InstaFriday: Decorations
I've gotten a few new little items from The Nest - my favorite vintage and shabby chic store in downtown Burlington - thanks to Granma and Grandaddy Shelley! They gave me a gift certificate for Christmas. :)
I collect antique Ball mason jars and I LOVE the blue ones.
This is on a shelf in our kitchen nook.
Since the Christmas decorations are gone (sad!) - I put together a new coffee table arrangement. That little bucket can hold our remotes/a game controller.
I am SO GLAD I bought that tray from The Nest. I couldn't decide how I would use it, but the grays and blues on it look perfect in our living room.
Can you tell I love using old Readers Digest books? (Inherited that love from my favorite decorator - my mother!)
The patterns on them are so lovely - and I've actually read out of some of them too. For one or two dollars a piece at antique stores, they're hard to beat.
This chalkboard also came from The Nest. I was going to make one, but this was the perfect size I was looking for with just the right color gray for the frame. And I couldn't make one that size for less than $12!
That verse always reminds me of God's amazing peace. Why do I worry about the future? The Lord of all creation has it under control.
I tend to freak out about things (just ask Jordan!), so I knew this would be an excellent verse displayed for me to see every day.
So thankful for that promise - I hope it can encourage you today as well.
I linked up with Life Rearranged!
Happy Friday :)
So happy to see Exodus 14:14!! It's my all time favorite verse! Love those Mason jars, too! Great stuff :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love the vintage look and you seem to have a great eye for decorating that way :)
ReplyDeleteI saw that chalkboard there! Loved it but it wasn't the size I needed, so I ordered one from Etsy. I have some blue, Ball jars in my attic. I should get them down!!!
ReplyDeleteThese decorations are so incredibly cute :) I love them. You are an awesome decorator :)
ReplyDeleteI love your decorations! They're so cute I just want to pin them :)
ReplyDeletelove it all but love you the most! you're so beautiful and talented! and there's no doubt about it that you get it from your mother!!!
ReplyDeleteI collect old mason jars too!! I love the blue glass jars, they are my favorite. Your decorations are great, we have the same style. I have never been to The Nest, do they have any antiques there?
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to buy a BOX of blue mason jars at a garage sale last summer - FOR $1.00 EACH. But we were on our way to the beach for vacation and the car was jampacked already so I turned em down. KICKING MYSELF!!! All that to say I love your blue jars :)
ReplyDeleteWow! So many cute things! :) I wish I had a store like that nearby... actually, maybe I don't as I'd spend too much money there!
ReplyDeletefirst of all - you are adorable!! :) love the verse and love all your finds...i'm pretty sure our houses would match :)
ReplyDeleteI love old Ball mason jars. I am going to have to check out this store! Love all your decorations. :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. :) I have three of the old, blue Mason jars and love them. I like how you arranged yours. Love the verse on your chalkboard. A wonderful reminder!
ReplyDeleteI love those decorations! Ps I have a ton of blue (and clear) mason jars from my wedding just a few weeks ago. I need to get rid of them because I just don't have much room for them right now. If you're interested, email me :)

My grandmother used to have all those Readers Digest books! I wish I knew what had happened them after she passed away...
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful decorating style and I love how you pull it all together. You are creating a beautiful home for you and Jordan. Love you both. Gma Shelley
