Captured Treasures

 

My radar was finely tuned to only certain items that whispered tousled, romantic, rustic elegance. Wandering the aisles at the antique market last Sunday under a hot and hazy sky that threatened rain at any given moment, I was continuing my attempt to be very selective about what I place in Heaven's Walk.

My first purchase was an Italian tole candlestick in a lovely olive green.
It had potential.
And it reminded me of the beautiful tole candlesticks that Rachel has in her beautiful new home that I've been coveting for a long time.

After a quick session with some spray paint...

it became a pure white piece of sculptural beauty

that found a home in the guest bedroom.

One of two new vintage glass lamps (a $3 steal) now graces the nightstand next to a small, pink mercury votive.

In the master bedroom,

 dreams of ballerinas dance quietly.

I couldn't pass up these vintage roses surrounded by a worn and chipped frame,

and hung them on the wall next to our bed.

Across the room, replacing the ladder,

is a vintage sconce with the most beautiful patina.
I nabbed it for $8.

It was missing a few bits and pieces,

but after being adorned with a little bling from my stash,

and awaiting a new candle sleeve...

she rests in a quiet corner above pink crochet and ruffles.

I fell in love with the roses on this sweet little mustache cup,

and the petite floral china that now sweetens up the kitchen table.

Romantic vintage treasures that captured my heart
and found a home here at Heaven's Walk.
