American Style Tallboy in Antique White

I won this piece in an auction as I could see it had really good bones. It was shabby and neglected but with some sealer, antique white vintage paint and semi gloss poly she is now transformed:

 This is how she started off, and check out those weird drawer runners! If anyone knows about these please let me know as I have not come across them before.

And back to some great refurb photos again...I love the the combo of blue and white always!

Blue and White's Alright!

I heart blue and white Chinoiserie vases. I'm not sure where my obsession  collection has really come from, but I scour garage sales and trade me for new pieces to add to my little collection. I think my mother in law loves it too as she turns up quite often with new pieces to add to my collection that she had found in the local charity shops!

Because everything I have is reclaimed and pre loved it is a unique collection. and it goes with everything, the perfect styling medium

Here are a few photos of how I use it around my home..

Valentines Day - use the vases as...Vases!

Photo Day - use blue & white to stage a furniture piece

Two beautiful miniature pieces given to me

And my other collection.....religious icons, jumps in and photos bombs too

Photo shoot props from inside the Villa

How the original collection started, only a few pieces

Blue & Whites alright for styling anytime!
