"SHOE" ME YOUR VINTAGE STYLE.....

Hello again,

If anyone is reading this, it'd be nice to let me know.  For some reason I have not been able to find my blog on the internet even though the settings allow for anyone to follow.  
I will just have to spend some time working out the kinks...

Anyway, I wanted to share one of my favorite vintage finds.  We were told it was an old shoe store advertisement.  It is mounted on a big board covered in a dark green painted burlap fabric.

I just love the colors, and that big ol' water stain on the front of the shoe.

The salesman wanted $75.00 for it and I asked if he would take $50.00.  He agreed and now it is the first thing you see as you enter our house.

I "shoe" hope you have a wonderful day.

Shelly

GOING VINTAGE CAN BE GROOVY....

I've been on the hunt for a couch for over four years now.  Knew I wanted something unique, not into the cookie cutter matching sets you find in the department stores. 


 My first choice would be something from  The Pottery Barn... 
a fat over-stuffed sectional; but really, seriously, just can't afford their prices.

Yesterday I was looking at classifieds and came across this couch that had a gorgeous shape, but very ugly fabric....see what I mean?

I saw way past it's looks...a diamond in the rough just waiting to be polished into a gem.

We got it for $100.00!!!

Hubby and I set it up in our living room last night and I draped neutral colored quilts over it to make it more presentable until we can take it to be reupholstered.

Sometimes when you see a Vintage piece you have to look past it's PAST....and see it transformed into what you want it to be in the present.  I could have passed up a great couch at a great deal just because of a first impression.  Imagine it in a month or two when its been reupholstered......a Groovy Vintage Find.
