Updated Side Table and Freshly Curated Decor

A wonderful weekend of pop-up sales means I am hitting the trail sourcing new items for my next Spring Home pop-up, March 20 & 21. Let me start with sharing this little, homemade side table that I found. It clearly needed saving and updating, but had good bones.

I sanded it lightly and cleaned it thoroughly and then painted it with a warm brown, which was an oops can of paint. A couple coats of paint and clear coat and it is ready for a new home.

This table makes a great side table and can be used lengthwise or widthwise like in the picture. It would make a good plant stand too.

I styled the upcycled table with fresh, colorful finds to create an eclectic vignette for spring. Note the elements that help create an interesting and unique vignette: repeated colors and materials, varying heights, items arranged to form visual triangles, and unique, quirky objects.

Colorful dishes sit on a very old, handwoven fabric piece that I think was a pillow cover. I have it folded here, but I may stuff it to make a pillow. The colorful bird art, entitled Gossip Girls,  is printed on wood.

The blue in the woven fabric pops with the vintage (made in the 90's), blue teapot and mugs. The mugs sit on a hand painted, crazed plate. The blues and pinks on the plate connects the woven piece and the mugs and helps to ground them.

Faux flowers in a woven "vase" repeat the vignette colors. The vase's texture and woven fabric texture create more cohesion.

And, what about these carved, wood ducks with ducks inside of each of them? 

A greige quilt is draped on the chair with a vintage book and a blue creamer.

More old books sit on the bottom shelf with an old basket that holds wooden bobbins and a wool, woven placemat. A floral stitchery and a round mirror hang on the wall. 

I love these fresh, funky finds and I am excited to offer them to my customers.
