Odds and Ends

Today, I have a couple of pictures of odds and ends that will go into our house. The images are of not-so-great quality as they were taken with an iPhone, but I wanted to go ahead and show you. Because....well...I like them, it's Friday, and why not? :)

The first is the light fixture I bought at Round Top for my dining room.


I spotted it while waiting in line for a quick restroom break. If I hadn't had to wait in that line, I don't know that I would have spotted it. The clerk wasn't sure of it's story, but they assumed it had been in a bank or something once upon a time. Won't it look great with a neat ceiling medallion? I just think that glass globe is beautiful, and I can't wait to see what it looks like installed!

The next picture is of one of my grandmother's chairs that I want to have recovered and incorporated into the living room.


As you can see by the picture, they are currently stored at my parents' house in the playroom. However, they originally presided over my grandmother's formal living room covered in silk. By the way, I just love formal living rooms. They seem to always be still and peaceful. I remember feeling that way in my grandmother's, and perhaps that's why I feel that way about them all. I am so honored to have these chairs for my own home now. There is nothing better than beautiful pieces with personal stories!

And finally, I was flipping through the most current Pottery Barn catalogue the other day, and nearly died when I saw this:


I know this isn't going to mean much to you, because I haven't shown you a picture of my buffet, but believe me when I tell you, it looks like Pottery Barn snuck into my house and copied my buffet! I got mine at Round Top last year, and one of the only differences is that mine has a really neat latch for the bottom doors. The other main difference: Mine cost less than half of what they're asking. :)

Happy Friday, friends!
