It's the Little Things...

Aaahhh, summertime. (Insert sounds of birds chirping and lawn mowers running here.) 

Usually, I spend my Saturday mornings cleaning house, but I had to run a few errands, so I headed out and decided to have a little shopping therapy.

Wait...what's that???!!! (Insert sounds of screeching tires here.) 

OOOOOHHH, a garage sale at the end of my block...just for me. :) Thank you. I think that was a sweet little indicator of a good day ahead.

I found the little cubby thing above - it's not huge, about 18" square, but I think it might serve a purpose somewhere around here. It's getting painted, of course.

I also bought a milk glass plate I'll list on Etsy, and a bunch of "crafting" things; magnets, wooden letters, mats, felt to back vintage things...they were cheap.

You already saw my big purchases if you read about my amazing crates and $5 table, so this post is dedicated to small things I plan to use in my semi-dramatic living room redo in September.

This is the piece that got my brain cogitating on an industrial living room...with Mustard accents. I bought it a while back from Donna's Etsy shop. I love it. FYI - she has more...

Then, I found the piece above...at Ross. It had been marked down and I think it was $8.99. It needed a little touch up with black acrylic paint, which I was happy to do.

Once I decided to go all out industrial vintage glam for the fall, it was almost like things started appearing out of the blue...gifts from heaven!

Last Friday, I found 4 like-new pillows for $1 each. 3 of them will be used in my living room - 
shades of mustard & camel.

A Waverly gold velvet damask. A gold tiny bolster with trim that may or may not get covered up...and a ROUND pillow. I love it!

If I get bored (like that ever happens!) I can shoot hoops. 

This one may be a jumping off place for decorating the middle bedroom for fall & Christmas!

Wool latch-hook pillows like this are not cheap! Similar ones sell for about $50. Isn't it adorable? Especially for a buck. And this kitty won't shed or poo...

I'm getting excited about using mustard, like I did about using radiant orchid. 

I still have some projects to work on before I can begin assembling my room, though. 

Hey...I just looked at the date today and realized something...this is my 3 year blogiversary. 
It's Lynn's too...we were conceived on the same day. Happy blogiversary, Lynn!

Word for the Day:
Luke 13:18-19
18 He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?19 It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”
