I always say my little place is constantly evolving.
There's always room for improvement.
I rearrange and find new uses for things...constantly.
I've recently found a few things at random flea markets that I had to share and am so excited that my self-refurbished bar cart is almost finished!
...
My mom spotted this original Chanel perfume bottle...I gasped!
The dealer wouldn't budge on the $20 tag but she was too precious to pass up.
A once empty wall in my kitchen is no longer.
This large, Chinoiserie hand painted silk is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't even need to be reframed.
The original mirrored frame is just what I would have chosen.
A peek at my bar cart:
I was being super picky about what kind of ice bucket it needed. I saw plenty of crystal, cut glass and ones with funky 1960's patterns but I didn't want to settle on one that wasn't perfect. After a few months, I found this metallic silver color glass ice bucket and matching metallic ombre glasses.
Perfection.
Love the Chanel perfume bottle <3 I always enjoy reading your post!

Beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what the glass skull is? i've seen others that look like vodka and would love it in my house. Is it a brand?
ReplyDeletethankyou! x
20 dollars for an empty bottle that is not in mint condition is not my idea of a good buy, but it is just a matter of taste. I would have preferred to buy the actual perfume. Other than that, nice decor, that's the way to go, take your time to find not just a good piece but the perfect one.
ReplyDeleteI guess the perfume bottle is an antique and is not made anymore for $20? Your style in decorating is so chic- <3 it!!
