TO ME, it's one of those things that makes me SOOOO happy I could drool! (I may have drooled a tiny bit already)
One of my friends saw it and said "You're drooling over that????" haha...and yes, yes I am. Are you the kind that loves antiques like me? If not, I'm sorry-this post will look like a piece of junk! If so, you're gonna love what I'm about to show y'all. :)
So here's the story:
I am currently looking for a buffet/dresser/sofa table to put against a wall in our kitchen area. I have the itch to fix up a piece of furniture and so I decided that I
Y'all, this antique shop is 85,000 square feet. NO, I didn't not mistype that. I am SERIOUS! I was like a kid in a candy shop walking through that place. I spent about two hours there just looking at every single thing.
AND
this is what came back with me:
{Just to clarify: we're talking about the antique window, not the coffee filter wreath..:) }
TA DA!
Look at the wonderful chippy white paint and the EIGHT panes. Those are hard to come by now-a-days.
I love the way it looks above our bed- let's hope and pray it doesn't fall on us in the middle of the night. That would hurt, something awful.
It's kind of dirty, but it adds character, right? I also love the coffee filter wreath I hung from a nail. Looks so scrumptious and fluffy...
The antique dealer told me that it came from a home built in the early 1900's...and guess what else?

It was only $20!
That's a pretty great price if you ask me.
He's also got some old shutters he's going to sell me once he brings them to the shop.
AND I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THEM!
So...whatcha think? Am I crazy for buying an old window?
Too bad it's been RAINING like crazy here...the sun is nowhere to be found so the lighting in the pictures isn't the best..but I was SO excited to share with y'all so I couldn't wait for the sun. He's not coming around this weekend at all says the weatherman. :(
My wonderful sister-in-law is here and we're planning to go out to eat tonight and shopping tomorrow! Woohoo!
Hope y'all have a GREAT weekend!!!
Xoxo,

What great finds -- the shop AND the window! What a beautiful room, too. I love how soothing the neutral tones are. Very restful.
