Changing up the Mantel



 I have not fallen off the face of the earth....just haven't had much time to blog lately.   I have actually had a bit to write about, it was just the ACT of writing that I was having a hard time with.

Soooooo,

Since it is the Holidays, I thought I would show you all my Mantel.  Yesterday, I picked up some auction finds, and I had gotten a group of 5 pieces of artwork. 




I was more into the frames than the artwork....because they were so gorgeous.  But there was a little surprise in one of them.  The painting (it is actually a reproduction of a Cezanne) was UNDER another print....which is probably more valuable than the reproduction.  2 pieces of artwork for the price of 1!



 

I really like the original print, and think it would be really sweet in a little girl's room...but the colors of the Cezanne, just so happen to work in my living room right now.  And I was getting REALLY tired of the grouping of mirrors that I had.  It gave me just the nudge and what I needed to get my Holiday Mantel DONE!  Funny how that works.  I need something "new" to get my bottom in gear.  Can't leave well enough alone! Now, I just have to find those silly stockings.



I am off to get ready for the day.  Have a good one.  Tis the Season!

Speaking of Chairs


I have just had some new ones upholstered for the shop! These are great bentwood chairs that I had so much fun re-inventing. They would be amazing at a kitchen table....the white patent upholstery is super easy to wipe up and the backs have a super cool and fun apple green geometric pattern on them.  I have 4 of them.

THE LUCY CHAIR


They are $150 each, or $575 for the set of 4.

I have re-opened the shop for the month of December.
