So… how was your weekend… my lovelies?? I had a great weekend… I spent considerable amount of time sketching out what I want to do around the house… I haven’t finished as yet… but just getting started makes me feel good!!! I haven’t even reached the ‘to-do’ list stage!
Walking around the garden this morning, I found these… My love for lamps, lanterns and candles is pretty visible here…
A few years ago, I was obsessed about things getting rusty… so I’d paint everything… but now.. again and again… But now… I am loving the old – rusty look… are you? I have a few wind chimes that I’ve painted… but now am simply leaving the rust as is… and am loving it… *smiles* Are these
Funky Junk Interiors or what?? Can you spot the rust??
I searched high and low for a mosaic top table… and when I spotted this in the classifieds... I simply couldn’t resist.. I’m not great with second hands… but I wanted this table soooooooooooooo bad!!
I picked it up.. without even thinking.. The top.. which I show you regularly is simply gorgeous.. but the base & chairs are a bit rusty… This is on my not yet created ‘to-do list’… I was thinking of painting it yellow… but now have settled for white.. Will show you pics when I’m done… (not very soon!)
Oh… and I have to tell you the story of my two lanterns… These are real old!! I spotted them at a vegetable vendor on my way to Fujeirah… I asked if he would sell them to me.. The guy was shocked, laughed and said… I could take them for free… I finally took them from him and paid him a small bit… He laughed… But I became two lanterns richer… I totally love them – one green & one blue… and both a little rusty!!
Do you like my rusty look??
