There's a spot in our breakfast area/family room that makes me smile whenever I look at it. Yep, I pretty much just love everything about it--not that's there's much to it.
Well here, let me show you...
Can you see it? It's the shelf vignette just past the chandelier.
That's the spot.
When we revamped this area last fall, I decided it would be the perfect landing place for one of my recently displaced Ikea shelves. I take great pride in noting that I installed the brackets and shelf all by myself-- with the help of a drill and a level. And it's still there ☺.
Although there are only three things up there, they are 3 of my favorites. And they were all cheap.
I love, love this painting.
The colors. Swoon. I bought it at the Tri-Town Rotary flea market for $1. Yes, $1 orignal art. Cannot. go. wrong.
This milk bottle collage print is from the Pottery Barn Outlet in Gaffney, SC. $9.99.
Considering I first saw it (and instantly coveted it) in 2004 at The Island Cow restaurant on Sanibel Island as part of their wall decor, I was thrilled to find it and make it mine.
The newest item, though I'm sure it's really the oldest thing up there, is the whelk shell.
I broke my own rule and *gasp* bought it last year when we went to the Outer Banks. I made the exception because the owner of the shop where I bought it assured me that he had personally found a whole big bunch of whelk shells on the beach in Corolla after a big storm the previous winter. At $3, totally worth it.
So there it is: my $14 happy spot.
Priceless.
Have a great weekend!
