I’m an artist. Perhaps you could glaze the painting or use antiquing wax? Something that wouldn’t change the integrity of the painting. Just tone it down a bit.
Thank you for this!! I hadn’t even considered antiquing wax to tone the colors down but love that idea!
You could put a clear glass pie plate inside the silver footed bowl to protect it from scratches, then add soil, early tulips or mini dafodil bulbs and cover it with pea stones. Grow the floers on your dining table!
The black swans are very attractive.
That bookshelf would have been a great opportunity to work in some dark academia 🤔🙂
The trophy is actually a good deal at $19. The rough-edged pages on books are cut that way. It’s called “deckle” edge.
Thank goodness for paint it covers a multitude of sins, lol. It looks great and so much better. It really blends nicely with the walls. It now has a commanding appeal.
Love your finds! Maybe instead of wall papering the entire space you could just paper behind the bookcase? That would really make it pop! 😊
Oh darling Jamison is just such a doll xoxo❤️🤗
Love the footed silver bowl!! Not only will it be great for Halloween, but my first thought was for Christmas with vintage ornaments, or! those beautiful amber ornaments you diy’d this past Christmas with your fairy lights mingled in. I think that would be lovely!
Yesss, that would look so pretty! 😍
I really enjoyed the video because it was a little bit of everything. I so love that wall upstairs with those shelves, gorgeous! You really got some great finds, love everything you picked up and that lamp is gorgeous. Your family is beautiful and you are richly blessed.
I think you could totally change the painting in some way! It is better to use something and give it a new life. Plus it would be good content lol!
I LOVE that skeleton picture!!!
As I librarian I was curious about the Michael Foster book. It wasn't an author I had heard of.
From Wikipedia: began his journalism career with the Brooklyn Eagle. He was a reporter and cartoonist for newspapers in Salina, Kansas; Los Angeles, California, and, by 1937, Seattle, Washington.
love all the finds! but obsessed with the built in shelf and that door!😍
I loved this video and getting to see more of your beautiful home. And oh my goodness your little family is gorgeous!
Aww, thank you Sarah!! ❤️
I’ve wallpapered many a room. Those large prints equal a lot of loss when matching the seams. Prepasted wallpaper is much less expensive and is easy to hang
Thank you Sherry, that’s valuable info! 🙌
So love that wallpaper. And that desk lamp. You’ve got such a great design eye.
Thank you Julie!
Not sure if anyone suggested this but a pocket watch with Chopin near the rabbit print might be fun to add
Love the swans;collect them ,too
Love the black swans. The mirrors that are that horrible gold (my opinion! ) , I spray paint them. They look great done in flat black and use a gold pen, one with a brush. Another one, I did pewter, it looks amazing , with silver and crystal in a bedroom. I do many picture frames, I used to buy new ,but find the spray paint and antique wax better. Love your home and how you bring it all together. I find difficulty getting the right cohesive look. Watching videos like this, makes sense of it all. Xx
The brass desk lamp is my favorite of your haul. Great looking patina and useful!
I love your treasures! The wallpaper is gorgeous!!!
Loved the video and seeing your family. Jamieson is a real cutie pie. I love your thought process with your mirror collage and the desk file drawer.
Loved all the different sections. IRELAND
I would paint over the colours of the painting. I have done it before and it came out great.
You can put a glaze over the painting to kind of yellow and age it. It will dull the colors and make it look antique.
The salvage shop is amazing!!!
Oops, I'm late to the party. Love the wallpaper, the lamps...all the things. I just about gasped when you were at the architectural salvage, and showed that huge gothic revival piece. I would call that gothic revival. Right? I love it! Anyway, you got so many great things, and have great ideas for them. Your house has so much character. I'm sitting here in our 1br apartment not being jealous, at all. Lol!
Wow I love that built in book shelf and it has a draw at the bottom you did a great job
This video was very interesting, your two men are very handsome. I love that wallpaper, it would look really gorgeous in your hallway, but it is certainly costly isn't it!
We have an attic fan too. It is so great! Ugly but great in the summer.
Love your home❤ you have a beautiful family.
I've used dark antiquing wax over gold frames to tone down the gold and give them an aged patina. That might be a good option for your mirror gallery wall instead of trying to purchase different mirrors.
Great finds! I personally would never cover up an original piece of art with some print off the internet but maybe thats just the artist in me talking. I love originals, they r very hard to find in my area.
Enjoyed so much. You could use Rub and Buff on your gold mirrors to change the tone.
I’ve never been to an auction :( I love the standup lamp
Possibly wallpaper one to two walls…not the entire area. If all walls it might be too much.
Hello, Happy Thursday. Yes, we have a list of Projects too. Nice Haul. SHARED TO THE BURGH(STTB).
So wonderful to meet your Sweet Family! 💖🤗. That Antique Store looked AMAZING!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 You found some BEAUTIFUL Treasures!! That Desk Lamp, the Antique Drawer and that Lamp were definitely my favorite!! Would LOVE to see how you Style that Shelf ☺️
Thank you Trudy!! Will be styling the shelf very soon and sharing! 😁❤️
I LOVE the wallpaper! Genuinely enjoy how you pull snippets of the gothic victorian style. Moody vibes are trending!
I love the lamp I have been wanting 2 just like that
How about wall paper around the newly painted book shelf I love it
Loved it all. The desk lamp is awesome.
Fun video!! :)
The store is amazing, everything looks so antique and in good condition. I loved your purchases , especially your standing lamp is gogeous. Your boy is such a cutie.
Thank you Tere!! ❤️
this was such a fun video!!! so many great finds... as a avid reader i adore the bookshelfs!!! the black swans are absolutley stunning!!!
Good haul!!
I’m so happy to be a new subscriber! You have my decor vibes!!!!
Love your finds. Both lamps were great.
Love the wallpaper. I have been looking at that very design. They have a peel and stick version of that on Amazon. You should look it up. Much cheaper
It’s such a pretty design! I’m also seeing that Home Depot has some great prices on wallpaper so I’m shopping around a bit before committing. ☺️
You should add some metal feet to the drawer
I love estate sales n auctions, bidding on a few but they are 2 hours away but really want a few of the items
What a pretty home! I love all the built ins and seeing the upstairs. Looks like a big house. I love old homes and antiques. The wallpaper is so pretty! That would add so much charm to your hallway.
Loved what you got today, and it definetely fits your home. Good finds! Love watching your videos
What a neat antique place, what’s the location? Look up estate sales in your area, sometimes you can find great items, normally the 2 and 3 day the items are reduced by 1/2 or last day even more. BTW, beautiful family!
ThNks! Loved the format, love your house, so much enjoy your talent and creativity. Can't wait to see your finished bookcase! Your music loving cup was awesome!
Great finds…good prices 😊Can’t wait to see when ur finished painting and decorating upstairs
Loved this vlog alot!!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed!! ❤️
Great finds, the oil painting absolutely gorgeous I don’t think I’d touch it up . Your home is full of character 🤗💕
Love your house, and your ideas. I think wallpaper upstairs in your landing would be beautiful. Excited to see your mirror gallery wall too. It gave me a idea to do the same. Thanks for sharing your content and talent.
Such stellar finds! Those lamps 😍 We just found an antique architectural salvage in our area and it's amazing! Happy weekend!
The White looks so good 😄♥
So fresh & so clean! 😁
Love the brass lamp and that trophy…❤ I wonder what the story behind it is. I can imagine someone was very happy they day they won it. Once you wallpaper the wall, maybe use some leftover to put on the side of the drawers so when you open the drawers you get a perk of it. Love your content no matter what format. You have exquisite taste and such a vision for decorating. Oh and your family is just adorable. Your son is such a cutie pie.
Great finds! You can use antiquing wax or rub and buff on your FB old frames to age them. Love your home and style.
I’ve always got some rubnbuff on hand! I think I need some antiquing wax also I could probably get the look with that combination. ☺️
Just love the Bridge Lamp. I don't think the shade is the one that came on it but it looks nice and I like the shade.
Great video! Love selling the projects the finds and the brainstorming. On the same page with you with gold too. If you end up selling the floral painting let me know pretty please!☺️ I have a space in my home that would love it!! ❤️
The painting is yours now. I would modify it.
Love all the treasures you found. Enjoy your videos showcasing your old home and how beautifully you decorate it for every day living and holidays but most especially for Halloween!
I love the oil painting you bought but if you want to mute the colors of the flowers a bit you might want to try some dark wax. I use it on paper, cloth, and wood with good results so it might be worth a try🤷♀️ You might want to try a bit on a small area perhaps on the back just to make sure there’s no weird reaction with products that might be on the painting. Good luck.
Use some dark wax on your picture. It will tone down the bright colors
I live in Marion county ks
What about using antiquing wax over the flowers of the painting? I would find out if it is worth anything before altering it. Love your style.
Im looking at that wallpaper hoping if you got it that your little ones didn't see coloring book when they saw it ......
❤
I loved your wall paper. It’s beautiful. Would please tell me what color you used in your hallway. I really don’t like yellow white. I’m having a hard time choosing. I thought your walls looked great! Thank you
Thank you Terry! The paint color is Sherwin Williams “Alabaster” it’s creamy and warm but not too yellow. ☺️
@@KrystaMeeker Thank you. I love your style!
Try some antique wax
Consider painting the upstairs bookcase (and the wall it’s on) a dark color?
We have considered pulling a color from the wallpaper to do the bookcase as an accent. We aren’t sure on the wallpaper just yet so for now it needed a refresh and something to lighten up the dark hallway. ☺️
Where did you find the Halloween house from!!?
Do you have a link for the wallpaper?
I agree with you about the painting. You could black out the two bright flowers into the background of your painting, and the arrangement that’s left would still look good.
What area of Kansas are you? I’m also in Kansas. I rarely hear of people from Kansas in this genre. I’m in Wichita.
How do I find on line auctions? You did not mention which one or any info.🌺
Hi Phyllis!!
EstateSales.net has an app that is great for finding local estate sales and online auctions in your area so you can pick your wins up locally!! Hope this helps, happy hunting! ☺️
Does your husband have on an Underoath sweatshirt?👀
No no no DO NOT take out that built in... Do Not do it. Please preserve it's history of it with the home... It's beautiful unique and humble.
