Back when we were filming for the Nate Show, I was pulling out some last minute vignette decorating here, there, and everywhere.
Remember that piece I’ll never paint?
Originally, it was headed for the new dining room, but it was just too much in there. The piece needed room to breathe, and the room needed that large gallery wall.
So it sits on the wall behind our sofa, in between the dining room and the kitchen bar, shining in all its glory.
I love that buffet.
With a capital L.
As much as we love eclectic decor and assymetrical arrangements in our home, I need a few spots of definite symmetry.
I like some straight, clean lines, folks.
The antique buffet holds the two seagrass lamps I scored at TJ Maxx and an antique wooden bowl (flea market) holding some decorate wooden balls (flea market & Honduras).
Clean, simple.
Above it are hanging 3 vintage prints I found at Salvation Army. They were 20 bucks for all three prints and frames, and they are signed by the original artist, Don Davey…I love the three San Francisco landscapes, and that they are original.
I know the prints are mass produced now, and you can score some of your own on eBay.
On another random note, I’m still loving that crate you saw in our entry.
I’m off to explore some more of NYC on our last day here until the stores close or I collapse.
One of the two.
Just beautiful! Those prints, are a great find! Enjoy NYC, the city is so much fun!
I saw those same prints in Salvation Army! It’s one of my favorites in Troy!
Beautiful… all of it! The lovely neutrals with that pop of blue… love it!
Shaunna, I love the whole display. You know how to pull it together and I’m so jealous! I would love to have that ability.
I love your vignette! The prints are amazing! Lucky girl! Have a wonderful time!
I’m swooning over those prints! Love them! Enjoy your NYC day! xoxo
I wondered where that BEAUTY was in your big reveal! Girl you should NEVER paint that sexy beast!
My husband bought me this beautiful Empire style sideboard made from flame mahogany. I definitely will NOT paint it but it needs some “lovin” . Can you recommend something that can give it some “moisture” with out looking over done? The lady at the the antique store suggested Howard’s Restore A Finish…have you ever used this?
Your house looks so family friendly and magazine perfect at the same time! Keep those post comin’!
Those prints were such a lucky find!
I definitely think it’s good to have a few unpainted pieces. It breaks it up a bit and looks lovely!
I am dying over those lamps, really the whole setup!
When I read “remember the piece I’ll never paint?” my first thought was….oh no!! She’s going to say she painted it. 😉 So glad you didn’t! That kind of piece is too pretty to paint….just perfect the way it is!
Love your design!!
Hugs,
Gail
LOVE the buffet and the lamps are gorgeous. Isn’t it great when you find hidden treasures at places like the Salvation Army and Good Will 🙂
