"Here He Comes...Walking Down The Street"

     Here he comes walking down the street...well not actually walking but trust me I needed help getting this piece home.

     And if you have ever priced these beds before they can be quite pricey indeed. They come in many different styles and colors too. Personally I like mine best because I only paid $15 (now that my friend is a fraction of the retail price) and a want fulfilled too.

     Until next time happy collecting, thrifting and seeing your vigilance pay off...

 Long drive home

 It's huge and heavy too

I'm waiting...

Let's try this way...of course

"A Home Run or Bust"?!?

     Okay..I'm just putting this "post" out there and perhaps you can help me decide...if this find is a home run or bust? While on a Sunday evening drive I found this...

Queen size tufted fabric headboard

     and thought it'd look great paired with....

crisp white bed linens

     plus...

multi colored throw

     and...

throw pillows

     It's a definite stretch from my typical color palette in my home but I thought I could use it in a spare bedroom or put it up for sale. It's not blue or white but it has this tangerine color and 70's sway that was just calling my name...Rita buy me!

     So I spent the $15.00 and if it doesn't work out...the money spent goes towards a boys group home. So what do you think? Bust or home run? Actually I like it! 

     Until next time happy collecting and thrifting...

     I'm sure to get better at this for example patience, Instagrams and probably some other things. I'll tell you more as I look to share more about The Blue Farmhouse becoming your own personal shopper. Wish me luck please!

"A Little Goes A Long Way...."

     This is my advice to which I adhere to when decorating with these beautiful architectural ceiling medallions. These pieces were often used to suspend chandeliers and where very commonly found in older homes. Today they are still used as accent pieces, but not just only the ceilings also the walls in your home too.

     I love the intricacy found in these ceiling medallions and if you look hard enough you can locate one while scouring flea markets, thrift stores and yard sales. I found my first one at the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market (awesome trip) and another one last week painted a deep burgundy color and purchased it for $3.99. If you find one painted in a color you don't like just simply redo it...I'm repainting mine white.

     I look forward to showing you the end results so until next time happy collecting, thrifting and remember ..."a little really does go a long way". See you soon!
