Whether I need it or not, I always find a way to convince myself that its a "must have" or "one of a kind"....I am just addicted! Bless me!
I really like mixing expensive pieces with older (less expensive) pieces. Style changes and SO DOES MY TASTE!! (ALL the time!!!) So, since my taste is continually changing and I can't seem to stop buying...I decided to start SELLING!! I still can't seem to convince my husband that this really is a good thing...will he ever come around?! A couple of months ago I came home with FOUR oriental rugs....I went to just LOOK and fell in love with 4. I knew I'd be in trouble but the beauty of those things was way more worth it and I knew in my head how beautiful they would look in the new house=)
Needless to say I was right, my husband WAS FURIOUS but I assured him I wasn't going to ask him for a penny and pay them off by the end of the month! (wrong thing to say to a guy that doesn't believe in plastic) Completely against his beliefs, I put these on my credit card so I could earn the points ........... I KEPT MY WORD....paid off without touching checking or savings....I am ecstatic!!
I helped my sister host 2 earring parties and I started refinishing and selling furniture that I compulsively purchased!
Only bad thing now is....After the time I put into finding the fun pieces and then refinishing or painting them...I want to keep them all. AHHHH....
Anyways...here are 2 of the beautiful rugs....I don't regret these purchases...I couldn't live without them!!!
I'm going for neutral colors in the new house because they are easier to match but was also told I can still mix in my darker rugs with these...we shall see! Rug for formal living, bedroom and hallway runner taken care of=) (what I failed to mention is that I sold 1 of my rugs to my mom because she knew I was in deep water...good thing we have similar taste!!)
I delivered these two pieces yesterday
duncan phyfe drop leaf table painted with antique white and duck egg blue

My favorite part is the blue on the bottom side=)
Also delivered these 6 antique chairs to a lady yesterday....she got a bargain. I bought these last year from an antique store, only reason I got rid of them is because I wanted to replace them with some a little bit taller.
Such as this pretty ugly thing!
A trip to the Linen shop and we're in business...I LOVE my new chairs. That table and lamp are also recent projects- this picture was just staged!
I'm kinda loving gold leaf right now....that is a Queen Anne coffee table painted in antique white w/ gold leaf accent-LOVE anything with gold=)
Another beautiful fabric I scored and recovered this arm chair too!
More gold....I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!
Stay tuned....I have some BEAUTIFUL gold leaf sconces in the works, 2 dining room tables, a french provincial 9 drawer dresser, the dresser above, 6 chairs, 2 benches and 2 screen door/jewelry displays.
And ALL of this takes place INSIDE my house. Its a WRECK!! But...I just can't do that heat!

Goodness gracious!!! I am so jealous that you are able to buy and refinish all of this. I would love to do the same, but there is absolutely no room! I have three pieces sitting in the attic just waiting to be redone when there is room.
I am curious about the dining room tables. My Mom is on the hunt for one.
Hey Kelly you have great taste in rugs I must say!! That second picture is one we have in our sitting room! :)
