Industrial/Elegant/Cottage Living Room Plans

I've been doing lots of footwork lately...

...collecting components - from thrift stores, 

from my garage, and all over my home.

I'm looking for that "just right" 

combination of objects...

...to put the finishing touches 

and style into my living room.

"I didn't realize you had finally finished 

your living room," you may be thinking.

And no, I haven't even finished painting it...

...or hanging the light fixtures...

                  ...but I do have some lamps...                          

...and a few industrial-ish things...

And I can see it pretty clearly in my head...

And meanwhile, I'll keep painting, 

and wiring, and collecting until one day...

I'll actually have a living room reveal for you to see!

It will be an Industrial/Elegant/Cottage Style 
living room with whites, grays, and metals.

It will be quirky, eclectic, and vintage and comfortable.

And it will be accomplished on a very tight budget.

Word for the Day:

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans togive you hope and a future.

May the plans He has for you be fully realized today, tomorrow and every day!

Angry Birds and Other Thrift Store Finds

I don't own an I-Phone. I have never played Angry Birds. 

But, that name kept popping into my head when I took a closer look at some of my latest thrift store acquisitions. Don't you agree - they just look ticked off! Nonetheless, I plucked them up for 59c each for the whole flock of them - four in all.

I was a happy bird to find this for $3.93! 

It's a tiny little rolling file cabinet. 

When I first spotted it, I thought it would be great for my future studio - but now I'm thinking it might be a good end table in my future living room. It will bring a little of the industrial vibe I'm going for!

It's a bit chippy and has a glued business card from a church on the top, but I think it will clean up nicely! 

I may sand it a bit and maybe give it another coat of spray paint. It opens in two places! 

Also for my house, I found a down/feather pillow form for $1, and a napkin for.25c. I will either use the napkin as a hand towel in the kitchen or make a pillow with it.

These signs will look good in my kitchen, along with another apple sign I found a couple of weeks ago:

If you're like me and are unsure what a Trattoria is, I looked it up on Dictionary.com. It is an inexpensive cafe that usually specializes in Italian food.


I got pretty excited to find this little corner shelf for a couple of bucks! 

I didn't notice it was damaged - sometimes I forget to check things out carefully enough when they're super cheap. I think I can sand it down and maybe cut the other side to match it.

I think it would look great in a bright color! But, I'll probably paint it chippy white. I might use it in my studio or possibly consign it.


I also found these little mirrors to consign. I'll spray paint them in bright orange or turquoise:

They were $1 each. I think they'll look cute with these:

They are vintage 1970's plastic items that I've seen on Etsy and Ebay. They bring a little vintage fun to eclectic environments. I can appreciate them, but they're not me, you know? I much prefer Angry Birds. 


Word for the Day: 


Ecclesiastes 10:20


Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, 
or curse the rich in your bedroom, 
because a bird of the air may carry your words, 
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.


A little bird told me to wish you a blessed Monday!
