Do

I was getting kind of tired of the art wall on my Green DR wall. I mean, how many art walls can one main floor have? So I gave the green a refresher, got rid of the treasure-map inspired paint, and pulled out my collection of vintage wooden frames.

Before...

After...

 

 

All of the frames, cake pans, and the giant "silverware" are thrifted! I have been saving these guys for what seems like forever, for just the right project. When I was a Goodwill a month ago, I found a stack of metal cake pans that were the most fabulous colours! I went back the next day and bought them, and the whole design formed in my head as I was driving home!

I might add some pretty paper or fabric to the frames, but for now I really like the simplicity of it! Plus, it's vintage & quirky, which I guess makes it "kitschy", which I am totally okay with!
