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!

  1. That mirror is sweet and the price is even sweeter! I like the dresser with the french writing on it -- mostly because I've never been one for French Provincial. Whatever your taste...either would be great at those prices!

    1. I must agree that the one with the French writing was my favorite, especially since it was a little higher and was on wheels. Hubby didn't share my enthusiasm, though. We went back the next day and he didn't like the drawers that pulled out with nothing to stop them from falling if you pulled them too far. I guess I'll keep looking!
