Shopping for cottage furniture...

Hello! I hope you are doing well.

On Friday my sister-in-law and I went antiquing. We have had some nice cool weather this week, so it was a perfect day for shopping. I was on the hunt for some unpainted furniture pieces that I could paint myself and bring up to Birdsong.

Though I didn't see anything that hadn't already been painted, here are some pictures of the pieces that I saw and really liked. I am actually looking for a dresser for the master bedroom, something to put the TV on in the living room, and some additional pieces such as end tables, something to use as a coffee table, and maybe whatever else catches my eye. Because the house we live in is rather traditional, I am hoping to throw a little caution to the wind and do something that I wouldn't do here. There is something that will not let me paint beautiful cherry furniture just to meet current trends. But in the cottage? A totally different story!!

I love this dresser...

...and not a bad price, either...

How about this pretty bureau with the French

writing on it...

...and this one for a fair price also...

I love this mirror.

Pardon the reflections in it, but it was

hanging very high on the wall and this was

the best I could do...

...and at a very sweet price, too...

And as an aside, I couldn't resist taking a

photo of this new little baby booth...

Why all this attraction to the gray and pale blue colors? I guess because they're so different from anything we have here, and for another reason which I will reveal when I show you pictures of the two pieces I ended up buying. I will show you them in the very near future. Have a great day!
