Afternoon Sunlight

I recently walked into my room and found this corner to be so pleasing to my senses. Nothing elaborate by many standards. Nonetheless, this spot makes me happy.

The vintage desk turned bedside table, was a lucky find I recently purchased from Thrift Studio (now going on thru May 23rd).

Resting on the table, is Downtown Chic by the dynamic design duo, Robert and Cortney Novogratz. It's another recent purchase from Thrift Studio (although it was published in 2009, it's new to me). ;)

The vintage silver and brass lassi cup was one I picked up from new friend, Courtney, over at Mela & Roam. I love putting fresh cuttings from the yard in it.

The vintage french hotel trinket dish I found on an excursion to a Paris flea market.  It holds spare change and things.

The simplicity of design and the sunshine filtering through the window was so pretty to me, I just had to share. I hope your week is going splendidly and that you find a smidgen of joy in a corner of your home.

Found ~ A Banker's Chair

It makes me happy to give an item or a piece of furniture another chance at being loved and used.  I'm never disappointed with the assortment of wonderful finds at Dwell With Dignity's Thrift Studio.  A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to walk away with this beautiful banker's chair which was part of their last pop-up store.  I'm always amazed at the fabulous pieces that are donated and sold for this most worthy organization.  If you didn't get a chance to make the fall studio, no worries, this is a biannual event that will be coming again next spring.

Have a happy fall day!

Before and After ~ Knoll Chair

It's long been a dream of mine to own an original Knoll piece of furniture.  But as we all know, they are so dang expensive.  When I attended Dwell With Dignity's Thrift Studio last fall, I was thrilled to find this vintage Knoll chair ~ with nameplate intact. 

 

Obviously, the chair needed a makeover.  

 

With the addition of this lovely faux white leather fabric. I think the Knoll chair has been returned to it's former glory.  I'm happy as a clam to have it sitting in my home.

I hope today you're feeling happy too!  What treasure has brought some joy into your world lately?
