Vintage Vignette

I spent all last evening rearranging our "decor" after taking down our Christmas stuff... My husband watched and chuckled as he asked "So, I guess I better get used to coming home to a new living room every couple months?" Of course, I'm thrilled that a simple remix makes it feel like a whole new room. 

Here's a look at one of my projects...

I redid this shelf with some of my favorite things...


Cigar boxes and antique pharmacy bottles...


I like the hints of teal color mixed in to go with my scale...


Blue Mason Jar...


Hope it inspires you to look at your old things in a new way... 

Blessings!

Kirstin 


Here is a list of the parties I'm excited to link up with this week....

    Beautiful! Looks like you and I have very similar taste. I have a thing for Blue Mason Jars. I have a collection of them and was so excited to find 2 more a few days ago at the Goodwill for 99cents!!! I love what you did with the shelf. Can't wait to see more!

    Super cute!! I love the pops of blue! Blue mason jars with zinc lids are my favorite. I used old books and a scale for my winter vignette too! :) Even though I've been reading your posts for awhile, it still amazes me how similar our styles are!

    Beautiful - my grandfather was a pharmacist, so I love the old drug store treasures. I also adore the color of your scale - I've not seen one that color before. All of it is gorgeous. I started blogging in August and my husband has finally realized it may be better if he doesn't ask what I'm doing :). New follower here...can't wait to see more.
