I havn't made the rounds to see what all you guys linked up this week. I have a house full of company, so time has been a little challenging to say the least. However I am thoroughly enjoying the company and having a ball. I hope you will forgive me for not checking in with everyone.
This weekend I made the rounds to a few garage sales, and I scored a few goodies. I love beautiful frames and I found two that I love.
I found a matching pair and although the artwork isn't bad, it is just so-so. It's the frames that I wanted. This still-life scene has beautiful colors and in person is really quite pretty. For $8 for the pair, I just had to have them. They're each 11 x 14, so a good size for a small area.
This little sliver of a wall next to the entry needs something of interest and the pictures and colors are just the right size for this spot.
Even the view that you see from the mirror is great. The gold of the frames tie in with the gold liner on the picture on the entrance wall.
So now if you're sitting on the sofa under the mirror, you have something pretty to look at across the room.
I found a couple more neat treasures that I will show you later. Did you guys find any goodies this week?
I am linking to the following parties:
Thrifty Thursday @ Tales From Bloggeritaville
Open House Thursday @ No Minimalist Here
Inspiration Friday @ The Picket Fence
Feathered Nest Friday @ French Country Cottage
Home Sweet Home @ The Charm Of Home
Wow,that was a great find for only $4. They fit perfectly in that space.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty...
ReplyDeleteYour new art is beautiful! Ohhh...I have such a weakness for ornate frames! The more heavily ornate...the better! So your new beauties are right up my design alley! Hehe! I love the art as well...such beautiful still life with warm autumn colors! They look gorgeous where you places them! Thanks for sharing your new pretties with us today! Have fun and enjoy your company, sweet friend!
Love ya,
Chari
Great treasures Marty! hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeletePERFECT! Just PERFECT! Those little painting are beautiful and go so well in that corner.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Marty, all of my life I have tried for that look..elegant..that's the word.
I have tried in my home AND in my style of dress, but for some reason it never turns out right.
I mean, I am fine with what I do..but "elegance" escapes me.
*sigh*
I LOVE your home! I know I have told you that before..but it is TRUE. Lovely!

Wow, $8.00 for the pair? That's great, Marty! I love all the detail!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal, Marty! They are really pretty!..Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome deal! They are lovely!
ReplyDeleteNothing this week so far...but I had a fun day crafting with Liz yesterday...It was way fun!!!
ReplyDelete$8.00 for the PAIR? I never find anything like that around here. I'm just going to have to travel to some better yard sales. Maybe Savannah.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal you got on those pictures. I'm a gold frame lover and these are just beautiful. Such an elegant living room space you have created!
ReplyDeleteMarianne :)

Those frames are pretty and a bit unusual. You have found the perfect place for them, as always.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find on those frames they are so rich in color & finish off your corner very nicely. I am loving that chair that is in the corner.
ReplyDeleteGreat find Marty. They fit that corner perfectly.

Good Day Marty...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous frames...My mother-in-law had some frames very simialar to these that she put in my daughters garage sale...I debated about getting them, but the gold just does not go in my house....guess what? I got them anyways...Can't pass up on beautiful frames...
hugs
Such pretty detail!
ReplyDeleteMarty, your new pictures have found the perfect wall to call home. They look very nice and were a great bargain. Continue having lots of fun with your company!! Shannon
ReplyDeleteI love these two pictures and they are perfect in that corner...but what really caught my eye is the gorgeous fabric on your chair - just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove this room. I have never paid much attention to your side chair, or maybe I've never seen it up close - but ooohhhh I love, love, love it. That print it is upholstered in is to die for. I love all your ornate frames. I have quite a few too. I think it makes a painting or print. Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeletegreat frames and art Marty.. adds just the right amount of color to that corner..
ReplyDeleteMarty, they are perfect on that little slice of wall. I love oil paintings in great frames. Joe and I buy them all the time. I am about to sell one I have had for a while and look for another! That is the fun of it. hugs♥O
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous score! I too love the gold ornate frames, (and you know how I love fruit paintings!) and for a mere 8 bucks?? Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
Hugs,
Patti
those look great, love the pop of yellow in the throw pillow!
