Happy Sunday morning to everyone!
It's another sunny, warm Autumn day here at the Lakehouse.
The colors outside are gorgeous!
I LOVE using pieces of vintage trim to decorate with.
I've scrounged around in old barns, junque piles, flea markets, and my daughter's trash heap for pieces of trim to rescue and re-use.
I bring them home, clean them up, sometimes give them a coat of white paint, then use them in the corners of the house that need a little extra something to catch one's eye.
Why anyone would consider these gorgeous pieces "junk" is beyond my comprehension???? They are pieces of art to my eye. Hand carved to achieve the curves, and designs of each piece.
To each his own I guess.
Sometimes I think about the person that carved, or designed these works of art. The hard work they put into each piece to achieve such beauty....it amazes me.
These are just a few of my favorite pieces. I have lots more, but will save them for another post.
Enjoy your day!
Blessings.
Debbie
So interesting and beautiful, I agree with you.Your photography is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie
ReplyDeleteI love all of your wonderful trim work, it all looks so pretty in your home! Hard to believe anyone would throw it away! I really like the square blue piece, too!
Morning Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the party! Your pieces are wonderful. I do not have any of my own, but would love to have a house full of it. Rebecca beats me to it! LOL
Can't wait to see the rest of your collection.
Hugs- Tete
Oh Debbie -I thought Tete was going to move in with you, but I'm coming too! I simply love all architectural things-it's probably my favorite of all things out there. I'm lucky to have some on my house, but I'm searching for more-great Halloween header!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThe pieces are gorgeous. I'm looking for these for long, it's hard to find any here :( They will be nice on any corner of the house.
A happy Sunday to you.
I love all your pieces you have found and tresured! Debbie, you having a great eye and photograph things so well! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI have seen beautiful pieces before but was stumped as to how to use them. I love the one you have on the lower window sill. Most of our doorways in our home are curved, so that's not an option. You have such a great imagination, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the cloche {using pumpkins and gourds}. What do you think for Christmas while we are on the subject??!
XO,

Your stove is wonderful! I like your blog and I need to look over all of your older posts. Do you have a picture posted of your mirrors? I'd love to see them. I haven't decided where I'll hang mine yet and I need ideas. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just love hearing the Monster Mash...it's been years since I've heard that and it was so popular when I was little.
Beautiful Treasures Debbie, How in the world would Any of this Gems end up Discarded!

Boy did you give your blog a make-over! That creaking door music is kinda startling at first. Love the corbels. ♥O
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving me the titles to the posts. I love your mirrors! The next rainy day I will look over your entire blog...I like your taste!
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks so good for Halloween!
Thanks!
Beautiful trim pieces, Debbie. I love them all. I have had a fascination with these whirly-qued, frilly pieces of trim since I was a kid. I loved it when I found out that some of it is called gingerbread trim. Wouldn't you know...anything to do with food and I would LOVE it? lol Nice post, my sweet friend..Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignettes and photos as usual, sweetie! :) Junk? Who called those treasures junk? Probably a man.....yeah....a man..... lol!

I love all of your vintage trim work. I too think about the persons that created them and the stories the pieces would have to tell.
ReplyDeleteLike your music... after my heart rate slowed back to normal, LOL! Annette
